The Gandiseegs though they may be a backing band.
What I mean by that is I've forgotten who declared it.

Richard Britain, although he’s not someone you’d invite to join a band.

Laughed my head off at this. Presumably, the lead singer always starts singing before the instrumentalists are ready to start playing the intro to any song.

Love the puns on existing band names in this thread but I don't think that was necessarily the theme of the original post.

Just over 10 years ago, ,this game gave the first of these:

The Shrilling Johnsons
Shilty and the Sherpas
Goat Attack
Not Written Down
Origin of Words
The Teatime Teasers
Aepyornis
Speed 15
Hyper Nasty
Unlimited Blitz
Daily Duel
Pro Ranks

I like Goat Attack, especially if the aptoband in question takes a dark turn. Also, The Four Larges was a good shout. That'd be an Apterous Motown group.
