Ok, so here's the deal . . . this thread is for discussing cool, or not cool band names, that either exist, or that you have simply dreamt up.
my alterior (sp?) motive for this thread (and of course there is one) is that my band is currently considering changing its name. Right now our name in 'phyvel', as in the mouse but spelled differently. One new consideration that I thought of was 'up in flames' . . . but any other suggestions or comments would be more than welcome.
Anyway, to get this topic started off, I'd have to say that my favourite band name of all time is the Weakerthans . . . I'm not really into their music but I think it's such a clever name.
continue . . .

According to a review in NME, a British music mag, it's the gayest band name ever

The Sketchbook Prophecies.
I think its a HAWT name myself.

Girl: Does he see me? Does he even know that I'm close by?
Guy: We're in the hallway, always at half past nine.
Girl: Would he ever get to know me? Would he take the time?

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Yeah, In Flames. They're a Swedish metal band. They're kind of big around here in Detroit.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
Nevermind

I think the coolest name of an actual band I've ever heard is The Starlight Mints.
I used to think that if I had a band I'd want to call it Cellar Door, but some of my friends stole my idea.

don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.
