When you really think about it, band names are pretty weird. Yeah, maybe the Beatles became the biggest cultural game changer since baby Jesus, but in the beginning, they were just four kids who named their little rocker gang with a pretty stupid pun. Many great acts in music history have truly awful names. I still laugh when I recall that Pearl Jam isn’t only one of the worst band names of all time; they actually changed their band’s name from Mookie Blaylock to Pearl Jam, as if that were an improvement.

Some music icons were originally known by another, often worse, handle. R.E.M. were going to call themselves Cans of Piss. The Supremes first played under the moniker the Primettes, a nod to the Temptations, with whom they often shared the stage and were themselves initially called the Primes. Even worse? Destiny’s Child used to call themselves Girls Tyme, for fuck’s sake. Hot tip: Don’t let your parents name your band.

The important thing to remember is that many of these bands came to realize that their name didn’t reflect them. Burlington indie rockers Guy Ferrari found themselves in that very circumstance. After a few years of gigging hard around New England, the post-punk-leaning band decided that a pun on a meme-worthy celebrity chef and a famous sports car maybe didn’t represent its music.
