Shit Band Names Redux
OK, I had a grump about bands with punctuation in their names a while back... Now, having discovered the existence of Does It Offend You, Yeah? I feel compelled to have another moan. Actually, yeah, it does offend me. Cocks. It makes me think only of Jonathan Yeah?, the editor of Sugarape from Nathan Barley.
Here's Dogme 08 for band names:
No punctuation.
The (Fallen) Black Deer, Holy Ghost!
No references to animals, especially wolves.
Ignoring the Animal Collective and its members.. Wolf Parade, Sea Wolf, Wolfmother, Wolf Eyes, Cruel Black Dove, The (Fallen) Black Deer, Deerhoof, Deerhunter, Jet Jaguar
No mention of black
The Black Ghost, Black Mountain, Black Gold, Cruel Black Dove, The (Fallen) Black Deer
No holy anything
Holy Fuck, Holy Ghost!, Holy Sons, Holy Hail, Holy Martyrs
No ghosts!
The Black Ghost, Ghosts on Tape, Holy Ghost!, That Ghost, Jukebox The Ghost
Meh, that'll do... I could add no two-word names in the format modifier + noun.

Great new band:
Black: Holy! Ghost, Wolf?
They play rockabilly.
heh, just thinking:
* no animal references: the Beatles.
* no two-word names in modifier + noun format: the Rolling Stones.
Oh well, they were crap names, sacred cowhood notwithstanding...
You forgot some blacks: Black Kids, Black Lips, Black Devil Disco Club, Black Keys, Black Sun Empire.
Black = highly cool band name in 2k8.
Woohoo Marillion is still a go-er, Fish is out, Porcupine Tree is iffy, and poor Billy, Iron Maiden is a goner too :)
