Default Band Names

Every now and then someone uses a phrase that makes me think, "That'd be a great name for a rock band." Here's today's:

Termite Damage

Anyone care to contribute? To qualify, the names should be "found art" -- things you overheard or things you found yourself saying in other contexts, not just "good band names I thought of".

I suppose it's okay if the name is for a band other than rock... like bluegrass.

My social group do that all the time. Few conversations are not scattered with pauses followed by somebody saying "That's a good name for a band". Sometimes countered with "No - but maybe an album".

Drive By Shoutings. (Encountered this one shortly after college. I think it was from a Ron James routine.)
