That would work best if all the members of the band were red-headed, pasty Paul Scholes lookalikes.

.... always thought that would make a great band name. Probably be landfill indie though

.... always thought that would make a great band name. Probably be landfill indie though

a wordless, unpronouncable name, but one that might fool the public into thinking we were good.

Just two of my favourite words...

....we'd leave them wanting less....

what I'd call the band, but I like the idea of releasing The Eponymous First Album and The Difficult Second Album under those titles.

Was my favourite name. But I was over-ruled and our college band was called The Unhugged Teddies.

Derek The Frog was much better.

My favourite word.

... probably a Goth Combo.

Ted Maul, it would have to be 'zaina bedawi's two headed sex beast'. We'd be a folk duo

I once auditioned for a band called "Open Your Eyes!" .

I knocked them back.

Has there ever been a more preachy, self righteous band name in the history of music? Would "You Are All Twats" have been better?

Of course it would only work if you were at the bottom of the bill.....

Heavy Machinery

the album title possibilities are endless;

Do Not Operate....Overdose....Take as Necessary...Sedation...Recommended Dosage...

There was a game going around for a while on the net where people made up band names by using the random article feature on Wikipedia, album titles sourced by using stuff from http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 and album art by going to the new uploads page on flickr and using whatever the third picture on the page is.

Think it was first used on Kenny Everett's radio show, and it always made me grin...

Played the game of opening a book at random and picking words randomly - used the works of Shakespeare and immediately got "Bastard Edmund". Now that it going to be a hard rocking band.
We ended up as Elephant Thursday...
I wanted LBW after our initials, but was informed that a cricket based band would never fly - so tell that to the Duckworth Lewis Method.

My dream Prog metal calypso fusion combo.

I seem to be unable to do any voting at all on this thread now. Bang to rights for my well intentioned gerrymandering it would seem.

my fantasy band was going to be called Lava Amp. I still think it's a brilliant name.

i'm thinking of a japie version of the Duckworth Lewis Method. Hansie & the Cronje's?

...my electo-glam 12-piece - Tomorrows Nuns. We have a very colourful stage show that hopefully goes some way towards eclipsing the awfulness of our music. My costume consists of a leather corset, fishnet stockings, and the chastity belt that I purchased from a bespoke manufacturer of such devices in Kansas, and which now sports the biggest dildo that I could lay my hands on, grafted onto the crotch.

Barehanded Weeder was my attempt at writing folksy, finger-picked guitar music with lyrics rooted in a strong sense of place and seasonality.

In a similar vein is my band The Festive Thorns. We assemble every year on the first of December and play a series of small gigs around the country before dispersing sometime after Christmas. Occasionally we release EPs, although because we all have jobs and families, and the festive period is quit hectic, it does take two to three years for us to write and record new material.

Last year I uncovered a wormhole in space-time leading back to the 1982. My first instinct following this discovery was to travel back in time and form an eighties Prog group called Nylon Moon. With our debut LP, I wanted to make something that wouldn’t age well; something that would, one day, provoke our small but fiercely loyal fanbase to mobilize online, and raise a sum of money that would enable us to reform and re-record the album using modern production techniques.

Meanwhile in a parallel universe where it is still 1987, my Tacoma-dwelling double has formed Wussy Trout - a guitar and drums combo - with some guy called Greg. The band will later find themselves on the verge of notoriety after they are invited to appear on the legendary Sub-Pop 200 compilation. Unfortunately an off-colour remark made within earshot of label-boss Bruce Pavitt will result in The Trout’s last minute replacement by Cat Butt. The apex of Wussy Trout’s molehill of fame will come in the form of a support slot for Tad.

After a pre-Python era Footlights review.

I'd leave it to the headline writers to decide whether to go with 'Clump gathers Mercury prize nomination' or 'Plinths to support Stones'.

I like tea. This is sort of a variant idea of that. Like legwarmers but for cups of tea.

I'd patent it if they hadn't already invented thermos mugs.

Better to have it as a band name I think.

If it was an all-female punk band: Snatch Squad

If we were all white men: Black Chick

One I actually thought of using but found that someone had beaten me to it: The Silver Darlings

Another one that I was beaten to: The Trenchermen

Two that I use (by "use" I mean have My Space pages for, but no actual recorded music yet): The Warm Grass (folky) and Oswald & Ghosts (post-rock/electronic).

'cos I like how it sounds.

With the song "Controlled Practice" where the chorus goes "what would you do if you...?"

Prada Meinhoff

"Poached Salmon in a White Wine Sauce"

inspired by the Monty Python's Rock Notes sketch in the Contractual Obligation album.

Hell in Shapiro

my mate called his group 'The Funking Baxters' to confuse concert chairman's announcements in the N.E. I 'borrowed' it for a one-off group I formed at college. Also 'The Heels' I found good

I worked in San Francisco with a guy who cherished the name Turbo Rumpus for his imaginary band. I've never heard a better name since.

, there was a band in OZ in the late 70s early 80s called just that.
It was pronounced Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk. (As you can guess they were utterly pretentious arseholes.)

the name is pronounced click click click, a refrence to the Gods Must be Crazy. They were also pretencious assholes.

From a band name generator, which also gave me
"Quattro Stepfather and the Blended"

Still laughing!

We would have been a great late-70's sleazy New York scene art punk band often seen supporting Wayne County, Dead Boys or Suicide at CBGBs and Max's Kansas City.

in the past i have encountered some silly band names:
performing ferret band
wobble fish
and - psychic breadvan

to name but three.

me, i'd want to be in a band Plus Support.
at least everyone would have been to one of our gigs.

Doctor Teeth & The Electric Mayhem is taken, how about...

The Singularity

The Uploaded

The Producers (shamelessly stolen from the movie)

F Troop (ditto, tv series .. young people, ask your dads)

/stops

and hutch

gets coat how about that ? gets coat yes I like the sound of that

was one I liked as a teenager.

I thought 'Awesome Gels' would be a good name for an all-female band.

I'm sure in the mid 70s, Peter Hammerton (session player) told me he was in a band called 'Foot - A living Leg-end'.

I didn't mention the first band I was in (aged 13) were the incredibly awful Stone Dippie.

Stone Dippie, do you see what I did there?

Unsurprisingly we split after one rehearsal. Me on keyboard, Rob on classical guitar, Josh on rhythm. Oh yes. We were hot. Reunion tour and live album a possibility?

Four piece indie-band-with-a-synth, shamelessly regurgitating the past 25 years of recorded music & possessing the absolute gall to record more of the stuff and put it out on compact disc...

Self explanatory really.

our first single is going to be called "In The Third Person". Anyone fancy writing it for me?

I'd call my band Squirrels, just so I could call the album "May Contain Nuts".

Ba-doom. Tish.

Mainly because it's quite difficult to say.
