The First Rescue Party

firstly, i thought this could be an indie group with an old timey flair, sort of like the Arcade Fire. And we could have a revolving door of different musicians and we'd be a merry band of 8-15 people.

then i thought... wait a minute, Rescue ParTAY!
now we're a dance band.

Satan's Teeth

got this from the movie Curse of the Devil.
ideally this would be a 50's horror influenced punk band, but the Misfits did that already and no one can top them so don't bother (A.F.I. I'm talking to you!).

that being said, no girl bands have done it and since I'm a girl and this is MY imaginary band, Satan's Teeth would be a 50's horror influenced punk band with a chick singer. so there.

Neither a Bee Nor an Ant

i don't think it quite qualifies as a band name, but this is a description of a wasp and it's really fun to say.
if you say it enough, it sounds almost like music or like an old adage.

perhaps it could work as a name of a husband & wife band, like Mates of State...

Axess

As in, a woman who wields an axe.
i don't think it's a real word, i just made it up and it sounds fucking cool.

alternate name: Axess of Evil

this would be for a metal band, duh.

Glass Cutter

this would be my solo electronic project

Crystal Slippers

I know, I know, there are already too many bands with that start with crystal... but it IS a really good word. and there's really something satisfying about saying 'crystal slippers'... go on, try it.

Dry Spell

this would be my 70's psychedelic band.

SeX-Ray

Independent Contractor

post punk with a political edge - think Gang of Four and Fugazi.

Chickee Baby

This is my French pop nom de plume.

pandemic

how is this not already a band name??
damn, this shit is gold.

Bird Flu

that's a sick name.

Mauled by Bears

my imaginary grindcore band.

KRAKEN ATTACK!

n'uff said.

Welfare Island

"This abandoned Renwick Smallpox Hospital is on Roosevelt Island in Manhattan and is 155 years old. This was a place built to care for New York City's unfortunate and destitute. The island sits between Queens and Manhattan, and was easily accessible by ferry; it was home to a prison, insane asylum, and other similar facilities. The remote location made this a prime location for the care of victims of smallpox, although both charity cases and paying patrons were admitted.

As of 1872, an annual number of 7,000 patients were treated, with an average of 450 deaths, but was emptied of patients in 1886. The island was renamed Welfare Island in 1921, and in the 1950s many of the institutions on the island became obsolete and were abandoned.

Welfare Island was renamed once again to Roosevelt Island in 1973, and during this time Renwick fell into ruin quickly even though it was deemed a historic landmark worthy of preserving."

thanks to Jamie for this info!

This would be an awesome band name for any kind of band, but I'm going to have to go ahead and name my imaginary indie rock band Welfare Island. We're a 3-piece with a girl (me) on drums. We're from Brooklyn, duh.

Yellow Belly

or
The Yellow Bellies
or
The Yella' Bellies


This is the name of my imaginary alt-country, alt-bluegrass rock band. Think Avett Brothers or Deer Tick.

Johan the Mad

William Mortensen, Johan the Mad
"By her crazy tragic journey through the kingdoms of Europe, bearing with her the corpse of her beloved husband, she has come to be a symbol and prototype of the tortured quest for something irrevocably lost." -- Mortensen


absolutely gorgeous.
this would be for my lush, quiet/loud band. Think Mogwai, but with some soft, desperate, insane vocals on some tracks.

Sensational

If I only had a band where I had this amazing low, crazy, guttural voice and I sang over noisy, clanging guitars and a slow, sludgy bass and drums, this would be it's name.

also, think of it...

"THANK YOU! YOU'RE A GREAT AUDIENCE AND WE ARE SENSATIONAL!"




lydia lunch and nick cave

Poor Sport

If I only had a band composed of skinny white boys that played post punk or math rock, this would be their name.
