A well-deserved bump: the book containing the final ten has just sold to FSG and should be on the shelves in mid-2008. All the winners get credit, obviously!

This is the name of the group comprising Glen Phillips (the Toad the Wet Sprocket one) and Chris Thile (Nickel Creek), of all people. Apparently they admire each other and they made a record a while back.

A college friend of mine just posted a show announcement and one of the band they're playing with is called Tr1bal S3eds. I immediately thought of this thread.

Once encountered a real band, playing the social night at a phil conference, called 'The Critique of Pure Rhythm'. Nearly too clever, but also yuck.

It's going to be a loud night, with three bands known for amped-up guitars and roaring vocals. Dead Fish Handshake, whose last EP was produced by Sevendust's Clint Lowery, describe their sound as "unadulterated rock 'n' roll...with a no bells-and-whistles approach." Crewman Number Six (the name is a Star Trek reference) have been pounding out their "heavy, soul-funkin' hard rock music" for more than a decade, while Ed Smith & The Ego are longtime Hoboken scene vets.

In my orbit, too many pickup band names are lazy AF, referencing their practice time or their practice space or how often they rehearse. I probably shouldn't name them here but there are some decidedly lazy band names out there.
― Wine not? (Ye Mad Puffin), Tuesday, 23 January 2024 03:21 (four months ago) link
to be fair, some of the greatest bands in musical history had the laziest, most unimaginative names
