March has thus far lived up to its reputation as unstable and transitional. Snow one day, 60 and sunny the next, while the early bloomers insist that it's spring already. And though it seems too early, Daylight Saving Time begins tomorrow, so remember to "spring ahead" one hour.
I picked up a theme in the band names that didn't quite stretch to five, so we have a set and an outlier.
Pound Pound Pound
The Ram Rams
Si Si Si
Sugar Sugar Sugar
Sometimes repetition is all a word needs to make it into a band name. Two repeats is good, but three is better. Would four be even better, or way too much? Pound Pound Pound appeals to the drummer in me. The Ram Rams forms a tidy sentence that isn't even too hard to picture. Si Si Si adds Spanish sibilance to an overall positive vibe. Sugar Sugar Sugar brings sweetness to the point of aggression.
Monkeys in Space
This blog was almost called Monkey Ranch, and I'm still alert to band names with monkeys in them, on top of my well documented sci-fi bias. Here it all comes together in one supremely goofy package.
Naming a band is an act of concentrated creative expression. Square Pig in a Round Hole exists to reward five favorite band names each week. Winners are listed alphabetically. Selection is wholly unscientific and subject to whim, with a bias toward wordplay, humor, and local flavor. In most cases, I won't know anything about the bands at the time of selection. Thanks to the Seattle Times club listings for abundant source material!
