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. I don't know, whenever I hear Modest Mouse, I get the image of Mighty Mouse's shy brother or something.

That would be a funny album cover.

I can't say the whole name because of board rules, but Nashville P[CENSORED] were not from Nashville.

For For Fighting is, shockingly, in reality only ONE GUY. Also, despite being named for a hockey penalty, his music is INCREDIBLY WUSSY. Five For Fighting....and agreed. - Iron & Wine - Sounds like it might be heavy, but is really just one guy with a beard and an acoustic guitar. - TV On The Radio - I'm still trying to figure this one out. - The Zombies - This one right here. I would have expected them to be an old-school punk band. - 1000 Homo DJ's - There were only 7 members.

Destroyer. You expect some metal or something, but it's more like indie glam rock.

Butthole Surfers. Much to my disappointment, there's no butthole surfing whatsoever with this band.

San Francisco Symphony. Most of those guys were born in China. (Not really).

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

No Steely Dan, anyone? They even made the joke in a FedEx commercial. "Steely Dan is a band, not a person"
It's more deceived by the music video, but I was surprised to find out Daft Punk was just two guys after seeing the videos to Faster Stronger Harder Better (might have that in the wrong order) and One More Time.
EDIT: I don't know if it was their biggest hit or anything, but when I think Jimmie's Chicken Shack, I'm taken back to an "Alternative" CD I got off a cereal box back in the day, and this song.

The Darkness is probably not what you'd expect.
Wolfmother sounds like a Nordic metal name, but it's not at all like that.

Did any band that ever called themselves "Free Beer" actually give out free beer?
