Need Band name...
MelodyKewl
Hello Dearies,
I think Drop Indigo would be a very nice name.
Ruby Kisses,
Melody
Bring on the funk
Hello, y'all. My name is David Abling, and I'm a Sophomore here at
Seattle Pacific University. I need to ask a favor from you all, and that
is I need a band name. I am the lead guitarist in a band that some
friends and I formed last year as part of a talent show. Our band name
was Desert Drowning (how our life without Christ is like a desert and with
Christ, the Gates of Heaven open up and flood the desert with holy water,
making us pure and right with God). Not that that name sounded bad or
anything, but it did not seem right with how we all as a group felt.
Furthermore, all of our band members has different and similar styles of
playing: my singer and I knew each other since 7th grade, and so we are
pretty much compatible with any style, but for me, I play everything
(however, my main study is blues, funk, and progressive/shred). My
drummer plays mainly funk and rock, but can play almost anything. My
bassist plays funk, jazz, and classical. My rhythm guitar player, who is
fairly new at playing REAL guitar, can only play rock.
I guess what I need is something that can incorporate all these styles
into a name. Hopefully, not something that will be considered
"alternative," but anything helps.
I've listed some band names that me and my singer thought of. Any
suggestions are also welcomed.
thanks, and keep on rockin' in Christ!
David

Somebody should start a band and call it Pilate Error, just so Jeff
doesn't have to suggest it any more. If i had talent and patience,
enough, i'd do it. That and the fact that "Ariels of Moab" is already
taken as a band name

Which reminds me - are "adult burgers" made only from _ very _ mature

BTW, I still like "Drop Indigo" for the band name.

first album was called "This is a Condom Nation" it is good as far as
Punk goes, especially when it is an excuse for not knowing how to play
your instruments. (Trivia question: What 80's "girl group"[sic] admited
they were called punk because they were picked for their looks not for
thier talent.) The guys from lust contorl were a bunch of youth
ministers who were trying to reach the Austin, TX youth and I think they
were getting through. But they still remained "Punk Puritians".

I think you only like that name because when spelled backwards it is
"Ogidni Pord" which we all know comes from a derivative of the Trintua
dilect of southeast Barundi - and is a common greeting among the
natives. I agree that our use of "wassup" is not exactly the optimal
choice of verbage, but it is beyond my comprhension why the people of
Barundi would greet each other by saying "Hey look, lettuce." Perhaps I
am not sensitive enough to their years of tradition grounded in a
historical lack of edible green vegetation...

Actually I was aware of this but only considered the infatuation
coincidence. The more interesting thing, though (and if you had studied
further would have realized) is that "Drop Indigo" (Ogidni Pord backwards,
yet actually the older) also has meaning in the Trintua dialect, though
admittedly has fallen into obselescence since the "historical lack of
edible green vegetation" began in the late sixteenth century. It was
actually a sort of small talk that strangers engaged in when happening
upon each other in the lush fields while gathering their main food source
- "Enough lettuce for you?".

Certainly, but let me make something clear. Lettuce was not their primary
food source. I didn't make that clear in my response. They actually did
not like lettuce at all, but once it was no longer available they grew to
appreciate it. They did eat quite a lot of cabbage, but the dish was not
"cole slaw". "Wals eloc" was their term for the severe gas they got as
a result of eating large amounts of cabbage. I, however, give creedence
to the theory that English traders were confused with their term "coles
law", which loosely translated means "Leave us the hell alone". They
would scream this at people as they threw food at them in defense. They
had no real weapons, only very fine cookware. Rather than risk destroying
the cookware, they threw hot food.
Phineas Wilcox Maxton wrote a great text about the natives of southeast
Barundi entitled, surprisingly, "Barundi - Land of Genius". Jamison
Thaddeus Thaddeus IV (don't ask) also wrote a brilliant, but brief, paper
entitled "If Not For Drought". Both of these are out of print, however.
I don't know where else to tell you to look for more information.

Actually, it is a little known fact that the native of southeast Barundi
were once among the world's foremost surrealists. So much so that drug
induced hypnotism was encouraged and the scholars of the day would make
journals of the unconscious ramblings. They also encouraged what could be
called "automatic painting" where they would put paints and brushes in
front of the unconscious party and have them paint on animal skins or
people. These animal skin paintings were actually what many of the
traders were coming for, but their interest was short-lived. People
really don't like having food thrown at them by hundreds of screaming
people who look like they had a really bad accident in the paint store.

Ah yes! It all makes complete sense now! I had heard rumors that the
vegatation was plentiful in the very distant past of Barundi's
ancestory, but for some reason I had thought it was cabbage that was the
mainstay bounty. (An obvious mistake considering how well these people
are known world wide for their cole slaw) I, of course, am very happy
to have the additional information - and it is not that I don't trust
you - but could you possibly cite a resource or two? I would like to be
well prepared when this conversation arises with other individuals (and
we all know how often that occurs!)

ouch. sorry, even -i- can't know -every- band in the universe
(sunny day real estate). it (sunny day roses) seemed like the
thing to call the band at the time. we needed a name for
bookings, and i couldn't justify calling this band "farewell to
juliet." i think the real solution, now that sdre has broken
up, would be to just go ahead and steal their entire name.
