Mate's band are called 'Clam Pasty'.

Used to be in a punk band called 'Thrombosis':
Our first EP was titled 'I hope that wasn't dogshit'.
It wasn't very good. 😀

The Swan and Paedo

Sounds more like a pub than a band

Not one I'd be likely to drink in though.

I've been in "the afterbirths", and "avocado shoes". The latter named after the footwear of choice of the landlord of the White Horse, Downton, in the early 90's. He used to have this pair of slip on green shoes which were truely awful.

We used to drink a lot in the tap o'lauriston, edinburgh's old punk pub, and everyone in there was in a band- everyone had demos, flyers, except us.

So we got fed up and decided just to create a band. And depending on when you asked us we were either Pubic Inferno, or Millstone.

Millstone were pretty heavy.

my advice would be to go for a band name that doesnt tie you down to a genre or sound like you're bound to be a certain genre:

'heavyheavydeathkillbleed'
'blues wade shoes'
'superfunkdiscoparty'

if your sound develops and changes between albums you'll wish you had gone for something that couldnt be tied to a particular genre. also you dont want people to avoid checking you out because they assume they wont like you 'cos of the band name.

comedy band names mean you wont be taken seriously by the industry unfortunately 🙁

the biggest bit of advice can give you is: A band will only go as far as its least committed member.

if you're starting a band to have a laugh with mates, no serious plans and only plan on a couple of fun gigs at friends birthday parties then have as much damn fun as you can squeeze out of it 😀 the moment you start taking a band too seriously, everyone else does and that sucks even more fun out of the experience.

EDIt - sorry to be a bit boring and sensible... just seen too many bands go through the hassle and expense of changing their name only to loose most of there fan-base in the process.

drunken ****less halfwits

it would be an accurate description and would instill a strong sense of kinship into the potential gig attending music buying fans that we'll need to identify with us..
