Our Lady Of The Electric Eye. I was reading Babel's Children by Clive Barker, and that was how the main character/narrator snarkily referred to a Virgin Mary statue with a hidden camera in it (It Makes Sense in Context).

Crying Demons. Or maybe even Crying Demons Crying Demons Crying Demons, which is what the cover art makes it look like.

Drifter Magnet
Muffin Day
Porn Freak Rehab
Between The Hair And The Stare (Maybe a better name for an album)

As one of my facebook friends pointed out, Dangerous Erections (link totally work safe, by the way). Maybe they'd have a Visual Pun album cover involving, say, a bunch of crumbling skyscrapers (or just buildings that clearly have No OSHA Compliance).

Someone needs to add Chemical Messiah to the list of Trope Names For A Band. I would, but I'm not sure of the genre.

Sorry Carnivores. The actual context was a vaguely self-righteous sign at a vegan restaurant ("Sorry Carnivores We're Open").

The Megagaze - maybe there should be an added hyphen, lest people be inclined to pronounce it "Me Gaga Ze". I got it from the essay "E Unibus Pluram: Television and U.S. Fiction" by David Foster Wallace, and I think the book of his I'm currently reading (A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again) is probably going to be rife with band name material.

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test - Title of a book by Tom Wolfe (It's not his only band-worthy title either).
