Did a short stint in a hard rock band as a teenager. It was called "Xylyx" (Zi- lix) Turns out it's a beetle in Africa (IIRC). Anyway, all of my friends called the band Ex-lax. Dang.

Haha...

How about:

Sally Field of Dreams
Free Beer (bars you play at may or may not want that name on their calendar)

Or, check out Tony Levin's website - he's got an old page of extra band names:

Personally I like names that are internally conflicted. EG. "Tranquil Hegemony" or some such. Gotta be careful tho or you'll come off really pretentious, unless you have the chops to back it up. Also it's gotta be relevant to the music you play. The above example might work well for a proggish sort of project, not so much for a hardcore punk project.

 

[AltGrendel]

Pink Fuzzy Bunny.

Go ahead, I dare you.

it really is true, almost every name you will initially think of will be taken. Just brainstorm a tonna cool ideas and use the best one that isn't taken. google the name with "band" or "tour dates" behind it to see if it's taken. Spoiler: it will be. But unless it's on itunes or under a major record label, it doesn't really matter. Heck, even my name, Push Button Four, was taken, but it was by some failing ska band from the early 2000s with like 200 views so it doesn't matter

"Don't play well together" has nothing show up when you look for band info or tour dates.

I live very close to you. I remember someone telling me their kids thought the power plant was a "cloud factory". How 'bout that one?


oops. On edit, there seems to be a band with that name, but not sure where they are located.
