New Wave Outpost Forum

Have you guys ever thought of a name for your own NW or music group in general? When I was a kid, I always entertained the idea of being a rock star and I remember seriously trying to come up with some cool names for my band, but of course my band never existed. I had some really cheesy names written down but I can't recall now. If I had my own band today it would be called "The Y Fonts".

What's the name of your band?

I had an idea for a Fleshtonesy garage-style band called the Del-Chromes

"Hutter's House of Kick Ass"

You shouldn't have any trouble promoting your band with a name like that!

When I was in college I sang in a punk rock band called Festive Death. It was a short lived career!

Nice Crumb cartoon, hutter.

"Menacing Throb" or "The Poindexters". It's a close call.

Take the easy route and let these <a href="http://www.blamepro.com/bang.htm" target="blank">two</a> <a href="http://www.mentholtrailer.net/cgi-bin/gbv/generator.pl" target="blank">links</a> find one for ya.. [;)]

I don't know what I'd name my new wave band if I had one. Probably RU486. My other project I'm working on is currently nameless. [:(]

On a related note, as I mentioned in the other thread, my band's name (circa 1981) was the Abortions.[:I]

Besides "The Fucktards" I'd have to go with "Starving Maynards The". It's a name me and my old roomate came up with.

Putting "The" on the end was a way of revolting against all the bands that felt compelled to put a "The" at the beginning of their names.

PS It's also fun to put "The" where it doesn't belong at all. As in: "Did you hear the latest song from The Garbage?" Or "I really like The REM."

"Squid Brillo".....part of the whole Rain Parade camp. 3 cassette releases and even got a mention in Maximum Rock and Roll. Some air play in Cleveland Ohio back in mid to late 80's.

Ahhhh, the good old days.

Max

The music you listen to is the soundtrack of your life.

I think these are the ones I came up with as a teenager:

"Ruptured Kleenex" (or "Ruptured Positive" to avoid copyright issues)

"Ionesco And The Images"

I have no idea why I came up with those names...

My band, is called Tuckernuck. We are trying to make New Wave comeback. We are synth, mainly Sleazy Synth. I am from Nantucket.

Access Denied or Vagabond Dogs

Interesting that most of these names sound more punk-oriented than new wave to me. I guess that means, most of you would be in a punk bank.
