Favorite band names?

[zhao]

Panacea is a great name.

so is Oval and Curve.

Neurosis really should do a tour with Therapy...

They'd need to follow it up with a package tour with their Relapse labelmates.

 

[big satan]

the phantom pregnancies

drunk horse

harry pussy

lightning bolt

unsane

 

[Tactics]

I really really really really really

liked Ultrasound. If I had a band I would've liked it to be called that.

 

[henry s]

you talkin' bout the same Ultrasound what had the 350-lb. singer named Tiny?

 

[swears]

"The Beatles" You geddit? 'Cause Ringo is bringing the awesome beats.

 

[foret]

Panacea is a great name.

so is Oval and Curve.

no! they're nasty ;p

good single syllable names are rare, both of those sound like postproduction companies or crap cars from korea

 

[john eden]

no allegedly about it

We're gonna get in our car, we're gonna go go go, gonna drive through the neighbourhood - kill someone we don't know!

Butthole Surfers
Sewer Zombies
The Cramps

Plus having a name which mutated over time - MDC/SPK/Foetus...

and al the Discharge bands which are Dis... that's great. Dissent, Distrust, Dissect... wickedly impersonal.

Oh and Beyond The Implode, obviously.

There's a couple of festy type bands I like:

Tragic Roundabout

Badly Horsedrawn Boy

 

[zhao]

both of those sound like postproduction companies or crap cars from korea

I like the psych/free-folkies and their overly long surreal namess:

Sky Green Leopards
Dead Raven Choir
Famous Boating Party
The Once and Future Herds
Jeweled Antler Collective

And who could forget the, as yet embryonic, One Man Mentalist Liaison Unit?

Just something very simple like Free or Ride.

something overly complicated and childish:

millions of dead cops

 

[swears]

I think Diskette would be a good name for a electonicky-style band.

Cop band names rock. "Chucking Bricks at Coppers" was another good band name. I may have paraphrased it though.
