Title: So the band needs a new name, right? [NO STURGES]
Post by: Cpt.Fantastic on 10 Oct 2005, 10:16: Yeah...

At the moment, we are called The Orgasmic Hellos, current favourite is for replacementism is Broken Verb.

We're an indie rockish band and the name needs to 'make you smile', or so Fabio says...

Any better ideas?

Post by: Leonidas on 10 Oct 2005, 11:30: I have an idea for my own band's name. However, I don't have, and probably never will have, a band. Therefore there's a perfectly good name going to waste:

Crusty Tissue Overdrive.

I'll let you have it for 5% of any and all future earnings.

I joke, of course. Jimi Hendrix was a real man, obviously.

there are plenty examples of that, take TV on the Radio, they make original music but their name is just uninspired(or terrible if you prefer)

I must say I'm not overly fond on the LPs either. If I had to choose between a Strat and a Les, I'd go with the Les - however, I'm much happier with a Tele in my hands.

Post by: Luke on 12 Oct 2005, 20:19: Actually, in retrospect, there's a good chance that "Teh" wouldn't be the worst name ever conceived for a music group.

I shan't elaborate.

Might I suggest Yttrium, for a lack of better ideas?

Good Grief works well, too, though.
