So, I have a new band, and this being a brand new beginning for me and all, I would like to get off on the right foot you know, and having the right name has everything to do with that, no?.. SO basically, I am the creative force behind this five-piece, and so far have come up with the best option being GHOST PARTY what do you think?.. Here are the facts: We are a five-piece group with two guitaristas, a drummer, a bassist and a guy on Rhodes and other various key activity…The music is mostly melancholic (pussy-stuff, you know) though mostly poetic and snug/dry under the lovely category/umbrella of POP!! I’m sorry I don’t have anything for you to listen to, as of yet. Anyhow, let me know if you can think of anything else, or have any other questions… ---

Heck, this is the Internet. Do a Google™ search by entering “band name generator” - exact phrase. You’ll come up with a bunch of sites. Here is just one: [http://www.elsewhere.org/cgi-bin/bandname](http://www.elsewhere.org/cgi-bin/bandname) Among other things you’ll get: The Fabulous Thumb Brigade The Don Knotts Experience Go ahead and let the 'Net do the work for you. ---

**Jenaroph** Here’s a band nam thread I started and maybe this is the one you were thinking of? > **[Weird Rock Band Names](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=197944)** > > Some rock and roll bands have had really strange names. This probably started in the mid 1960’s and continues to this day. Consider bands such as “the Electric Prunes”, “the Strawberry Alarm Clock”, “Spooky Tooth”, “Fever Tree”, “Liquid Smoke” -... No doubt there are many more. ---
