I’m totally burned out tonight from a hard day at work, but I wanted to post a little something about creating band names. Some names are great; some names just suck. And, of course, it’s all subjective.
A game that my wife and I have played since we met in college (before we were married) is kind of an ongoing sort of fun that involves taking funny combinations of words and saying “That’d be a good name for a band.” Last night was no different.
We were at dinner, and somehow the topic of spandex came up. My wife told me that despite her gargatuan amounts of love for me, spandex just “didn’t do it for her.” I responded with, “How dare you deny me my spandex ambition!” And hence, the title of this post.
So, if you’re a band out there struggling for a name, there you go: Spandex Ambition.
You’re welcome. This one’s on the house. Otherwise, I bill hourly or by project.
What great band names have you come across?
My list includes (off the top of my head): Unprovoked Moose Attack and The String-Cheese Incident.
What about you?

I know they are more well-known, but I always liked Mott the Hoople and Toad The Wet Sprocket as band names.
