Thanx! Just noticed there is another Blind Pilots at the moment, founded in 2018. Also one troubadour name "Blind Pilot". Our band was in 1992-96, we were playing some kind of stoner thing (bands main songwriter liked a lot that time bands like Monster Magnet, Kyuss etc.). I played bass and sang few of my songs. Originally band name was Dischord, but I quess there was a same name band that time so band leader wanted to change name into BP.

At least the leader thought to check!  There are so many repeats of band names, even still.  As you doubtless know, there are repeats from way back in the day such as UK and US Kaleidoscope band names.  And of course, from younger people who may not know of early bands with the same name now, but they should know to check the internet these days.

...and there was also Caribbean Kaleidoscope in the same time! UK Kaleidoscope has been my favorite of those. Also Nirvana already existed in the UK at sixties...today bands just seem not care about having same name. There are Howling Brothers in the US and I would have wanted to change our bluestrio name because of that, but my brother said "why change, almost every my earlier band name were duplicates..."

Cream Egg
Moondaze
Syntax
Harry Reptile
Eleanor Rigby
Fatal Error
Drop Zone
The Armchair Advocates

And a few others where names were changed so often that the band(s) eventually fell apart because no one could agree on anything..

Here's the Cream Egg Song on Bandcamp.  This dates back to 1975 although it was recorded in 2013.  Needs re-recording I think...

Awesome! I LOVE Alexander Ostwestfalen! and Poets and Murderers! What types of muzak?

Ay, missed that question. A former member sells old Alexander von Ostwestfalen stuff on bandcamp,
https://hotelencore.bandcamp.com/album/anemone-nemorosa
however I think we were very young and mostly not very good (although we didn't realise that at the time).
Poeten and Murder have some stuff on soundcloud, there is some proggy stuff there (I push proggy and instrumental stuff more, my music partner is a more melodic quirky art rock/pop lover).
https://soundcloud.com/poeten-und-moerder
Funex is free improvisation based on noises and sounds, probably not your taste, There's a bit on my other bandcamp site, and one by Wale denken leise (which is a strongly Martyn Bates influenced singer/guitarist and me doing arrangements and some other instruments for him, around 1990; actually right now we do a new internet collaboration piece together):

Mine are one-man projects:
Superluminal Pachyderm - prog rock project composed on computer (had a couple collaborations on my Prum and Sea of Peas albums, but the rest is just me); active since 1999; 9 albums; working on a new album right now; not sure how I would describe it... kinda weird stuff, sort of a mix of neo prog, space rock, avant-garde, and maybe Thomas Dolby??

Amalgamated Hippopotamus - an electronic experiment that deconstructs recordings from the above project; active since 2019; 5 albums

I once played in a band called Lilac, but I left after approximately a year, and they changed name to Bias.

Other than that, I've mostly made music in my own name. Not particularly proggy though, but the song "Uoriginal sang" has a kind of tricky chorus and some irregular bars. Another one is in 5/4...

I have already posted it somewhere in the deeper jungles of this forum that I have dreamed of making own rock band called NO. May be taken as opposing the band's name Yes - but in reality it had a more sophisticated meaning. 

I thought of my favorite fruit at the time - perhaps, it was orange. And my favorite number was nine. Ninth Orange or, in short, NO. 

However, the mystical side of that name was yet to discover. Like ten or so years after the invention I have finally understood that if translated in Russian, it would become Devyaty Apelsin - that is, DA, that is YES... 

How can one not believe in supernatural forces then?!.

I was in a band called Melochromia (around 2013) but we disbanded before we even played/recorded/written anything.
Here's the logo I designed for the project:

My high school band was called Steel Penguins. We wore tuxedos. That was rather impractical.

Let's see:

The Mercury Orchestra (not to be confused with the actual orchestra by the same name)
Identity Theft
Laminar Flow
Early Morning
Boreal Kinship
Silent Script
Daniel Martin & The Infamous
Pepperland
Rockology

I'm actually still involved with the last 5 - although thanks to COVID, I'm usually not too busy rehearsing with them lately. I think the other 4 have dissolved mostly by now. This doesn't count the groups I played with while going through music school, which all have boring names like Symphonic Wind Ensemble.
My prog band - Boreal Kinship

Never really been in a real band, but I've had a couple informal groups I've played in before.

To Brisk / Too Brisk / Two Brisk (spelling depending on lineup) - this was pretty much a talent show band with my high school friends. We played mostly acoustic covers of popular alternative songs with split male and female vocals for other high school students.

Turtleneck - this was another talent show sort of band, this time electric and more rock n roll. We spawned from working together on music for a big comedy and music show my dorm put on for our university, wound up playing a couple other gigs for a riley dance marathon and on the school football field for a senior celebration.

Drapes - this is a halfway imaginary band my best friend and I claim to be in. The idea came from our other friend who said he wanted to start a punk band, so we told him to show up to my house ready to sing. I brought my bass and my best friend brought a couple buckets and kitchen utensils to hit them with. We actually tried writing some songs, or more like I wrote some weird lyrics for this weird band and we jammed once. Theoretically we're still together and liable to actually write a full song at any time.

Names are a lot of fun! I also made up an imaginary band name once, Violate Blues.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

in my youth I played keyboards for a blues-rock band called Galactic Tailors. later I joined a band called Ohmygodisms (read as Oh-my-God-isms); we played very strange music. I then founded the jazz-rock band Fluffy Fingers. with Friede I formed the Bald Angels, and my latest project is Mother Gaia, an all-female band consisting of Friede, my sister Bea, our daughters Alice and Dorothy and me
