suggestions_for_photophobe's_bandname
Photophobe Hey my new band's old name is "very", which personally I think is "very shit".

I need to come up with a good name quick, before they decide that its ok to keep very.

Its an alternative rock band, more serious than comedic.

My thoughts so far:

Io
Postcard from nowhere
Journy to titan
The forks

Any and all suggestions are welcome! Thanks guys!

silentbob if you're trying to get names from blather why not call it blather red, or blather blue. something like that.

otherwise, there were some band names i was coming up with that i was just fantasizing if i ever got talent and got a band together what we might be called.

but if you had that name, i dont imagine you would care if some other band did too. and if you did mind and got really big then i would feel semi-special having had a hand in the naming of it.


some band names i've come up with:

Girl Ignores Boy
The Nerve
Anti-Climax
Lez Deppelin (if your band is a lesbian riot grrrl band)
How Dare You
Love Betsy
Nice Shit Betsy
and.... uh

i dunno. you could have your name be Heavens To Murgatroid or something

Photophobe Hrmm. Blather-based names are out. I'm just trying to use this for brainstorming - hoping something someone says will spark off something else in my head.

Photophobe there are some cool ones there.

We sound like ... Somewhere between Early radiohead, jeff buckley, crowded house and ben fold five.

Which I guess doesn't make any sense, but we're in thats sort of genre, anyway.

kerry hey Photophobe, if you guys make it big or whatever, i'll make some t-shirts for you. oh yeah, and bumper stickers...
i have an idea!! action figures!!!

that would be so cool. with your musical talent and my manufacturing brilliance, we could be the birth of a cult that follows your band eagerly all across the country... beyond.

Photophobe I/O
Io and the moons of Jupiter
aeIOu

I don't think the rest of the band will go for Io. I suggested it last week, and Simon liked it, and the others agreed that it was better than very.

But we can't really go with a name we don't all love.

I guess Io will stay my pet name.
When I go solo, or something.

R Photophobe...If all else fails, resign yourself to having your bandname picked for you from a random bandname generator. Who wouldn't want to be remembered as a member of 'fascist Lemonade'! I wonder if anyone has actually resorted to this? ...too funny!

an idle foetus here and there Except for the distinct possibility that JG Thirlwell may have already used it as the name of one of his albums i would say

020520

Photophobe heh. I like it, but it seems the rest of the band have vastly different ideas about names.

They now want 'reflective shade'

I'd like "the rubber band"

Or at least to change "Postcard from nowhere" to "postcard from "
020521

god orion onion 020521
...
Photophobe I tried to convince them to call us either "The rubber band" or "Rage against Mr. Sheen", but they wouldn't go it.

And we're playing our first gig tommorrow night, so I guess our name is set in stone... I'm not unhappy with the name, really. Could be worse.

Postcard from nowhere
020531
...
Photophobe heh. not so set in stone it seems. we're now called 'the earthlings'.

We are getting our demo pressed tommorrow, so maybe it is a little more stony than before. :)

unhinged everyday anguish misanthrope

was a three_words that i thought would be a good band name

but i would like to hear a band that was a mixture of three of my favorite bands/artists. do you thrash around like ben folds and like hit the piano with the stool and shit? ;-)

Photophobe uhhh... we're pretty firmly set as the earthlings now.. but thanks. :)
I play the guitar, but yeah, the keyboardist does do a bit of keyboard bashing (not with the stool though- yet) He broke one of the keys at the start of last gig, but with all the bashing it somehow fixed itself by the end :)

Achilleus Wow there are some terrible names on this page.

What about 9/11 and the london bombings?

A friend of mine wants to start a band called the young liberals. He thinks its irony, but I suspect many wouldn't get the joke.
