I think some people have gone too leftfield in this thread and have gone astray from the criteria i put forth.

It doesnt matter if John Denver is not from Denver, you choose a band name, you dont choose your surname.
If a band is called Egg, the band doesnt have to consist of non mammals.
Buildings and landmarks dont count (like colosseum).  Im sure Eifel 65 didnt live in the Eifel tower of France. 

Only continents, country names and town names count.

Dukes of the Orient include former members of Asia, but alas I don't believe any of them are from the Orient.

French TV is as American as Apple Pie and Chevrolet.   And for that matter Apple Pie is from Russia. LOL

Alaska is from Pennsylvania.  And there is an AOR band also called Alaska that is from the UK.

The Louisville Symphony Orchestra has many members not from Louisville, likewise the New York Metropolitan Opera has many members from outside New York City.
The SF Jazz Collective has many members not from San Francisco and no one in the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra is from Lincoln Center.

Members of the band Oregon met in 1970 in Oregon--at the University of Oregon. Two of the members were actually from Oregon and, thus, Oregonians. Like their music, they are very unoriginal thinkers.
Øresund Space Collective tried to come up with a band name that would express their effort to form a bridge between members from different nations. 
Members of Orphaned Land aren't quite sure where they're from.
Members of Our Solar System are quite certain where they come from.
Cosmic Corn Cob & His Amazing Ozark Mountain Daredevils were from Springfield, Missouri, very near to Ozark, MO, the Ozark chain of lakes, and the Ozark Mountains.

 From Völklingen, the members of the band Neuschwanstein chose to name their collective musical effort after an expensive castle made by a 19th Century regional king in central Europe. The band members probably romanticized about the romantic Romantic Era's art, music, and architecture by gravitating to the creation of symphonic prog of the Genesis-ELP nature.
No Man's Land are very careful to tip-tow around wherever they are, wherever they're from.  
North Sea Radio Orchestra have a very interesting yet unstable aqueous base.

Magyar Posse have no connections to Hungary.
Chip Davis is not from Mannheim. (Nor does he own a steamroller.)
Midlake don't really know where Midlake is; three of the band members think that it's a clever acronym using letters form the band members' names.

After all this I feel I can mention that Ostzonensuppenwürfelmachenkrebs are not actually from the Soviet Zone or Eastern Germany (GDR), Ostzone in German (slightly derogatorily), but from Hamburg. The band name doesn't suggest otherwise anyway, it says "stock cubes from the Ostzone cause cancer" (which surely they wouldn't have said had they actually lived there).

L'Estate Di San Martino is a real place. The members of L'Estate Di San Martino really do come from L'Estate Di San Martino.
The Left Banke were neither French or bankers.
Loonypark is neither a real place nor is it a place you'd want to go. (Probably.)
The Lost World Band does, in fact, return to their 1992 homeland between the release of their albums.
Contrary to popular demand, Lunar Dunes is not from the Moon.

The members of Katatonia are actually fully-conscious.
The members of The Kentish Spires are all very tall people.
When Ken Ayers was holding auditions for his Whole World band, they were open to anyone … in the whole, wide world.
The Knight Area is rather vast--but also rather exclusive and anachronistic.

Jackie DeShannon was not even of Irish decent.
Jardín de la Croix guitarist Pablo Rodrigues' mother has a cross-shaped aisleway in her garden.
JazzComputer.org is an actual address for one of Yves Potin's websites.
