Name the Band
I'm writing a story that involves a rock band. Problem is, I can't think of a name for the band. At all. :( Do you have any ideas? I originally thought of Stereohead but I think it sounds to simalar to Radiohead.
Sensible suggestions only please. |
Boombox. Naw, that's crap. Dammit, now all I can think of is stuff relating to musical equipment. Thanks a lot, man. You and your Stereohead and Radiohead.
How about . . . "Quick As"! Sure yeah. If you're Australian. Is there a band called Pumpkinhead? No, that's Mushroomhead. You could be Pumpkinhead. Pumpkinhead and the Jack O' Lanterns, even. Matchstick. Broken Bottles. Flamebaby. Playing with Fire. That Band Whose Name I Can't Remember. Slaughterhouse 5. Need more? I've got a million. They're all rubbish, but you could stick them in a list of real rock bands and no one would ever suspect they're made up. |
Dang those names are great, did you do this in a pervious life or something

EDIT:- Raisen's pumpkinhead made me think. How do you like the name Applehead, or Creamhead? |
Applehead. Creamhead somehow sounds vaguely disgusting.
|
Ah, yes. Creamhead. :eek:
|
Blech. Makes me think either of disgusting cold medical ointment or really mushy hot cereal or . . . well, something far worse than that which I won't speak of.
I have a hyperactive imagination. Sometimes it's a gift, like for coming up with a million and one names for rock bands, none of which sound particularly far-fetched and all of which sound like crap. Sometimes it's a curse, such as when I hear the term "creamhead" and I start getting really disgusting mental images. The Moose Poohs. I like that a lot. |
I'm sorry, I only thought of creamhead because somebody walked past me with trifle.

It all depends on what type of Rock band it is. Is it Elvis Presley wannabe Rock or Modern Rock?

Meatball Industries
Peanutbutter Sandwich Soup Dispenser Those where the names that were in the running for my band once... Ah, memories... |
Nuclear Nights? Erm... Devil's arse. I'll be able to think of more when I'm not half asleep.

Leatherface.
The End of All Things. Rebels of the Sacred Heart. Big Brother. The Savages. Sorry, those weren't very good. I thought of the last three because I was thinking of the sci-fi novels 1984 and Brave New World. In fact all five of those are basically obscure rip-offs. Not protected by copyright (as far as I know), but just not very original. |

DooMed Itza What about Mettallica? Thats a cool name... |
Crippled Elves.
Bad Billy. Dope. Cigarette Boat. Below a Bridge. Behind a Cave. Carpet Crawler. Laugh my ass off. All rip-offs from the movie Cheats. There's a scene where these guys get the answers to this test and instead of making cribsheets and risking getting caught, they make up an entire song to the tune of Ode to Joy using letter answers (the entire song consists of words starting with either a, b, c, d, or e). Really ingenious, in fact. Here's the proof: I saw that scene twice when I watched the movie about a year ago, and I had all the lyrics down the second time. It's so hilarious. There's this whole classroom and every guy in it has the answers memorized and they're singing the words in their heads and one starts and it shows him and his mouth isn't moving but you can hear his voice and then others start joining in and there's like an entire chorus of people singing inside their heads. Crippled elves do dance around a devil covered by blue dress. Dairy causes diarrhea, chunky creamy butter cheese. Bad Billy does dope, bitches and brews but can't even build a cigarette boat. Allah bangs booze every day below a bridge, behind a cave. Carpet crawler can't eat eagle before chicken during day. |
