Joined: October 2008 Posts: 489  | Mine was "No Pretty Boys".    I even had the logo planned, a caricature of a handsome guy - wavy hair, strong chin, sparkling smile - with a circle and diagonal line over it. Problem was, I was always in the band and, well, it kind of negated the whole idea.  | ||

The guitar player played in a group in college called "White Cloud" (after the toilet paper). We came close to forming a 2 man acoustic thing called "The Plungers" in the early 80's, but it never happened. | ||

Joined: December 2004 Posts: 2150 Location: Orlando, FL  | Many years ago I wanted to name a hard rock band "Crank Ass" I even designed a very descriptive logo for it. But(t) I couldn't get any of the other guys in the band to agree. | ||
