Prog Rock Band Names HELP!!!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I picked cloudburst, since you said you have blastbeats, but reinforced
with "jazz" chords, which gives justice to the cloud part of the name.
Either way my band name is Fawns Fear Artemis....I think it may sound
too much like a song title, we'll just try it on for a bit.

Poll Question: Here’s a list of my ideas for my prog band, which do you like best??

	I used to play drums in a punk band named X-Prep in my teens. We never made an album but had a small local hit, "Ich bin häßlich" ("I am ugly"). X-Prep is a very strong laxative, by the way.

	I think you need to first listen to your music and let it inspire a name. Your name should in some way express who you are collectively. I'm mean, if you're writing music designed to inspire or take listeners on cosmic trips, then the name "The Shaved Genitals" would be a disserice to your band. On the other hand, if your music was some sort of degenerate, debauched, cabaret-style, post-modern, quasi-performance art/exhibitionist act, then "The Shaved Genitals" would probably bring in the "right" crowd. And I probably would be in it!

	How about band names like "The Beethoven Conspiracy" or "Anything but Washing Up on Friday Nights"? Another good one would but pretty raunchy would be "The Shaved Genitals".

	I chose Plethora. But I think most of these are names for album rather then band. Nice to have a certain idea, explanation for the name, something mithical, philosophical or play of words etc. Also its good if it is unique word or combination of words, so its easy to search it in internet

	"Fragment of Time" is an awesome name. If I was in that band, that name would inspire me to write a mind-bending prog rock epic. Go for it. That's the one.

	Plethora rolls off the tongue quite nicely. It splits down into three fairly harsh sounding syllables which a lot of good prog bands have. - harsh sounding that is. Some bands consist of one, some of two, some of.......................................................... ......

	I like Plethora that is cool. How about something like "Abstract" or "Quagmire"?

	I think you should call yourself something interesting like "Benjamin Disraeli's Engimatic Trumpet" or "The Ocelot Experience". Well... s'what I'd call my band if I had one anyway.
