So you and some mates are starting up a little band, but what do you call yourselves?

I was idly thinking earlier today that "TBC" would be a great name for a band. Think how many posters you'd be on.

Given your horticultural efforts, I'd have thought that this was more your thing;

BTW I'm quite keen on [url= http://www.chasingglass.co.uk ]Chasing Glass[/url]* - good job we've already got that one eh? 8)

Used to be in 'Thrombosis'.
Our 1st EP was 'I hope that wasn't dogshit'.
Sadly, the public disagreed.

Mate's band go by the name of 'Clam Pasty'. 😐

Next project will be named after an iconic piece of graffiti that brightened up my North Manchester childhood no end:
Laydeez an' gennelmen, I give you 'The Fanny Licking Belt-Whippers'.

Classy, no?

I used to go to a punk club where absolutely everyone was in a band except us. We got fed up of that so we formed Millstone. We were pretty heavy.

A mate's band was called "Moistened Bint". Didn't get many gigs. Now changed to "Two Push Charlie".

My on / off, mainly off, R&B (as in blues) band is tentatively named "Mr Meaner & The Felonies"

There is a Cliff Rescue and the Helicopters in the SW.

My mates were nearly Captain Donut and the Sticky Men or Captain Sellotape and the Sticky Men.

My favourite real band names were Floyd Lloyd and the Potato Five and The Toxic Kangaroo Babies.

Just remembered I photographed a local crowd called [url= http://www.mikeanton.com/Bands/SistaFistaConcorde208Apr07/index.html ]Sista Fista[/url] 5 years ago.

Don't think they're still going.

Me and a mate really want to start up a southern rock/metal influenced band called Shotgun Royale. I think it's an awesome name, we just need a drummer, bassist and singer! 😆 Already have a load of stuff written here if anyone wishes to listen - http://soundcloud.com/tom_the_beast

MartynS and I have started jamming. He suggested a name but I'll let him reveal that one. I reckon [b]Dad Rock[/b], cos we're not kids anymore, and face it, we're going to be playing dad rock classics

"Mech Hanger" sounds pretty metal.
"Dirt Jump" sounds kinda rude.
"Big Ring Grinder" sounds ruder.
"Sticky Clipins and the Flailing Topples" sounds country.
