Happy 2016! As long as bands keep coming up with creative names, I will be here every week to blather about them. For example:
Clarke & the Himselfs
Takes the classic X and the Y structure and makes it as awkward as possible while still being perfect for a one-man band.
The Cosmic Shuffle
Perfect start to the new year: once more around the sun!
Powerbleeder
Perhaps the most hardcore name to be inspired by an automotive tool. Or else it's that Bloodworks donor who's done in 5 minutes.
Some Other Guys
I celebrate the ordinary non-specificity going on here. This one very nearly eluded my internet search, the downside of such a supremely generic name.
Wooky
In this winter of a new Star Wars movie, this old Star Wars nerd salutes the furry guy. Let the Wooky win.
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!
