How important is the band name for you?

I like "Purple Burglar Alarm".

But it's only funny when I Glaswegian tries to say it.

Well we've finally agreed on a name, and after all that it has absolutely nothing to do with Monday. 😂

You've not said what it is. That's not a good sign. 😁

MissEducation.

Our female lead singer is (was) a teacher so it works on that level, and it's also a nod to the fake news, false information, flat earth era we live in.

Watching a programme about Christmas cooking right now.
Suddenly remembered that my punk band Nigella's Ahrse also got little momentum from its website.
I blame Google.

Google whispers: “that’ll be our little secret” 😉

Currenty thinking of names for the new band, and I came up with Phoney Iommi.  Unfortunately we are not a Sabbath tribute, and I discover Phony (sic) Iommi is the name of the guitarist in a tribute band called Children of the Gravy.  😀

I can't work out whether that's brilliant or terrible!

Have they any connection to a group by the name of McSabbath? I've vague memories of a terrifying video of four people dressed up as McDonald's characters with guitars; the lead singer being dressed as Ronald McDonald and singing "I have frying pan, (something-something-something)" to the tune of Iron Man...

Yeah, it's important alright. There's a band here in the NW that call themselves 'Touching Cloth'. Now, I'm sure they're great and everything but I wouldn't go anywhere near. Contrariwise, 'The Johnny Friendlies' would have to be pretty terrible for me to write 'em off.  ' Vincent Black Lightning' sound like the kind of people I could spend an evening with whereas 'Eye of the Tiger', say, or' Gypsies Kiss' would put me right off.

I like a bit of definite article myself - The Cheating Hearts, The Mighty Revelators, The Hiding Magpies - y'all get the idea. Atomic Rooster kind of of break my rule but I get round that by referring to them as 'The Rooster' at all times.

I once got offered the bass chair in a band and accepted on the condition they changed their name. There was a short pause on the other end of the line, if I recall, but given that the band were called Rockers Revenge at the time the feller soon saw sense and acquiesced.

I guess in the end it's the fine line between clever and stupid.

Rockers Revenge the decent chart band from the 1980s?
