Band (or banned) names

Driving home from singing tonight with the Stranglers* on the CD, my passenger remarked what good names some bands have. This led to a mention of the Killers, and speculation on whether there is a band called the Murderers. At which point I observed that there are never bands called things like the Parking Infringers, or the Tax Evaders. Anyone know if there's a band called the Jaywalkers? There's something about minor offences that just doesn't have the same cachet. Although a band called the Minor Offences does actually sound quite possible...

Back on Freecycle, I note that one desperate offerer has sunk to offering 'yet more stuff' and 'even more stuff'. At least it's an honest description.

*I don't mean that I was singing with the Stranglers, I mean I went singing and then listened to the Stranglers afterwards. Although I'd be perfectly happy to sing with the Stranglers, should they invite me.
