The Bone Wars

boring indie rock. you'd get excited because the name's really cool, and you shell out 13 bucks because, shit, the cover's cool too and pitchfork gave it an 7.6, but then you give it a listen and realize that all this crap sounds exactly the same: mediocre.



p.s. you should read about the REAL Bone Wars on wikipedia, it's a fascinating story.

Dead Birds

this band would be serious and dark and hopefully remind you of piles of dead birds. we'd aspire to sound like Neurosis, but come up embarrassingly short.

c.c.'s beauty mark

this would be a super fun, high energy throw back to poppy hair metal bands.
all songs about: screwing models, destroying hotel rooms, coked up strip club escapades, and one sad ballad about the one that got away....

Baby Graves

This would definitely be my all female black metal band, complete with organ and sometimes a cello. But this wouldn't be that pussy black metal, this is the real thing. In the vein of Mayhem, and out of grief and outrage, we burn down all the Babys R Us's in Sweden.

Horror Vacui

The fear of blank or empty spaces.

rather than go for the obvious and make this my imaginary dark punk or metal band, this would be my so-pretty-it's-creepy project. me and a guitar, a cute boy on a synth and a drummer with one snare, one symbol, a triangle and chimes. the music would be weird, but my voice would be high and clear and beautiful.

Letters of Transit

this is my douchey emo band.
name thanks to Casablanca.
we sing about lost love and faraway places.

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.

This is my French pop nom de plume.
