Turns out there is a West Country Christian folk band called Why?
A friend got VERY excited the other day when he saw I had a spare Why? ticket. After much confusion it turned out we were talking at crossed purposes...
Any other examples?

British boyband 5ive
vs.
Instrumental metal outfit 5ive.
When I used to read Kerrang I found that hilarious
Didn't 5ive change their name to Five's Continuum Research Project?
That was weird. Lucky the boy band pissed off really.
The Charlatans
were an influential psychedelic rock band that played a pivotal role in the development of the San Francisco music scene in the 1960s. More akin to earlier jug band and blues influences than the later heavy psychedelia from the same scene, the Charlatans set the stage with their rebellious attitude and appearance. Their recorded output was small, and their first nationally distributed album (The Charlatans) was not released until 1969 (see 1969 in music), long after the band's heyday. This band was the first commercial appearance of Dan Hicks, later of Hot Licks fame
5ive
.
just felt like typing it out
again.
A bit obvious,
but The Field, Fields, and Field Music.
and Fieldy
theres 2 bands called fields
there was some psychedelic one in the 70s
At the end of the 90s
there was a lot of talk in music circles about the possibilities of cyber-pop stars - not in the Gorillaz sense, but entirely computer generated models that would never age and you could do exciting virtual reality things with etc. Some big name labels and managers were behind various schemes, but none of them came to anything.
One of the main contenders being discussed was a rapping robot voiced by Ricardo Da Force, who was on all the KLF singles, which would have been called Sonic Boom.
a rapping ROBOT is on the klf singles??
wow. how did / does this robot manifest himself?
Nothing that exciting
I meant Ricardo Da Force was the rapper on the KLF records.
"we came a long time ago
992 but you did not know
So if you think that the going gets tough
Just remember...WHAT TIME IS LOOOOOOOVE!"
my mates band
were forced to change their name from The Deadbeats to Ten Bears when they were sent a legal letter from some Scandinavian thrash metal band.
The Grateful Dead tribute band in the US never bothered though. They were probably too stoned to go to the solicitor's.
Battles, Battle, The Battles
And they all emerged pretty much at the same time as well.
they should have, y'know
some kind of large scale brawl... a big fight... to sort this all out.
you mean a ruckus?
or a rumble?
Beulah
Elephant 6 band / piano stlye songstress
I just about shat my pants in excitement when I saw Beulah was going to be playing at Bush Hall. I emailed the band to check if it was for real...I think they got in touch with their lawyers. Haven't heard much from songstress Beulah since.
Quite often on last.fm

The Pharcyde and Farside
90s hip hop vs 90s melodic hardcore

No
Farside, American band on Revelation. Fireside, I think, were Swedish.
So, Pharcyde, Farside and Fireside.

The Japanese band Earth,
sound nothing like the American band Earth.
oh that reminds me!
Boris, there is a Dutch (I think he's Dutch anyway) singer who plays here a lot. If I could have a dollar for the amount of times I've seen people going to a Boris gig on Last.FM, who definitely don't look like fans of him, I'd be a rich man.
I did actually contact one guy about it because he was from the Ukraine or somewhere similar.

And I believe there is/was another Rolo Tomassi, bus spelt with 2 L's.
In fact there was, http://tinyurl.com/6gjzdq
a nice long list
There's quite a lot listed here:
http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/NotDuplicateArtists
I was sure there'd be an equivalent list on wikipedia, but I can't find one.
This tag could probably be used more often: http://www.last.fm/tag/two+bands+with+the+same+name
