also, there's only three people in this band.

we play pretty unoffensive indie-rock, which i litter with as many ridiculous lyrics as i can.

the best idea i had was 'The Bad Saints'. And that's terrible.

please...

based on your description, i think you should call yourself "litter."

or if everybody else is infatuated with barbershops, you can be the barbershoplifters.

and your first album can be "barbershoplifters of the world, unite."

it makes it a hell of a lot easier to find them in a record store, or in your ipod!

The Eminant Window Opening is great.

we could call our first album "The Obvious Breeze"

― Hari Ashurst (Toaster), Monday, 8 November 2004 21:48 (twenty years ago) link

call your band Stereo Speakers. I think that's a great name. I'd use it if I needed a band name.

i'm going to take this list of names to band practise and by that time we'll be called Soggy Biscuit Barbershop and we'll be playing our instruments upside down and dribbling nonsense words.

― briania (briania), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 19:55 (twenty years ago) link

Litter wins in my book. double-entendre idea: the lead singer could be carried out on a you-know-what on the shoulders of six lackeys.

Stew is just called "Stew" now, sadly. The Negro Problem is a brilliant name but wouldn't make them the top sellers at Virgin, that's fo' sho'

A good friend of mine is friends with "The negro problem" guy.

I misread this thread title as the The Barbarossa Quartet, so that should be the name.

Or the "Barba" Quartet and the band could all wear beards.
