Lord Byron and the Rakes
Lord Byron and the Beauties (all the other band members are women in pseudo-goth-lolita dress)
Lord Byron and the Carbonaris

"the Rakes"! Of course. Far superior to "the Wastrels".

I knew there was a brilliant name somewhere. Danke.

Lord Byron and the Cliff Notes?

Sluggard! Off to the other wastrels with you!

Actually, "Tolstoy and the Cliff Notes" would work very well.

As would "Melville".

I revise my earlier revilement.

How did I miss that this was a pun?

I have no suggestions as my mind boggles at the pretentious art-rock that such a band would produce.

No doubt they would do everything in a pseudo-ironic context, thus insulating themselves from criticism while becoming even more insufferable.

Lord Byron and the other English Poets who are heroes in Greek Revolutions

Seriously, I heard they have like lots of status of him there.

What else...

Lord Byron and the Monarchs

Lord Byron and the Green Fairies

The mental image provoked by the last suggestion - a man with long hair, a blousy shirt, and black leather pants, with various girls in green spandex, face paint, and fairy wings flitting around him as he delivers melodramatic spoken word pieces - has made my day.

Very much Art. And serious.

Your first suggestion baffles me; I both fear and desire a world in which it is true and will therefore avoid attempting to confirm it.
