As you might know, I actually created a post on craigslist asking people to vote on a name for our band, out of an accumulation of years of thought about possible band names on my part (a peculiar hobby, sorry).
But look what got the votes: Bitterfly! Three votes! Shutupnoyoushutup -- three votes! Venetian Blondes (a totally cool name!) two votes!
Mango Czars! Even Buttwing got some votes!
Well, the voting is over and now you know we're Sacré Blues (with the accent-aigu!) so feel free to appropriate.
I know I'd pay $25 to see a band called Shutupnoyoushutup, though I'd hate to try to read their business card.
Aw Shit.
ReplyDeleteWell...my fav name from the list was "Criminal In Tent"
But I'm just dirty like that and that doesn't really go with a jazz-blues hybrid anyway.
While Sacré Blues is a very classy and fun name, with a nice Franco/Anglo thing going on, I am crushed that you didn't choose my favourite, Toxic Clod. Crushed, I say!
ReplyDeleteHey, people, things can change! They often do! I'll mention your choices to the guys and see what they have to say.
ReplyDeleteBoth the ones you chose have excellent potential!
We're both clods AND criminals.
Hey wait -- THERE'S ANOTHER NAME!
We shall consider it!
Speaking of which, Knatolee, upon looking at your blog, "Weed Whackers" ain't bad either!
ReplyDeleteOh, Christ, don't get me started. I swear, I'm an inveterate collector of band names.
Don't worry, all the discarded band names can become album names! And the discarded album names can become song names! And the discard song names can become lyrics! And the discarded lyrics can become punctuation!
ReplyDeleteGod, I never thought of that! Of course! I can WRITE a song called Bitterfly!
ReplyDeleteThat's genius. Qaro, thank you very much!
"The Weed Whackers"... maybe I can use that for my trio. (We were a quartet, but the bass singer got canned.)
