WR Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 3832 netherlands	Posted on May 30 2007 09:56 AM Brian I think you need to go back to the drawing board. I agree, sorry. But to be honest, the names of every band I ever played in would not have survived if I'd had a forum like this to check what people thought and get some feedback. — Rules to live by #314: "When in Italy, if the menu says something's grilled, don't assume it is." https://www.facebook.com/The-Malbehavers-286429584796173/ Top

dp Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 3546 mojave desert, california	Posted on May 30 2007 10:48 AM i voted for "Sea Lice" a Sea Louse from the wikipeadia: "Sea lice are copepods which parasitise fish. There are two species of sea lice commonly found on cultured salmonids, Caligus elongatus, a species of parasite that infests over fifty different species of marine fish, and Lepeophtheirus salmonis, which infests only salmon and closely related species such as rainbow trout (but current research indicates it may be spread via the three-spined stickleback). Both species are also found on wild salmon. There is widespread concern that sea lice flourishing on salmon farms can spread to nearby wild juvenile salmon and devastate these populations. Sea trout populations in recent years have seriously declined due to infestation by sea lice from salmon farms..." Top

Speaking of Frank Zappa, Dweezil is playing here in July playing all Frank Zappa songs, it should be cool. So far I like Globster. Heres a few I found in my abnormal psychology book: Ant Abuse The Schizoids The Downers Ego-Alien Fragile X The Glans (this might refer to glans penis, which is not really cool) Top

IronMaiden Joined: Nov 02, 2006 Posts: 564 Virginia Beach	Posted on May 31 2007 07:07 PM bigtikidude call me stupid but what was your band name before? Jeff(bigtikidude) It was 'Call me Stupid' haha funny funny...I was calling it The Cachalots but my drummer is trying to be a pro surfer or something stupid and my rythym guitarist is trying to be a rock star or something stupid so basically I kicked them both out. Now its just me and a another drummer. The reason for the name change is that its a Filipino custom that if you get really sick, I mean like deathly ill what you do is change your name so that you will become healthy because the bad spirits dont recognize you or something, thats the idea behind it. Anyway, not that anybody cares but yeah I like Globster. Ill post a demo as soon as we make one. Top
Tuck Joined: Sep 02, 2006 Posts: 3166 Denver, CO	Posted on May 31 2007 07:41 PM I voted for Sea Lice, but Seal Ice was a good variation on that. It also suggested Sea Beggars (pirates) to me. Pack Ice? Ice Packs? How about Graven Images? You might have to play in a tiki mask. Grave News? (Mike & the) Margraves? I doubt it would work here, and it's pretty obscure, but somebody one mentioned to me a domestic missionary outfit called the Urban Servants, which came back to me a few minutes later as the Surfin' Urbants. I'm waiting for a veteran all-female band called Iron Matrons. Clearly that's not going to work here, either. And then there's Jupiters, because, as everyone knows, "Neptunes was taken." Or any planet you like. (And, by the same logic there's Iron Horsefly, etc.) Has Spindrift been used? Top
