South-by-Southwest is just around the corner! It starts in downtown Austin on March 16th, and has probably about a hundred bands lined up to play at various venues around town, from big bands like Blue October and The Heavy to lesser known bands waiting to be discovered. Some of those bands have pretty great names, (i.e. Chicano Batman) but others… well, here’s my list of the 10 bands playing the festival this year with the most unfortunate names.
1. Hand Job Academy
Hopefully they’ll play their big hit, "PU$$Y Chicken", from their album #IkeaMonkey. Can’t make this stuff up.
2. Butta P
Rapper slang for peanut butter... I think.
3. Cumstain
...It was very, very difficult to find an appropriate picture of them.
4. No Parents
This angry punk-rock band is playing at midnight not long after Cumstain. They’re 21+, and the best part? No parents!
5. Diarrhea Planet
Maybe they’re trying to make an artistic commentary on the world. Or maybe they just wanted the grungiest, most mini-vomit-inducing name possible.
6. GRRL
If any guy ever tries to call you “GRRL” over text, delete his number.
7. $uicideBoy$
The title is made even more encouraging by the dollar signs.
8. Slothrust
I choose to read it as "Sloth Rust."
9. DJ Durhdy
The gag is silent.
10. DJ Paypal
I can’t really think of anything negative to say, it’s just a funny name. May be a copyright problem, though.
These are just some of the interesting names playing the festival this year, and while they might be perfectly awesome acts, their names are just… you know. Durhdy.
