Topic: What would you call your band?

If you were to form a band what would you call it and why?

My band

Cillit and the Bangs - After the all pervading advert on UK TV
or
The Sweet Gene Vincents - After the Ian Dury & the Blockheads song about Gene Vincent
or
The Offside Rule - Because no everyone will understand it.
or
The Geometric Joints - Because it's Hip to be square.

What's yours called?

Re: What would you call your band?

Hi David

My brother was in a band way back when... Arthur and his Floating Spoons.  My son has a friend in a local band... Buried by Grace which I quite like (the name, not the band lol).  Mine would be called... The Post It Notes!

Re: What would you call your band?

I was in a praise band we called "They Joyful Noisemakers."  Before that was not a real band but just a few guys that would jamm every now and then.  We called it "Penny's Troubadours" after the groundhog who acted as music critic for me once upon a time.

Oh and there's a cover band that plays around Penn State called Velveeta (but they're just a cheesy little cover band).

Re: What would you call your band?

We had two rules when coming up with a name.

No verbs.

No "The <something>"

Someday we'll win this thing...

Re: What would you call your band?

Jerome, I taught " 2 RULES: no "THE" something, and no verbs? At first I was convinced that you were against these rules, here.
But what I like is the band name: "THE SOMETHING"
