My own musical experiences take a turn away from pop this weekend and next, as we attend and participate in the 8th Annual Harry and Myrtle Olson International Music and Organ Festival at University Temple United Methodist Church. Feel free to join us! Or if you're looking for a well-named band, check these out:
The Bony King of Nowhere
Instantly deep in folk-tale territory, and a weird tale it is. He's a real nowhere man. And I love that adjective, "bony."
Electric Children
Because the hand-cranked kind are so labor intensive.
Last Great Fire
I guess Seattle should count itself lucky to have suffered only one Great Fire (so far). Let it be the last.
Mice Parade
Cute as anything until they march into your pantry.
The Of
Definite article + preposition = what? Language stripped of meaning, but it's got a good beat and you can dance to it.
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!
