Nothing to do here. Good band name?

doesn't really paint an image in my head. I mean, I've got a band called Jimmy G and The Chocolate Factory; there's some imagery that the name provides. "Nothing to do here"? Sounds like nothing to see there.

I heard a good way to come up with a band name is to take the color of your pants and what you had for breakfast. Thats one way...
 
Is it common for bands in the Netherlands to use English language phrases as band names?

I guess what I am saying if your target audience mainly speaks a language other than English as their first language, asking a internet board populated mainly by boorish untravelled Americans (that's a joke guys) to evaluate if "Nothing to do Here" is a good band name for a group in the Netherlands seems rather absurd.

If you were located in America I would say the name sucked. But since I've long ago given up trying to understand European culture, for all I know it is the best name ever.
