Great name, now all we need is a band...

Not sure if this has been done before, but I was at the 20/20 cricket last night at Edgbaston (second mention, not showing off, just a fact..) when up on the score board flashed the words in big six foot high letters "THE TOSS".
My immediate thought wasn't "mmmmmm, Somerset decided to bat, interesting call". Instead I thought "what a great name for a band". sat there for the first few overs musing about what they would be like (a cross between Oasis and The Twang I concluded).
Anyone else got/had any similar flights of fancy?

Of course I have
For some years now I've been the imaginary guitarist in
'Automatic for the Purple', playing Prince songs in the style of REM.
Prince/REM
interesting - could you also do some REM songs in the style of Prince please. That I'd like to hear!
Been Done
Indeed
This was the imaginary opening number.
Plums
I was in a band called The Plums once which led to much mirth along the lines of "Get Your Gums Around The Plums", "Give A Big Hand To The Plums", "Plums Dropped", etc ad infinitum.
Wheels
Truck driving country rock with boogie up to 11. Like a futuristic Eagles or ZZTop with space noises
It sounds like Wings
...on a budget.
Mystery Machine
I was in a band with this name once. Our one tune was a ten minute cover of Silver Machine with the word Silver replaced with... you get the idea
Drove home last night
behind a VW minibus with "Mystery Machine" splashed across the back.
I think the driver (jock type) was lost. There was a hot chick in the passenger seat, and some scruffy dude with a huge dribbling dog in the back. The navigator (goofy girl with glasses) told me they were looking for an old fun fair.
Was there...
an irritating puppy who never bloody shut up?
Shandy Drama
A drunken tribute to Suede, had a self-titled single with lines like "she's always at it like a llama/ Ow ow what a shandy drama!"
Roi (pronounced Roy) was my 'band'...
we got as far as the album titles...
Roi
Roi II
Roi III
Untitled
Houses of the Roi
etc etc...
only one problem... we had no musical talent whatsoever.
The Pie
The summer of 1970
We had the clothes, the hair, the instruments and the sheer inabilty to play them
Me (Harmonica and 15 bob John Myers catalogue Acoustic), Mozz Daniels (Cherry Red Gibson) and Lancs(White Stratocaster) rehearsing every Saturday Afternoon at St Lukes Church Hall, Brinnington, Stockport. Now for the first time Ladies and Gentlemen give a big Word like welcome to.
DANDRUFF PIE!!!!
Strontium Bitch Collective....
A friend thought of the name 'Strontium Bitch Collective' but sadly as a couple of blokes in their 30s it was never going to work. Nor was our putative tribute band, 'Sub-Atomic Kitten.'
I'd also love to go to parties and tell people that I am the lead singer with Dusky Launderette, Apocalypse Picnic, My Clever Hat or the Happy Slappers. But I'm not.
