More Band Names
I've been pretty busy with my band Lucky Munk, so I've fallen behind on a few things. By the way, a clean house is a luxury and not a necessity. Also, deadlines on things like book manuscripts really should be flexible if the author is in a band.
So, since I've been busy with my band I thought that this week I would share a few more of the band names I've developed that have yet to be adopted by the up and coming in the music scene. So here they are.
The Deadbeats
This is a group of unemployed drummers. Their slogan: "We may be lifeless, but we've got rhythm."
Preposterous
This was my first choice for my own band before I was told that it was "too difficult to spell." But think about introducing the band during gigs: "Thank you, Ladies and Gentleman. We are Preposterous!" I still think it would make a great name.
The Hollow Bodies
A group of zombie jazz guitarists. Sort of a Kiss thing, but with a jazzier sound and maybe less spandex. Or more spandex. Let me think about that one.
The Eclectrics
A techno-pop group that plays a wide variety of tunes and genres. They are eclectic and electric. I find that when you don't know what else to do just smash two similar words together and everything seems to work itself out. Sort of like puberty.
Rat Sass
This group probably has to be a metal band because the word "rat" doesn't work as well in other genres. However, this has the best marketing potential of all the names I've come up with so far. Slogan: "Show people you care about them and give them a Rat Sass CD." Say it out loud. You'll get it sooner or later. Rat Sass could probably tour with The Pancake Maggots.
For those of you who missed it, my first post on band names is

Hah. You wouldn't believe the ridiculous amount of time my husband & I devote to thinking up stupid (and not-so-stupid) band names. Or rather, not so much thinking them up as pausing mid-sentence for a bit and then saying ".... OK, add that to the list of band names!". We have a ton of them. I need to rack my brains and share a few, although they'll probably lose something in the retelling, if you know what I mean.... i.e, you probably had to be there for it to seem remotely funny!

We do it all the time, too! But my husband is in the music industry so he has a different perspective on why names will or won't work. A lot of mine get shot down (even if I do think they're awesome). I'd love a job making up band names but I can't get anyone to hire me!!
