• Hmm... 'OMG WTF' 'The Tooting Band' 'Quikr Pikrs' 'Ialdabaoth's Gnostic Heresiarchs' Hmm, not sure where that last one came from. How about 'Not Sure Where That Last One Came From', or 'Hmm'?
• 'Happenstance' 'Vibrant Red Rat God' But I really like 'Etc etc OMG WTF Am I Doing?'
• The Roffles.
• I think Captain Renault could give you about 100 he's collected here. Howabout MOFI?
• A quick trawl reveals these names from previous threads (none of these by the Captain). Rapt Fabliaux Namedropping Twat Semen-frosted Brownies Crazy Bastards on a Mission Urgent Kitten Therapy Supercritical Fluid The Grackle Shat Ibyuk Pingo Those were good threads...
• It's always the Captain who says "That's what I'll call my band!" He doesn't think of them or anything. I figure he's set for bands through the next 11 lives. I'm for "Urgent Kitten Therapy", personally.
• I can't seem to trawl up any of the Captain's - he must use some phrase I haven't thought of. Meanwhile, also from old threads: The Nictitating Membranes Mutant Murderous Arthropods With Radishes Ripping Leviticus Funky Spunk Duplex Renal System Robotic Pants Tragic Battery Failure

• Tankini The Pulaskis Cassingle
• The Compounds Plural
• Muteboy will of course be the solo project, starting as soon as my synthesizer arrives off ebay. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Bleep! kit, I know I asked this on facebook, I thought I'd throw it to a wider audience. Some ideas from me: ASLEF The Fear The Distants Gröwn Mën Urine Attention Scum Owl Semen Fäïl Werzog
• Military Moustache Man-Milk Moustache The Ten-Mile Moustache Ride Review Crusty Moustache Mild-Mannered Moustache ANYTHING with the word 'moustache' in it, cuz it's the best word EVER!! It makes me squirm.

• Looking at your own suggestions, maybe it should be Umlaut.
• I really, seriously, no joke like "Umlaut" for a band name.
• Treasure Trail
• Interrobang‽

• William Gibson Blog? It's on my bookmarks, but I'm currently re-reading Pattern Recognition, which I'm wondering if it's becoming my favourite, thus the Velcro suggestion.
• I remember this link having tons of possibilities... The bonus is that your t-shirts are pretty much already done. Can't forget the merch -- it's all about the merch.
• Merch that serves your artistic statement, of course. Very ironic and po-mo.
• Gren Rob and Matt = Gram
• Diphthong and the Schwas. You can take turns being Diphthong.

• Gnarl Sagan
• I'm torn between throwing my vote in for ÜMLÄÜTor The Plague Vectors...
• my personal choice is "The Malevolent Lurias" but it has to be a chick band.
• My pal Schabe has a long list of bad bandnames which make me laugh. Hi monkeys!
• Shart.
• Carry On Luggage
• Night Tain Droolly Andrews Le Hérisson Mort The Sex Water Pistols Thelonious Monk Ease Coriolis Effete New York Dulls Feta Accompli Anal Massage in the Fenlands
• I am liking The Plague Vectors - nice combination of 'Vector' which is kinda techy and 'plague' which is kinda death metally. Hmm. Does it sound better with or without 'The'? We'll see. "Hello Cleveland! We are [The] Plague Vectors!" I'll show my colleagues this thread. all this discussion does not take into account the fact there are two other people in the band
• The Monkey Filters, see that wasn't hard.
• Oooh. If you pick my suggestion, do I get a prize? Free CD? Backstage pass?? Gangbang with the band???
• ?!!??!?!?!!? Interrogangbang!!
• Sorta self-link: Donkey Fire
• Bottoming For a Horse.
• I would go with the singular, Plague Vector.
• Not sure. I like the idea that the band is a group of people joined by a common theme, ie we are Plague Vectors. Being in a band called Plague Vector is more abstract - the band as a concept. I will continue to consider.
• Whatever it is, you need to have the name prefaced by a definite article. Definitely.
• Captain Renault and Teh Gays
• I'm feeling quite gay today, actually. Chipper, even.
• Ah. That's good. Fancy a quick fumble in the stationery cupboard?
• Mr. Monocle and the Mono-tones!
• Sheesh, everyone's a diacritic. posted by roryk /dies
• What about a take-off on another, more well-established band? Like The Smits, or The Dead Goldwaters? A A?
• *retracts The Smits in favour of The Smaths* *retracts The Smaths in favour of The Smuths*
• ON that note, how about The Beetles? or The Monkeys?
• I'd make it something much sillier. Like The Boatles, or The Torqees.

• Loop See Duade.
• Three Men And A Truck
• We have a shop nearby called The Boxed Meat Revolution. I always figured it would be a good band name.
• Monkeybashi!
• tell us more about what you're thinking, Lara? Hi to you too!
• Well, you see, Pants-Man is a superhero, and I'm his evil nemesis.
• Or you're at it like forks in a drawer.
• I saw a truck today that said "Frank's Meat Service: Nobody Beats Frank's Meat". So I was struck with a band name" "Frank's Meat Service".
• Damn, that one quote was meant to be a colon. I won't even go into why a preview button would be a good idea here.
• The other day, hillbillyswamp passed a delivery van marked "Mid-State Aftermarket Body Parts."
• It was probably headed for Frank's Meat Service. To be added to some Meat Service Franks™.
• And I still say you should call yourself The Compounds Plural.
• Or the Crimson Hitler Orchestra.
• Okay, you win.
• Aaaaand...Godwinned.

• actually, Lara, Godwinned is a pretty good name...
• I agree. Decision made. NEXT!
• So, Muteboy when do we find out the final choice? and are y'all getting a drummer?
• No progress so far. No drummer, because then I wouldn't have a job. We had a first session the other day, just making a bloody racket. We'll see.
• You can look adorable and play the tambourine, like Davey Jones.
• Which one?
• Bill Nighy in CGI makeup.
• Bill Nighy the pi-rate guy-y! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!
