All-time favorite fake band name.

[Beware the Beast Man]

It can't be one that you came up with yourself, but something you may have seen in a movie, story or otherwise.

I'm partial to the Dead Taybacks, based in Columbus, OH, as covered by the Onion:

They were also featured in the artical "Area Bassist Fellated," but I can't find the link.
