My band almost had that problem, but I don't think it's that big of a deal.

There was some shitty prog rock band from Canada called Harlequin.

My band got their name from a book in the early 2000's, these group of assassins called The Harlequins.

I think making it plural changes things.

Also, The Misfits and Misfits. We all know that story though.

Apparently there's some county/southern rock band called Unwound. I unfortunately stumbled upon them on Youtube one night.

The Boys (Nebraska power-pop/mid-70s)
The Boys (1977 UK punk/powerpop)

And I bet no one ever used that name before them!

How many bands have been called The Girls in the last 10 years?
Most notably, the more recently hyped one from the SF Bay Area.
And the sorta Devo-meets-The Briefs one from Seattle on Dirtnap.
But neither had as much of a genius stroke as the Midwest Devo contemporaries...

Blitz (1979 US powerpop/"Panic Button" is great!)
Blitz (iconic UK82/oi! band, later a synthy postpunk band)

There's that Lois Maffeo band called Courtney Love. It really confused me the first time I listened to the band's cover of Beat Happening's "Don't Mix the Colors" on the Kill Rock Stars compilation LP.

Oh yeah, and there used to be a local band in my small California town that was called Oasis.

uh yeah I bought a 7" by Courtney Love in high school thinking WHOA SHE MADE A SOLO SINGLE only to find it was Lois. Don't get me wrong, Lois is great, but not what I was expecting to hear.

Pookie · 11.06.2011, 05:52 PM

Lots of UK bands called The Rain, and they're all shit. Especially the one that changed their name to Oasis.
