Early last month I posted about the Guillemots. I can definitely give the Muzzle of Bees stamp of approval to their album From The Cliffs, and because of that I would like to offer up something super special.
The contest is for a beautiful and limited edition double vinyl 10″ of From The Cliffs. Since the Guillemots is such an amazing and unique name, we thought it would be best that the contest revolve around band names. Therefore, in order to enter the contest please leave a comment with a band name you think up (for example: “Death Leprachaun would be a wicked cool name for a band”). The winner will be selected by a panel of my friends. Please note that if you don’t want to receive e-mails from the record label on related artists and such that you please specify so in your comment.

I was bored in class about a month ago and wrote a ton down–
But if I can only do one, I guess I will have to go with…

My band name would be “Hogatha’s Locket” named after a villain in the smurfs.
I think the smurfs are headed for a comeback so having a smurfy band name before the trend is the only way to go.

“(The) Box Of Lost Flat Picks”
Where do the lost flat picks go? Is there any reason why they disappear? Are they just stolen from the second guitar player or there’s something we ignore? Is there a box in another dimension that holds them all?
Anyway, Guillemots are *great*.

“La Brigada Zombie”
translation: the zombie brigade
It’s a killer 80′s zombie movie.

Triptych Altarpiece
…is what my band would be named.
Guillemots is a good band name, but Fyfe Dangerfield has an even better made-up name than his band does.

“Rainbow Butt Monkeys!”
An actual band, who I liked, before they changed to “Finger 11″.

early this year i came up with an impressive list of euphemisms for, ahem, ummm, female self pleasuring. it was to prove that there were equally clever euphemisms for women as for men. a few favorites that might translate to band names:
Playing the Clitar*
Paddling the Pink Canoe
Jillin’ (as in Jackin’ and Jillin’)
*my favorite

Zoom Gravy
This was an initial password that came with an AOL trial CD in the mail years ago. I didn’t try AOL, but I am now trying to win this contest, so that’s something anyway. It would be sort of a prog thing I think, but with a dollop of nostalgia. If anyone can look forward and backward at the same time without inviting neck problems, it’s Zoom Gravy. They lost a roadie trying to plug a banjo into a Moog, but that’s the price of wistful progress.
