If I had a band I'd call it....
 

Some great names for Prog bands I've seen recently.

I particularly liked 'Albino Slug'

If I had a band I'd call it 'Go for the Dog' or in memory of my recent operation 'Deviated Septum'

What would you call your band????

One Fell Swoop

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

My top four:

The Thick White Cards
The Memoirs
Jazz Super Stereo Phonic
Tank


(The only problem with Tank is people associating it with ELP.)

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

No Trump



( I'm a bridge player )

Spock's Beard

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

Well, Over Hill and Dale, of course. 8-)

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

My Band name would be/is "Krapp".

"Evening everyone, we're Krapp!"

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

I joked years ago I'd have a band called, "These Guys."

"Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for These Guys."

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

I'd call mine "Blown Blue Laser" since I work with lasers at work:D

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

No Exit

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

One time some friends of mine were asked to cover for an opening band that canceled two days before a show that had already sold a few hundred tickets. They threw a band together, rehearsed a bunch of obscure covers (so that most people would think they were originals), called themselves "Room for Improvement," and played a 45-minute set before the headliners. Pretty fun show. Just played the one gig.

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

If there were ever an Aural Moon band, it should be "Moonatic Fringe."

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

Oh I've thought about this a lot.

My band would be called The little salad forks. Our first album would be called "lettuce begin." :)

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

And the second album, "Relish the Moment?"

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

NO, that would be the first (or second album) from the Hotdog men.

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

Bad Corn

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

These are fantastic folks - gave me a real giggle today although TobyTanzer - where I come from a Trump is a Fart!!!

I am currently in a band called 'Dr Dill and the Herbs' - which I like.

Used to be in a band called Turnpike and later on one called 'Pigs in Space' (a direct steal from the Muppet Show), but our tag line was ' In space no-one can hear you squeal!'

In terms of new names I'm now going for;

'Thankyou and goodnight!' - though it could lead to the world's shortest gig....

"Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome - Thankyou and Goodnight"

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

How about

The Psychic Horizon

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

Maybe I'll just do a solo album and call it "the Mike album." It will feature me and my bandmates sitting in a room. I'll be sitting on a chair with a cast on my leg. :P

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

Lucid Dream

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

sounds more like an Open Mike album ;-)

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

the offshoot band would be Dead End?

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

in high school, me and a friend came up with a fake band called Reverse Polarity one day in physics class and wasted a lot of class time designing album covers and coming up with punny song titles.

other names off the top of my head:

Syncopated Sanity
Cloud Nein
Splitting Hares
Synesthesia
Camel Toast ;-)

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

I have a friend in a band called "The Mid-Life Chryslers".

I always liked "Lifeline Experimental Orchestra" (LEO) and "Organized Noise". But my favorite name is "It's Not What You Expect".

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

Wangdoodles

Oompa Loompas

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

Mystic Moon

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

I'd call my band "Scar Fishing". Here they are... :rockband: :rawk:

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

Fungus Amungus
Cheese and the Crackers*
The Absolutes
Don't Let the Door Hit You on the Way In



* (great for a white funk band)

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

I always liked "Tools for Dad", after I saw it on a sign outside a hardware store in Atlanta.

And the quirky "Four-Loaf Cleaver" is my favorite.

Oh, yeah, how about:
Age of Larry
Fear Itself
Nat King Coleslaw

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

A few band names I've toyed with...

The Has-Beens (old covers band)
Once Were Rock-stars (in the same vein)
Thursday Night Roast (or whichever day your local pub has it - for a folk band)
Lost in the City (Yes covers)
Dog's Breakfast (punk band)

I've got a mate in a Zappa covers band called Petulant Frenzy.
And I was in a four-part harmony group called "Faux Pas Harmony".

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

This requires a little bit of a back story so enjoy. ;)

When I was eighteen I worked at a grocery store pushing shopping carts(this was 1988). One day there was a guy entering the store who was wearing a King Crimson t shirt(the one with the red face on it). I recognized it and started talking to the guy. He then told me had to go pee so he went in side the store and I caught him on the way out. When he came back we had this pretty long conversation about music. I think it was the very first time I ever heard someone mention The Residents(a band I had never heard of before). I don't remember every detail of our conversation but it was apparent(his shirt was the first clue)that he was a prog fan. So anyway, he told me that if he ever had a band he would call it "Inky black." I think he said that he heard that from someone who told him that's what he would name his band. SO there you have it. "Inky black" would be the name of my band(that is if I couldn't think of something better). I don't think I ever saw the guy again but it's interesting that I remember that from over 20 years ago.

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

Gotta admit I have a soft spot for names like that. The band Rumah Sakit has an album called "Obscured by Clowns."

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

I like all of those titles (except maybe Syncopated Sanity).
Cloud Nein is very Neitzche
Splitting Hares a little gruesome
Synesthesia would have to be for a very ELP type band
Camel Toast is marvellous!

Now, what were the punny song titles you and your mate came up with? :dunno:

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

Sad to say, I found myself reaching for the "Like" button...

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

Yesterday's Retro
comes to mind because I love old 70's prog...most of the band's work would be highly influenced by canterbury and Gentle Giantesque symph.

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

Oozy Micron
(stuck my finger in the dictionary at random, twice)

Re: If I had a band I'd call it....
 

Not in the Mood

"Hi, we're Not in the Mood"
