^ Egocentric Team Naming says it doesn't include "X and the Ys" names unless Y is very strongly related to X which is not the case here.

Quoth the rest of that line:

"unless Y is very strongly related to X which would be Face Of The Band"

A band named "Bob and the Pirates" led by Bob would be, a group of pirates and Bob would not be.

A non-band example would be the myth commonly known as Jason and the Argonauts- Jason being The Leader, and the Argonauts his Badass Crew. Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves would not be, because Ali Baba is not associated with the Forty Thieves in-story, he is the guy that found their loot and they are now trying to kill.
