We’re Colorblind When it Comes to Grey
I graduated from Carnegie Mellon, and my friends and I always wanted to start a rock band called The Carnage Melons – too bad none of us can sing… ;)
As a side note, I do have a friend who sings in a band called Pavlov’s Cats – I think that’s one of my favorite band names ever.
this is something i have always wanted to use
“Weapon of Choice”
“the brittpops” i’d get some “vintage” guitars, orange amps or older JCM marshalls with a slighty overdriven sound, wear silly hats and tight pants, and offcourse aviator sunglasses, shout a lot of “oi” and become an overnight succes…...
Barnaby Higginbottom’s Traveling Emporium of Vitality.
‘Iwamoto and the Power Tools’
Reflux
@peedub…good to see ya
Da Dolla Bill Counterfeiters…..
It took us 2 years to buy the equipment but it was worth it.
“The Olde School Beer-Drinkin Robots”
I was in a band on time called From Inside My Shower. We practiced in one our guitarists, dorm bathroom. It was cool though.
I’ve been in bands called:
The Ahab Effect
Lightspeed Psychology
Fishing For…?
and
Horatio’s Persuasion
Horatio’s Persuasion and Lightspeed Psychology were my ideas.
The Awful Waffles
Large Marge and the Eighteen Wheelers
CrabApple
The Clammy Handshakes
50 Shifting Pounds
Next Stop Willoughby
Airborne AIDS
Hellweg’s Creek
There’s a little body of water between where I used to live when I was a teenager and the town I used to really enjoy going to (as we had nothing to do in my town and this larger city was the closest thing we had to an urban area). There were two bridges, both said Hellweg Creek, I added the ‘s because I think it sounds cooler. I just always thought that would be an awesome name for a band.
@WakeUp—I would listen to a band called Next Stop Willoughby even if I hated the music. A Stop at Willoughby is one of my top five Twilight Zone episodes.
More important is if you are a cute teenage band. I mean my daughters spend so much money on the Jonas Brothers and there sort.
Burnt Marshmallows
or, to borrow from a very very wise source, She Likes Cloth.
depends on the style of course, and what message you want to get across. Here are the names of some bands I’ve been in:
Gas
The Wild Cats
Subways
No Connection Necessary (I liked that one)
The Basket Case
Probably all taken though.
a friend of mine had a band called “Walnut Conspiracy” which I thought was funny. And another friend is in a band called “The Lazy Pigs” and writes songs about being lazy.
The other day I read a couple of stories which had titles that I thought would make great band names:
Ambient Sleaze
Practical Villainy
Attractive Nuisance (legal term)
or
Pacific Rimjob (i used to date a Japanese girl)
I wish Pansy Division wasnt already taken. (gay punk band)
I forgot about this question, but now that it pops up again, just yesterday, I was reading that Soundgarden was named after their favorite sculpture which made me think, if I had a band, maybe I’d name it after my favorite sculpture, Spoonbridge and Cherry.
Also @Noel_S_Leitmotiv – I remember Pansy Division, I recall they opened for Green Day on their first huge stadium tour. Kind of struck me as weird that they felt they needed to so aggressively self-identify, because a) punk fans are generally quite socially liberal and generally don’t take issue with others’ sexuality, and b) we already HAD a mostly gay punk band….⅔ of Husker Du were gay and no one gave a shit.
