The return of the original Canonical List of Weird Band NamesBack in 1995, White People Lie, along with some of their pals at
Bright Lights Film Journal, launched the original
Canonical List of Weird Band Names. After a couple of years, they handed it over to a fan who maintained it for a while, but then disappeared. Since then, that list has been reproduced on hundreds of web sites and has received odd bits of mainstream publicity, including a mention in
Entertainment Weekly of all places. Anyway, after all these years, we decided to relaunch the site and actively update it. Go to the
Canonical List of Weird Band Names and submit the crazy names of your favorite nutty bands! (Send links, too, if available.)
