Time to come in out the sun (in Seattle! In March!) and think about band names. Fortunately, the supply of creative and entertaining names is as abundant as ever.
Bite the Buffalo
Bullet Made Statues
Part of the attraction here is that these two are on the same bill, lacking only Statue Made Buffalo to complete the circle. A tough guy will bite the bullet; how much tougher the guy who will bite the buffalo? Meanwhile, bullet made statues would seem to belong to the same category of high-testosterone art as chainsaw carvings.
Deathrow Tull
For those of us who were never won over to flute-based folk rock, this couldn't be more perfect. The happy accident of homophones.
The Giraffe Dodgers
More happy homophones, this time with cheerful nonsense.
Holy Grail
They're playing on Easter. Dunno if it was on purpose, but what could be more appropriate?
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!
