Well, just off of the top of my head...two bands named after mythical places:  Atlantis and Styx
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

There was a motown band called Orleans if I remember well!
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Yes it was. Here they are...

The band's drummer ( I think it's the bearded guy to the right in the picture) used to be Jerry Marotta (who later became a member of The Tony Levin Band).

Karthago, a German band from the 70s, in which Ingo Bischof (Kraan, Guru Guru) and Gerald Luciano Hartwig (Guru Guru, Embryo, Roman Bunka Band) played.

Another entry for the archive, by the way . (I could easily list 30 artists that are missing in the archives).

It is more appropriate to say that "Hatfield and the North" are named after a direction sign on the M1.

There's also:
- ASTURIAS, a region in the north of Spain
- CAI, short name of CÁDIZ, a Spanish city
- And yet to be well-known, SENOGUL, which spelled backwards gives Lugones... again a Spanish city
