The Raconteurs-Consolers of the Lonely

The Raconteurs are known as the The Saboteurs in Australia because of some licensing issue. I wonder if there are any other bands with different names in different countries. My web search turned up nothing except the AV clubs list of worst band names of 2007. Here are some of my favorites for the list

Lesbian Pudding (actually not sure if that is two bands or one, but I am going to assume one)
Slut Barf
Clown Vomit
Vomit Bomb
Best Fwends
Wookie Hangover
Count Dracula's Weed Smuggling Jam Engine
The Dead Kenny Gs
Jews And Mexicans
Butt Stomach

Anyhow that is a few band names. I guess naming a band is difficult.

The Raconteurs album was pretty good. I enjoyed their last album but found it a little to beatlesque. This one seems to solve that problem. I must admit I was slightly distracted while listening and have plans to listen again later. 7.5 out 9 for now.
