I thought of the band name MENTAL PROLAPSE the other day, but I found out there was already a band by the same name.

maybe I'll use it for a collection of stories somewhere down the line

Mexican Death Cult - More intellectual than for shock value (there really are such things).

Sea is Violet - Song reference.

Nude Descending a Staircase - Oh, come on, it had to happen eventually...

Crowd Control - Would have to be in the vein of Throbbing Gristle, though, or a pop band...

Remnants of Burnt Icons - Well...

Re: If I Had a Band, I'd Name It...
 

I can see the headline for a Crowd Control article now:

"Crowd Control Unable to Keep Control of Crowd"

and all the various permutations of that headline

Re: If I Had a Band, I'd Name It...
 

You know, I've always had the depraved idea that if I led a band, if the crowd got too rowdy, I'd lock them in the venue and play a lengthy version of "Discipline" until they were either quiet or nearly destroyed something....

Re: If I Had a Band, I'd Name It...
 

Wouldn't work -- they'd only start inta screamin' for "21st Century Schizoid Man"!

Re: If I Had a Band, I'd Name It...
 

"Mental Prolapse"... at first, I read that as "Metal Prolapse" and thought it might be the Bizarro World version of the Folk Implosion....

Re: If I Had a Band, I'd Name It...
 

Why not oblige them... then segue straight into "L.A. Blues" *winks, smiles evilly*.

Re: If I Had a Band, I'd Name It...
 

I already have a band, Woof and the Warped. I like to think of our specialty as a latter day grunge or dark garage rock. When things are right and the band is tight, we actually verge on something which might be considered as dark ambient parking ramp - psychedelia sprinkled with polka, flamenco, and other ethnic flavors.

Lately, the band's welfare concerns me. We are currently saddled with a vocalist in the vein of David Lee Roth or Billy Idol. This hot dog can't seem to get the words right, no matter how hard he tries. And many inhuman sounds often carry his work along, if you know what I mean. I am gravely worried about our drummer's future. He is a profoundly talented soul who has recently been dabbling way too much with dogbane, nachtschatten, and absinthe. Potent ingredients in a recipe for disaster, I assure you. The days of Woof and the Warped are certainly numbered, therefore...

If I had a new band, I'd name it The Caniculans.

Hey, what's up with this news?

It sounds like a rock 'n' roll riff on "The Nine Billion Names of God" by Arthur C. Clarke. When The Stars Wink Out is probably already taken. I'd bet everything that there is a secret room full of monkeys somewhere constantly typing out Shakespeare, too...
