Subject: RE: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Jim Lad Date: 21 Feb 07 - 01:31 AM "Free Beer" "Happy Hour" "Two for One Night" All guaranteed to fill a pub. Still, "The Bare Naked Ladies" took the best name and probably for the same reason. |

Subject: RE: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Scoville Date: 20 Feb 07 - 09:26 PM Old-time bands: The Black Hairy Possums (Get it? "Blackberry Blossom") Talking Fiddleheads Random Acts of Violins and I once got stuck in a pick-up band that named itself, thankfully only for one night, "The Cheese Stands Alone" in honor of the Farmer in the Dell rhyme. I once borrowed an old-time album from a friend that was entitled "We Might as Well be Dead", which I thought was pretty clever. |

Subject: RE: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Jim Dixon Date: 20 Feb 07 - 07:47 PM Once there was a promotional contest going on for a certain brand of pop/soda. If you found a certain message printed inside the cap, you won a prize. I unscrewed a cap and read "Play Again Soon." I thought, "Hey, that would make a great title for an album!" |

Subject: RE: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Alec Date: 20 Feb 07 - 03:29 PM "Parasitic twin" would be a good name for most "tribute" bands irrespective of whom they are supposed to be a "tribute" to.:0) |

Subject: RE: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Gizmo Date: 20 Feb 07 - 03:19 PM When I was at a music course a couple of years ago, there was a program on telly which gave the idea to a couple of us a great name for a band.... "Parasitic twin" We couldn't decide what sort of band this would be though. An alternative name for Smashing Pumpkins could be Squishing Melons. |

Subject: RE: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Bee Date: 20 Feb 07 - 11:53 AM Years ago, a friend and I invented an imaginary serious folk-rock band called Heavy *Timothy. We figured some of their albums could be named 'Thick Stubble''Frogs in the Field', 'Haying Time', etc. When the band broke up, the imaginary lead singer formed a new band: 'Heavy Timothy and the Balers'. *For urban types: Timothy is usually the tallest and most common grass species growing in a hayfield. It leaves a sharp thick stubble when mown that's very hard on bare feet. |

Subject: RE: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Alec Date: 20 Feb 07 - 11:37 AM I do remember the DeadEnders storyline in which Sharon et al formed a band (The Horror,The Horror) but I don't remember what they called it. "The Banned" sounds horribly plausible though. |

Subject: RE: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 20 Feb 07 - 11:22 AM Didn't 'Eastenders' have a band called 'The Banned' in it a few decades ago? LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Alec Date: 20 Feb 07 - 09:47 AM Paradoxically,I have always thought The Band is a boringly unimaginative name for a band. |

Subject: RE: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Scrump Date: 20 Feb 07 - 09:39 AM I think The Rolling Stones is a good name for a band. ...huh? ... really?... ah... maybe I'll have to think of another name then. :D |

Subject: RE: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Hawker Date: 20 Feb 07 - 08:46 AM There is a band down here or at leats there was, called Walter Shortage and the Hosepipe Band! I did like that one. One of the groups I play with are called Tisdag - norwegian I believe for Tuesday, but for us, it is an anagram of sad git! Regal slip is pils lager backwards! Cheers, Lucy |

Subject: RE: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Trevor Date: 20 Feb 07 - 08:18 AM For years I've thought that a road sign on the way from Shrewsbury to Oswestry ought to be a bluegrass duo - Wilcote Butler and Felton Marsh. Either that or they are the baddies in some melodrama. |

Subject: RE: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Jeremiah McCaw Date: 20 Feb 07 - 07:19 AM Because much of my performing is at folk clubs & open mics, and I sort of acquire impromptu accompanists, I refer to them as my "Band du Jour". One friend & I, of similar 'rounded' body shapes have discussed the formation of a duo to be called "Rotunda". Best one I've heard lately was on the CBC, a group with the wonderful name "Max Galactic & the Cloud of Evil" |

Subject: RE: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Rowan Date: 19 Feb 07 - 07:40 PM My recollection is the first widely known all-woman rock band in Oz was called "Hens' Teeth" while a better known but similarly constituted band started later and was called "The Ovarian Sisters". Both great names I reckon. Cheers, Rowan |

Subject: RE: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 19 Feb 07 - 07:07 PM I still reckon the best one is a road sign that used to be on the A303 near Salisbury... Anna Valley and the Clatfords. I see them as a sort of bluesy, folksy, bluegrassy kind of jug band with a couple of banjos and a mule. The mule is for tuning the banjos. LTS |

Subject: BS: That's a good name for a band...... From: Wesley S Date: 19 Feb 07 - 05:48 PM Often I'll be listening to the news and I'll hear a phrase and say to myself "That's a good name for a band". The one I just heard was about the tainted peanut butter that was recalled. The headling mentioned: "The Peanut Butter Probe" It sounds uncomfortable doesn't it? And yes I'm guessing that this thread might easily take us to places that deserve to be in the BS section. But if someone thinks this belongs above the line - so be it. Also: "Bipolar Wife", and "Fictional Presidents" |
