Collaborative band name exchange

When you're tempted to borrow the Dave Barry trope of adding "And, by the way, that would make an excellent name for a band," you can share the name at NowFormABand, a site created by Aanand Prasad. Recent names include: Foxy Morons, Clot, CornSquat and Eat More Chemicals.

None of the names I saw match the pure, godawful ridiculousness of my band's name in high school: Wheel and the Spokesmen. Even today I can play a truly awful rendition of "This Diamond Ring"...

"Wheel and the Spokesmen" - wow. Or, rather, yow.

But, now you've got to add this fact to your bio, e.g.:

He's been a frequent commentator on National Public Radio's All Things Considered. He's a spun out former member of "Wheel and the Spokesmen". . .

Actually, someone should just start a site for collecting punny ways of describing your membership in that band ;-)
