Dave Berry has always been a favorite writer of mine. He has this ability to look at life through slightly (Ok, sometimes extremely!) warped glasses. After stringing together a phrase of non-sensical words, he would often finish with, “…which would be a great name for a rock band.”
As a writer of Christian drama, I’ve learned a great lesson from Mr. Barry. Creativity breeds creativity. The more creative you are, the more creative you’ll be. I’ve also learned another important lesson from Dave. Keeping an ever-growing list of potential rock band names is just good, clean fun! Thankfully, my husband shares this hobby with me and participates with great enthusiasm.
So here is the first installment of our “Top Ten List of Great Names for Rock Bands”.
10. Vertical Dryers
9. Altitude Overload (Oddly, we came up with this one as we flat-landers were passing out on the top of Pike’s Peak.)
8. Screaming Mimes
7. Left-Handed Cows (For you Country/Rock fans.)
6. Hemlock
5. Spastic Inertia
4. Harps of Doom
3. Button-Down Chaos
2. All Seven Heathers
And the most excellent name for a Rock band so far…
1. Licking Laundry (Email me if you’d like the story behind this one!)
Tune in next time…or the time after that…or maybe sometime next month for another great… (Ok…maybe “great” is a little strong!) Top Ten list.
