A lot of us have played in informal, unsigned / unpublished, signed and published, even imaginary bands over the course of our lifetimes. I'm just curious, purely for entertainment sake, as to what some of your band names were.
Mine were: The Squirms Moths The Lobotomy Brothers Billy Bob & The Deaftones

Demonster - Not active anymore. Genre: A very mixed bag (My first band, we were just doing covers in various genres, from 12 Stones to System of a Down; Moonspell to Dio; Stratovarius to Cradle of Filth, haha.)
Celestial Asylum - Still Active. Genre: Prog-power metal (We released a demo in 2004, and are working on our first full-length album.) Knightmare - Active but with another vocalist. Genre: Heavy/power metal (We released a full-length album.) Outland - Not active anymore. Genre: hard & heavy (We did some covers generally in hard & heavy style: Black Sabbath, Scorpions, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Skid Row, Iron Maiden etc.) Edited by Shadowyzard - April 13 2020 at 09:40 |

Great word plays! I feel as if I've heard of Youth in Asia. Is this possible? Your stylistic forays have been quite diverse!

Youth in Asia was used a couple of times actually, about the same time as we were using it. There was a punk band with that name and also a no wave band. Our version of it was 7 of us that were majoring in Broadcasting at the University and we played locally mostly. This was around 1979.

Dark Secret (my first band in high school, the 80s)
The Ice Water Blues Outfit (a college thing) The Blue Sign Factory (a duo, also originated in college, and has continued off-and-on to the present day. 2 albums on Bandcamp that I’m very proud of) Hell (me and my keyboardist friend improvising original songs during breqks from college) Lexus Test Drive (basically me and my friend getting stoned in the late 90s and making up crazed songs& skits) Rare Goat (an actual band for which I sing & play guitar. Latest was a music video for “Rocket Launch Caroline”) |

Some names that were suggested back in school for our ‘band’ -
A Noise Annoys (yeah, good one Smitz, wherever you are....) Fretboard Abacus - though every time we jammed it would be something else. and the current project I’m sometimes involved with - Eyes of Etherea. |

Limpid Green
Bat Lenny The Square Foot Facility At the time we picked Limpid Green it was the mid 70s and the Syd Barrett version of Pink Floyd was practically unheard of here so it was a pretty obscure phrase. We were 16. Made awful noises. Revived it about 10 years ago, improved a bit. Bat Lenny came about when somebody tried saying Jack Benny and it came out wrong. The Square Foot Facility didn’t last long but I liked the name. |
