Top 3 Japanese Band Names (Notes from Under the Tatami Mats–62 … My Adventures in Japan)

A great, nonsensical name for a very good band.

Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her

This name was taken from the title of a song by the British band XTC.

Not a bad place to start – to start rocking, that is.    _{(Image source)}

Thee Michelle Gun Elephant

Somehow, these guys came up with this great, nonsensical name for their very good band, which played some very good, basic rock’n’roll.    _{(Image source)}

The Beatless

This was only an amateur Sendai band that played average covers of overly-familiar tunes by a certain sub-par British pop band, but this is arguably the wittiest name ever for a cover band.
