Well, right below this thread title in MPSIMS was the thread title **PBS Farting Show**. How’s _that_ for a band name? ---

Cleveland Steamer. Or **Pablo**. I second the suggestion to search the SDMB (off-peak hours!) for “band name” and prepare to spend hours and hours cataloguing the hits. ---

[leader’s name] & the Afterburners Hydraulic WD-41 (to avoid legal hassles) Crankshaft Amperage Titration (chemistry term) Exothermic Frankenstein (as in revived to have a second life; also the metal classic by The Edgar Winter Group) The Madness of Crowds (a classic 19th-C. book on that and other oddities) Boys’ Night Out Eleventh Frame (as in bowling) Fourth and One (or, “4th-and-1,” fourth-and-one," etc.; football dilemma – do you go for it or punt?) Squeeze Play (baseball) Full Court Press (basketball) Stick The Landing (Olympics cliche, but I love it) What are the occupations or hobbies of these guys? I’m assuming they’re all guys; if I’m wrong, please let us know. And if you go with any of our suggestions, please let us know about that, too. I for one would love being a sort of Internet-message-board-godmother-of-sorts to an amateur metal band I’ll never see! 🙂 ---

I really doubt that no one else in the world has thought of this yet, but I’ve never seen it and think it’s pretty kool. Puppet Show I think it straddles that fine line between stupid and clever. ---

Oh, and as to the OP: It’s an old joke, but “Free Beer” or “Everybody Gets Laid.” The idea being that, when they play a gig, the marquee outside will read “Tonight: Free Beer” or Tonight: Everybody Gets Laid." Guaranteed sellout crowds. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/name-my-husbands-band/129783.md?page=1)
