The Rundown!

A quick peek at the latest issue of The Merc gives a fine overview of what folks might be naming their bands these days. Let's categorize 'em!

Quite Good:
We Quit
Sauce Policy
The Snippet Birds
Good For Cows
Prize Country
Your Drugs My Money
Another Fine Crisis
The Online Romance
Whiskey Puppy
Childhood Friends
Straightedege Buddhist Strippers
Urban Sex Legends
So-Called Blues Band
Scientific Lifestyle
The American Black Lung
The Shipwreck Of Eddie King
The Real Doozies (who are playing with Suzy's Floozies [see below])

Not Bad, but only sorta Cuttin' It:
The Early November
The Sun The Sea
Swim Swam Swum
Bird Costumes
Centerline Tragedy
Me And Me
Dead Air Fresheners
Books Unburned
Grab The Camera

The Inexcusable (which, come to think of it, wouldn't make a bad band name):
Miss Defy
Poecaine
Pricy
Lowenbad
Dykeritz
Disappear Fear (featuring Sonia!)
Chill Will
Inflikt
Untyd (or anything that is a commonly used word-but misspelled!)

You're Trying Too Hard:

Klezmocracy
Anomalous Quintet
Suburban Slim
Wellswung Gypsies
Blues

Suzy's Floozies
Devin Phillips' Funk Project

My suggestions:

Third-Rate District Attorney ("Hey! Ya' goin' to the TRDA show tonight?")
Eighteenth Pale Descendant (if you're a Smiths cover band)
The Deeply Flawed
Hey Stupid
Sandwich Boy
The Boss Of You
The Frown Club
The Exact Opposite
The Spokespeople
The Antidisestablishmentarians
Wopat
Uh

I kinda like "Tuesday Nite Follies" myself.

Those were pretty good. Hope you had a Happy New Year, and got drunk and stuff. heh

Johnny Punchclock, as I think you know, is Booshy from my old band. Still haven't seen them yet.
And: Kerosene Dream is a good name for you? Y'kiddin' me?

These were just the names I could immediately find in The Merc, and hardly represent the totality of what's out there. And yeah, my system of categorization has flaws.

Neutria? Shit, don't get me started...
