Imaginary Band Names

[Nee]

I saw this on another forum and thought it would be fun. Anyone else here ever think of a really cool band name, but perhaps you are not musically inclined and never had the chance to use it?

My friends and I thought of these ones a few years ago:

The Riffs
London Bondage Orgy (LBO)
A Sweet Condiment

We even made a comic about The Riffs. LBO was a side project, and A Sweet Condiment was the band of our fantasy guys, James, Ian, and Stanley. James and Ian represented two real guys, and Stanley was like some weird, comical hybrid of the two. My real life friend Dustan was our band manager, and also had an alter-ego called Shade, who was a hero in our comic.

Yeah, we were a little weird. Sad that the comic never got past the first issue though!

This was a bit more detailed then I intended it to be.

A Sweet Condiment sounds great!

When the Smashing Pumpkins' album Siamese Dream was my absolute favourite of that year, one of my friends would always tease me and call them Exploding Mushrooms. I still think it sounds kinda cool.

i used to have so many! and have an imaginary role in them all (yes i have problems)

the only ones i can remember are Forest Fires and North London Shoegazers

My friends and I had a 'Rock Band' band...Gun Shot Wound a few years back. We even did a photo shoot on location with out mics and guitars - the 'drummer' is a photographer. We took it as far as having a FaceBook fan page (I think it's gone now though - I haven't looked at it/for it in ages). But it was quite funny at the time.

My friends and I also had had a band, when we were twelve. At first we wanted to call our band "Eyelashes", but we have ended uo calling it "Nederina" which doesn't mean anything

That is great! I'm glad I'm not the only weird one with an imaginary band. Haha! I actually had a Myspace page for Stanley. You can see it here:

I had to remove one of his "photos" because it looked too much like real-life Ian's real profile pic, haha.

I like Exploding Mushrooms and North London Shoegazers.

my housemate has a typed up list of 2013 band names... it goes daily...
I will get on to him and see if I can steal a few to post here...

^Thats some dedication

A friend of a friend etc was in a band, they had a name but for ease we would always call them "Bens Brothers Band"

Personally I thought this sounded better than their actual name, turns out there is really a band somewhere out there called that ...

My friend has DJed under the name God Wears A G-String before - bit of an odd one!

[aha shake pepscake]

Me and my best friend came up with a number of band names when we were actually thinking of starting a band. Never really got to it though. Some of them are video game related, sorry 'bout that

The Basch von Ronsenburg Orchestra
I Killed 50 Inuits (MIGHTY BOOSH REFERENCE!)
The Pyramid Heads
We Wish We Were Irish
Smoking Kills
Winter Came Early
Archadian Empire
Sandsisters
Barking for Clive
The Silent Hills


and a thousand others hah

[autobusas]

I like Wish We Were Irish. I also wish I was
Peps, is your signature made by you?

[jemenfiche]

pepscake...I LOVE Silent Hill! Pyramid Head always scared the shit out of me.

I always thought 'Red Shoe Revolution' would be a cool band name. And one of my friends says that if he ever was in a serious death metal band he would call it 'Second Holocaust.' Pretty intense....

[aha shake pepscake]

jemenfiche: I knoowww! He's awesome though Definitely one of my favourite games.

autobusas: We actually really liked that name, until we found out there was a band called 'Wishing we were Irish'
Nope, i haven't, unfortunately. Isn't it adorable though?

[GirlAnachronism]

If i'm ever in a band or involved in naming one my choice is Desario! (Freaks and Geeks reference )
