'Touching Moving Cars' definitely evokes images of shit cheap flyers and gradually decaying stickers posted all over pub toilets and that. And to a lesser extent bad 'arty' black and white promo photos that don't obscure the receding hairlines quite enough.

Here's some more real names from a concert that was to take place in Glasgow today but was sadly cancelled at the last minute!!!! Shame, because I would have liked to see who on Earth would have named their bands:

The Atomic Bitchwax!!!!!!!!!
Pointless Creation!!!!!!!!
[This the good one!!!] Jesus Elephant God!!!!!!!!!!

In a similar vein to j.lu: I've seen posters for a band called Plus Special Guests.

There is actually a band in Glasgow called The Sexx Godz!!!!!!

― Old Fart!!! (oldfart_sd), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 14:41 (twenty-two years ago)

two years pass...

"haha wouldn't it be funny if someone called their band FREE BEER"

"There actually was a Free Drinx in NJ at one point."

I remember seeing the ads for Free Drinx in East Coast Rocker years ago. They always posed really macho-like and boasted about how 'kick-ass' they were (for a cover band, I guess). Finally, one day I opened up ECR and found that some guys had gotten together and placed a parody ad of a simarly corny fictitious band called 'Free Parking', complete with all the pretentious trimmings. (It was priceless.)
Apparently, Free Drinx still play around and may have something to do - personnel-wise - with another ingeniously-named band, The Roadies.
