Rubbish names of bands you've played in

[BarryRoad]

Awful Sparks.

6 Years of my life down the drain! Well, not really, it was quite a laugh for most of it.

We were also called Wooller, Slingsby and Hubbock before Awful Sparks, all within a year. We were Awful Sparks for 5 of them.

OH! I was also in a progressive electronica/drone/glitch/hip-hop/dance/rave/trip-hop/breakbeat/etc/etc/etc/etc outfit in Bath called Black Hole Projector. Three members, multiple instruments. There was THE Black Hole Projector, Rinse Agent and me, Intercontinental Beat Master (ICBM). I played keyboard, drums and drum machines. Good times. I think I was 18 and high for most of that. Not many memories.

Ok

My first band was called "Vin Blanic" Yes you read right! "vin Blanic" The name came about when our guitarist at the time miss read the famous wine Vin Blanc.

Ive also been in a band at Uni called A'Vague experience. Which kind of speaks for it self.

And KEEFY how could you forget "Immunity" Enough said on that one.

I too was in a band called DTA. I wrote the theme track called Dont trust anyone, which was promptly put on the back burner never to return!!! Dont trust anyone indeed! (6) >:D<

Im now in a band called "Keef and Dems" Who maybe appearing in a pub near you soon! :)-D

[Keef]

Ah Immunity, how indeed did I forget!

[Jeremy]

"Cleatus"

"Muttly's Dastardly Skam"

"Drive By Diablo"

"Suicide Milkshake"

Surely I am the winner...

[snorky]

"wank 'til you bleed"

"Desperate Dans arse":(

[BarryRoad]

Wank til you bleed is great.

I came up with one the other night while wasted. If I ever join a band with Keef, we should be called Shit Guinness.

[Keef]

We'll scale the heights of fame with that name, I like it! ;-)

[Ant]

Is that a name, a description or an instruction?

[mightyroar]

LOL

Is that when they put one of those shamrocks on top in some really naff bar?

Or is it what happens after you drink 15 pints of it?

[AnotherPaul]

I was in The Winonas at college.

We didn't play any gigs at all, practiced three times before apathy halted play.

Should have stuck to shoplifting.

Shit Guinness is basically when you order Guinness somewhere quite posh that outsells anything on tap with wine, champagne and cocktails hands down. Basically, the lines never get cleaned and you're drinking wrought iron. My girlfriend used to work in a restaurant in Hoxton (Bacchus http://www.toptable.co.uk/details.cfm/qs/rid%7C3523/spos%7C1/) that was pretty lush - a pub refurbish, no less(how lordship lane).

But, as they were named after the god of wine, they didn't really shift much of the Grolsch, Staropramen, Hoegaarden or Guinness they had on tap.

One of my favourite memories was a late-in-the-month Sunday opening geared towards emptying the barrels so they didn't get charged by the suppliers for returning three quarter full barrels (it was ?1.70 a pint as far as I remember - cheaper than the Saint Martins College bar no less!). I got a Guinness, took it to my table and had a sip. Nuno, the head chef snatched it away from me;

"What's your favourite lager?",

"Umm I usually drink Carlsberg",

"Have a Grolsch, we have shit Guinness",

Don't let it put you off the restaurant though, it's really very good. I hear the tasting menu is great.

i was in a student band called 'Jimmy and the Thundercats' and ironically we did actually have someone called james in the band and managed to get a projector with the red logo to project out from the back of the stage, seemed quite funny at the time.

[paulgreenstein]

The Groovediggers (actually that was a great name)

come to think of it, we may reform

The Bath
