Rude Buddha
The Love Gravy Project
The Clints (a 3-piece where all members were fictitiously named Clint)

When I was in college there were two local bands making the rounds with great names. One was "Barney Rubble and the C*nt Stubble" and the other was "Buster Hymen and the Cherries."
Bag of Doughnuts- A local band with mixed costumes, i.e. someone is in a KISS get up and another is in a Country get up.
