Happy Halloween! As it happens, I didn't pick very many spooky-themed band names this week, either. Let's reach into the treat sack and see what we find:
1234
This Ramones tribute band has come up with the perfect name: bare bones, stripped down, no nonsense. And it quotes nearly every record!
The Diablotones
This one's kind of Halloweeny, and promises a fun party. The sinister opening is defanged by the classic cheesy-loungy ending.
Done Goners
Doomed, but with a folksy twang.
The Electric LandLadies
What is it with the well-named tribute bands this week? A meeting of the psychedelic and the mundane.
Microscopic Suffering
Either the most minor pain you can possibly feel, or else so bad even your microbes hurt.
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!

January 13, 2013
I'm a day late due to a very busy Saturday of wildly diverse activities: helped lead a spiritual retreat in the morning, then into the sparkly purple minidress and over-the-knee boots for a party at Teatro Zinzanni in the late afternoon and evening. Naturally, I caught a cold; lucky I didn't get whiplash. But there's always time to celebrate great band names:
Books on Fate
It sounds like it's going to be Books on [some audio medium] and then takes a turn for the cosmic.
Coho Mountain String Ticklers
"Tickle" is the perfect verb for how bluegrass players get sound out of their instruments, and also how this name affected me.
Holy Bourbon Church
My temperance foremothers would be shocked, but what time are the services?
Microscopic Suffering
Seen through the right lens, even tiny suffering fills the field of view.
Transmissionary Six
Automotive meets evangelical.
