Thanks. It was the suggestion of one of my housemates actually, credit where it's due and all that.

I think they should be a band so incredibly, absurdly prog that they go right back round again and become punk..

I may steal that -- I've just hooked up with a couple King Crimson fans and we're planning to gig in Sept.

I'm also wondering if "The Adjective Nouns" has ever been used for a band. With apologies to Mordant Carnival, of course. On Google, a thread of hirs shows up first, along with a few grammar pages and one entry on a "humor" site's list of band names.

It seems such an inevitable band name, I'm surprised there's not one out there already.

That sounds amazing! You have full permission.

I should tell you that despite not actually existing, Henry Mountain & the Fucking Wizards have a very specific sound; sort of a combination of Crazy Horse "chords hewn from cliff faces" enormo-rock and dark desert psychedelia. 'Wild Horses' by Oneida is the prefect example of the HM & TFW sound.

Here are some of the highlights of a vast list of mostly awful band names I currently have under consideration:

Witch Honey
Chief of In-Between
Lunar Mutiny
The Ultraviolet Catastrophe
Tonsil Hockey
The Yeah Hounds
Street Wizard
The Lost Chicks
Johnny Foreigner
The Gateway Drugs
Horselover Fat
Rocket Group
Artschool Canyon

I've always thought that the New Hitlers is either the best or worst band name imaginable. Probably the worst, but it stands out.

Oh my, we used to do a student radio feature where you had to guess the fake band names from the real ones. Among my favourites were -

Super goblin transistor
Ian Acne and the Blackheads
Best of dogs

and...

The voluptuous horror baps of Lisa Riley

Erotic Penguin Explosion, that is sheer genius.

The insanely a-musical punkband I am currently in and not in (meaning we only rehearse once a month when fucked up) is called:

Plan B


Our current motto is: "Nuke the crowd", and our one and only song is called "This song is for people who are without inner and outer ugliness borders" (- free translation from dutch), don't ask, it really makes no sense.

Did you know there was a 'Weekend at Bernie's 3'?!?
Bernie sort of comes back from the dead - a departure, I'm sure you'll agree.

God, I've been wanting to offload that for ages!
