Band Names you have on hand, just in case.....

[peacocks]

got some new ones:

esho funi
and
was that an oboe?

[JamesSchneider]

Iver Iverson and the Architects

Demonic Ebonics (For my satanic rap side project)

Also, John, if you read this, would you be strongly against me using either Satan's Fingers or The Hospital Bunks as a band name? Wouldn't want to try and end up with an angry Cease and Desist letter from NC.


Edit: Shit, just realized that someone else already mentioned these.

Gunts and Cankles - If I were in a sleazy hair metal band
Etched in Stone - I don't know, just like it
Mangina Mayhem - fucking funny name we jokingly came up with for an all male sleaze band

[SPACERACE]

I am now a member of a Viking grindcore band called "the Bastards of Valhalla". I am the humble vocalist.

I have also done vocals for a death metal band called "Cage Full of Poo", a punk group called "Donald Rumsfeld and the Secretaries of Defense", and am currently half of an experimental music (bordering on noise) project called "the Majestic Mango," which kicks ass and I'm very proud of. I also remix porn to make noise for "the Demise of the Cuties and the Yo-Yos".

[elpollodiablo]

My Magnetic Fields cover band will be the Flushing Meadows...

In the midst of a conversation about !!!, how much they suck, and how much their suckiness is advanced by the needless pretense of their name, my friend hit upon the title for his next project:

"    "

Get it? So you can make those maddening little finger gestures every time? Fuckin' 'orrible.

That could be the best or the worst thing I've ever heard.

[TheNames]

Used Jet Trash will be playing their first show in 45 minutes.  Name is now officially off limits (as if the threats weren't enough).

[SPACERACE]

Ok, I'm officially calling Wax Motherfuckers in case I ever get ahold of the facilities to produce hip-hop beats.

My first album will be called Organic Beef.

(Also, these are the sweet logos for the Majestic Mango and Demise. The latter is by Julia. She's really better at the whole graphic design thing than I am.

[Bernard]

I'm predisposed to geological band names. A geological glossary is veritable goldmine (rimshot) of names:

Alluvium
Angle of Repose
Aquifer
Batholith
C-Horizon
Daughter Product
Elastic Rebound Theory
Flume
Heat Engine

and so forth. I don't know if I'm ready to rock as hard as I'd have to in order to live up to a name like Batholith. I can only make one mano cornuda while strumming, after all.

[JamesSchneider]

Ok, round two

The Mooses
Satan's Moustache

[elpollodiablo]

I was informed today that my roommate has changed the name of his solo project from "  " to "( )".

Still including quotes? Because if so, it's a bit cumbersome, bordering on complex sign language.


And Bernard: there already is a artist called Eluvium. A fucking awesome artist, at that. He's on Temporary Residence, look him up. His first and second albums are ambient and minimalist neo-classical solo piano (in the vein of Erik Satie), respectively.

[W. Earl Piglet]

Tween Mutilation Barn

[andronicus]

The Lollard Heresy

In general, I want heresy to be the new conspiracy.

[hannah]

Shit, this is like a blast from a past I can never know, unless, of course, I read the entire LPTJ/forums archives. Which ain't gonna happen. I'll just search things that are vaguely related to me ("hannah," "Yale," "Hoboken," "knock knock jokes"), and see what comes up. Anyway, I have named two bands in my day, yessir: (1) The Art Sorority For Girls and (2) The Spectacles. Both fronted by then-boyfriend/now-friend.

[andronicus]

I just wanted to talk about that as a band name, but I figured there'd already been a thread, so I did a search.  Sho 'nuff.

[RoyBiggins]

I think I'm playing my next show as either "Precious Roy" or "The Precious Roy School for Boys"

[hannah]

In general, I want heresy to be the new conspiracy.

Just like shark is the new wolf?

Shark Heresy!

[andronicus]

YES.

But also, why all bands don't get their names from religious history is beyond me.  

Examples:
God Speed the Plough
A Syllabus of Errors
The Placards of Abjuration
Zwingli Youth
The Defenestration of Prague

[RoyBiggins]

Oh, I've been to prague

[heather marie]

I think I'm playing my next show as either "Precious Roy" or "The Precious Roy School for Boys"

Latter. And then when you're a rockstar, you can make shirts with "The Precious Roy School for Boys" on the front, with Heathcote's picture, and the back will say: "I'm not really a pedophile, I just play one on the internet." I mean, I'd buy one.

[Andrew_TSKS]

Oh, I've been to prague

ok, one more time... what's this mean?

[hannah]

Band names inspired by that suspect Chinese restaurant Brian's always yammerin' about:

+Chicken on Styx (a Styx cover band)
+Stuffed Spudz and the Tatar Tots (a Papas Fritas cover band)
+Hot Butter Crab (they're hot, but they'll totally give you hot butter pubic lice)
+House (Rock and) Roll
+Pizza (fronted by acne'd teens)
+Home Town Vegetable (the ultimate local band)

[Greg Nog]

Oh, I've been to prague

ok, one more time... what's this mean?

It's from a movie called "Kicking and Screaming".  Not the Will Farrell one that just came out.  The one from about ten years ago.  You should see it.

At the beginning of the film, two characters are talking, and one talks about wanting to go to Prague.  The other one derisively snorts, "Oh, I've been to prague."  But he has not, in fact, been to Prague; inexplicably, he has suddenly decided to use "Prague" as a metaphor for a way of life.  But in the context of the conversation, it's funny.  Trust us.

Go see Kicking and Screaming.

[RoyBiggins]

+Dude, seriously, I'm never going there again.

Edit: The chinese restaurant, not Prague.  And thanks Greg.  And, yes, andrew attempt to find a copy of Kicking and Screaming in your town.
