Band Names: Not many left?


Recommended Posts

About 6-7 years ago I was in a Band named “Analog Sky”..  We looked everywhere including YouTube search for a name no other Band had. We found 0, nada, none.

We recorded & released an Album of our Original Songs..

About a year later we received a Cease & Desist letter from an Attorney threatening to sue us if we didn’t recall our Album & change our name. We sought Council.. Those F’rs Trade Marked our name & their was nothing we could do about it..

So we re-released our Album & used our first names as the Band name.. “The Glenn Michael Rogers Band”.. So far no one wants to sue us!

Here is one of the Songs… You can hear more of our Album on YouTube if your interested….

I found these mash-up names on PasteMagazine:

1. JFKFC (An Atlanta metal supergroup featuring members of other notably named bands like Necropolis, **** Delicious and the Tasty Testcles, and Artemis Pyledriver)
2. Camper Van Beethoven (Cracker never had the same ring to it.)
3. Kathleen Turner Overdrive (It was a sad day in 1994 when Tim Neilsen left Atlanta’s KTO to join with the less awesomely named Drivin’ ‘N’ Cryin’.)
4. Mary Tyler Morphine (From TV newswoman to female-fronted hardcore band)
5. John Cougar Concentration Camp (They’ll never drop the “cougar” from their name.)
6. Gringo Star (Atlanta is apparently a big town for celebrity-driven puns. The awfully named A Fir-Ju Well continued the trend, becoming Gringo Star.)

Back about 8 years ago or so we used to go to Detroit's Greektown Casino.  And often, on Saturday nights, a bar located centrally in the casino and set two steps up from the main casino floor would have live entertainment in the form of local rock or pop bands.  Some were pretty good, and some were just plain crap.

But one night there was a five piece band that was really good.  crisp sound, tight arrangements(and cohesion) and I noticed that unlike many bands, this band wasn't specific in their genre or repertoire. They played a mix of everything from the '50's to just last week.  There was no sign to inform the name of the band, but when they took a break between sets, I meandered over and asked if they had a business card or something I could have and the drummer handed me a card with the band's name on it.  The name?

Watching this years Triple Crown Races, I realize it's sometimes hard to tell if I'm reading horse names or band names.

I always thought one horse name from the past would make a great "girl group" band name.
