When did bands start having "band names"?

Or Sounds Incorporated, 1961?

By the way, one tidbit I got from Mark Lewisohn’s new book Tune In is the fact that there was a skiffle group in Liverpool in 1957-58 called the Darktown. That’s the first example I know of of the phenomenon, which became common in the 60s, of giving the band a name that is neither “The Somethings” (i.e., plural) nor “The Something Quartet”/“Something Singers”/etc. (i.e., containing a “group” term) nor “Somebody and Somebody”. Prior to this, the earliest such group I knew of was the Essex (1962).

Plato and the Academy

The Divje Babe Flute, thought to be 55,000 years old.

I’m guessing they called themselves “Ugh Ugh and the Ugh Ugh.”
