This morning it was sunny and windy and felt like March already. OK, I guess that is tomorrow. February always ends suddenly -- too soon yet not soon enough. Don't want to jinx it, but I think we're safe from winter. To celebrate the turn of the calendar, how about some band names?
Bacon and Beer
The band for men. (Or breakfast of champions.)
Big Trughk
This one gets in for spelling. It perfectly conveys a guttural, phlegmy pronunciation that makes an ordinary vehicle intimidating.
Girls Love Rockets
Well, this one always did. From about the age of six, I thought it was pretty strange to assume female people weren't interested in space, space travel, science fiction, etc. Because who wouldn't be?
The Hex Dispensers
It's very convenient: just lift the head and a curse pellet comes out.
Sunken Rocketship
This seems somehow more disastrous than a regular sunken ship. A rocket has so much farther to sink.
My fiction and blogging projects collide in "St. Rage," now available as the 13th release in the Pankhearst Singles Club.
This story of an all-girl teenage garage band with superpowers is
short, it's funny, and it's only $ .99. If you like "St. Rage," please
like St. Rage on Facebook and go listen to their first demo, "Huge Guy in the Mosh Pit."
I play drums in a band called Your Mother Should Know. Our album Rocks and Glass is available now on Bandcamp.
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!
