If I Had a Band, I'd Name It...
 

This was a good topic when I was with those muckheads on Utne.Music Listening... My recommendation: take an Aleve one night and have a notepad by your pillow. You'd be amazed. I'll start, natch.

I don't know if the name has ever been taken by a band...

I think I recall The Silent One getting on a roll and listing a slew of cool band names somewhere whithin the board. I know I have a list somewhere. In the meantime, I'll list some of the bands I have played in:

• TSA (The Sarcastic Assholes)
• Hunger Garden
• Ghoul Feeding
• Gut Factory

Eye Put Out

Well, I would not brag about it, and if I did I would certainly be charging. I need a Groucho Marx smiley for that one.

Damn! You beat me to it.

I always thought a funny band name would be "TBA" (To Be Announced). I can see it now... people saying "TBA? Wow, that band really gets around!"

-Presenting...Tim Bierman! - If you have more than a little knowledge of Colin Meloy's pre-Decemberists days, you'll get it.
-Anaphylactic Shock Induced by Naffin, Iotacist, or Nihilarian Exposure - Spells "asinine". Also, if the "N.I.N." initials are used in the sense of Reznor, I'm still being honest (he's a ripoff artist :rolleyes:).
-Lugubrious Dirge
-Eta-14A
-Alle In Einer Reihe - Swans reference
-17 Company Men
-Puppet Show for an Atrocity Exhibition
-The Generic Anchormen
-Certainly Not Longshoremen
-That's An Order!
-Sirvante

For some reason, I always wanted to start a band called "The Mini-Skirted Roller Skaters". No real explanation for that, but it's always made an awful lot of sense to me.

Deceptive Cadence (for the music theory geeks)
Nobody You Know
Somebody
Four letter words


one of the greatest band names I ever saw was from a local band. They were called, "Tom Foolery and the Shenanigans"
