Reverb Festival today! Go!
Astronautilis
Star Squid! The resident science guy thought this might actually work: put a little helmet on there, pressurize the shell, and let it jet around the galaxy.
Astronomar
I was kind of hoping for four more Astro- names but I found only one. This one appeals because it sounds like a real word but I don't quite know what it is. The Starry Sea? Or an obscure Spanish infinitive: astronomo, astronomas, astronoma, astronomamos, astronomas . . .?
Cymbals Eat Guitars
My favorite of the week. Unplug the amp, and those guitars don't stand a chance.
Throwin' Goat
I guess it's a metal term, but this sounds like a goofy rodeo event, up there with my favorite, wild cow milking.
Unicorn Porn
Okay, it's pretty obvious once you think about it. Now I have to be careful not to Google images of this.
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!
