Band names

I am now planning again. It’s been a while and apart from the early starts and having to purchase a weeks supply of collared shirts, it’s been a fairly smooth transition.

I think i know a really effective way for post-modern bands to come up with their names and track titles. All you do get a job somewhere new, preferably a fairly bureaucratic organisation, like where i am working, but anywhere will do, and great ideas just start popping out from everywhere.

Here are my two favorites so far: “Land Use Polygon” and “Data Closet”.

    Hey Braddles, was wondering just WHAT you were planning, but now see that your plan to plan has gone acording to plan. Good band names. What kind of data do you think comes out of the closet? Applying the job/band name theory I am thinking of starting up a flashy ensemble called The New Lynn Rail Box Success. We will play a few amped up sets, followed by a brief break, then will be joined by several members from Significant Hazards who are well known for their synchronised bowed zither performances. Should be a rockin gig.

    I always thought a good band name would be “Hot Muck” – their debut album would probably be called something like “Round and Round the Aptitude”.

    Another is “Grand Escape” and their new single “My Prison Honey”

    What about “Dead Leg Friday” self titled first album.

    Jules – really like the sound of “the gamut” – what genre do you reckon?

  8. 8 jules stokes

    The Gamut basically means a range of colours so perhaps the group could belong to a whole range of genre? maybe it would be a good name for a nice little rock-skank-blues-classical-trance-country outfit.

    Yes… i think you’ve got it. Now for the threads: I s’pose each one of them could dress in a different genre outfit
