The downside of sticking with this project for going on four years: it was a bit of a challenge finding five band names to honor this week -- not because there weren't a lot of good ones, but because there were so many I had already chosen in the past. A couple more passes through the listings yielded the following:
Anxiety Fair
If Thackeray were writing today.
Bandalabra
In our 30-years-and-counting improv project, Banned Rehearsal, we grab every opportunity to make puns based on band or banned, but I don't think we've ever had cause to do this one. Coincidentally, I just watched Behind the Candelabra last night, so I can't help imagining some kind of Liberace connection.
Garlic Man and Chikn
Classic X and Y structure meets dinner! What's not to like? Bonus points for creative spelling.
Noi!se
I'm a big fan of punctuation in band names. The placement here is great fun and emphasizes the noisiness aspect.
The Plot in You
Fiction writers are often asked which is more important, plot or character. This implies that character is plot and plot, character.
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!
