What are some band names that dont sound anything like the music they play? I'll start with Soundgarden. Sounds like some hippie folk rock type band, but the music is sludgy grunge rock.

I'm not really sure what kind of music I would have expected out of a group called Jimmie's Chicken Shack, but I am not sure that I expected this:

The Grateful Dead. I thought they were a satanic rock band, when I was a kid, like Kiss. (Yes, I thought Kiss was satanic.)

Aesop Rock I would imagine to be some sort of indie rock band, but is a rapper. Anamanaguchi I was thinking would be some sort of J-Pop band, but is instead a chiptune punk band. Daft Punk might have been a *punk* band, but is instead a french techno band.

Bigelf sounds like the name of a folk/prog band that sings about fairies and dragons... but their sound is more like Black Sabbath with a Hammond organ...
(and yes, I was looking for an excuse to post this video...)

The Blackout have a really good lighting rig
Strapping Young Lad looked like a bunch of trolls
It took 3 hours to get a bottle of water at an Oasis gig.

There are more than 2 people in Coheed & Cambria I use to see shows where they were the opening act and thought they were two bands. Didn't Jimmie's Chicken Shack have a song on a movie or something. I know I have heard that name before |

The Futureheads sounds like some techno group, when they really aren't.

Band of Horses =/= Horse The Band
In fact, Horse The Band > Band of Horses.

Barenaked Ladies are neither barenaked, nor are they ladies. Duran Duran was neither a Duran nor a Duran.  Discuss. |

Deathmole from Questionable Content does this to humorous effect, since it's nothing like the name.
Mountain Goats, I guess, though I don't really know what that bandname would imply it sounded like. I love them, though.
I guess Modest Mouse, since the band name makes them sound like some 80s Adam Ant sort of thing.

Five For Fighting is, shockingly, in reality only ONE GUY.
Also, despite being named for a hockey penalty, his music is INCREDIBLY WUSSY.
