I’ve played this game on other boards. Make some new band names by combining the names of existing bands or musicians that have a word or a couple syllables in common. Examples:
The Grateful Dead Kennedys
Clap Hands Say Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Kool & The Gang of Four
Matisyahu Mouse
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and the Young Fresh Fellows
They mainly have to be fun to say, but you get extra points if you can meld three or more band names:
Steely Dan le Sac Vs The Scroobius Pipettes
(I once melded four, but I’ll save that.)
Now go!

I am awful at this. There is some avenue of abstract thinking in my brain that just doesn't connect.
Oh, but I always wanted to start a band called Otto vonBizmarkie, but it never got off the ground. Not two bands, but amusing nonetheless!

I like that, LilHan. And the portmanteau is in the middle, which is different. You've inspired me:
The Bird And The Killers Bees

Are there band names that abut without overlapping?
Yes, No Doubt.
