Crash Crew |
Many
years ago, 20+ years for sure, a friend and I started compiling a list
of fake band names. Every once in a while I add to my list, which I've
collected into an Excel file, with sheets listing the names in the order
I came up with them and also rearranged alphabetically. The following list is ordered by date; you can see how dated it is by references to NYC Mayor George Patacki, George Bush I, Friends, Cuba Gooding Jr....
It's
an original idea in as much as we started doing it one night on our
very own, but it's certainly not unique. I'm sure kids have been doing
this since the beginning of Rock and Roll. Years ago I saw a webpage
dedicated to the idea and a Google search these days brings up a lot of hits. And of course there are several Facebook groups dedicated to the concept. (I was motivated to finally put this online by the Fictitious Band Names Repository but there are other groups).
But
I'm gonna stay away from groups and keep my list here. My proposal is
this. Anyone can use a name, but if you don't put on a show or put out
an album, the name will remain free for the taking. If someone uses it
for a show or a release, it will be taken off the list and people will
have to respect the "first come, first served" rule.
My
only condition is that if you use the name for a release, you have to
credit me somewhere in the liner notes, i.e. "Thanks to Laws of
Silence" and provide a link to this post. I'd also ask that you send me
a copy of your album, LP's preferred!
If by some
miracle you do very well, like get super-famous and wealthy, you can cut
me a generous but reasonable check to alleviate my chronic
near-poverty. Seriously, I'm sick of scrabbling and any extra
spondulics in my account would be more than welcome. I will update the list irregularly as I add new
names. BTW, the very first band name I came up with was for a comic I
made, even before my friend and I started this project. The name was Crash Crew
and, as it turns out, is actually the name of a real band. A terrible
name name actually, like many of the names to follow. Some of them are
pretty good, but mostly, they're just silly, often an excuse to make
awful puns, which is another hobby of mine....
So, without further ado, the list.
The list continues (Part II)
