Hi All... My band and I are still trying to come up with a band name. We've culled a list of about 70 to 30, and then to 2. Which d'ya think is better? RESONATOR or FACTOR ZERO Confused, Clueless & Beyond Thought... Wayne@OZ

Kinda depends. What kind of stuff do you play?

Hey Wayne didn't you used to have a web site for the band? I thought you had some sound bites available at one time.
But my vote is for Factor Zero. Resonator sounds too much like a Kiss cover band.

We used to be Spoonbender, but after a change in lineup (a new drummer and an extra guitarist) we decided it best to start afresh. The SB website is still up at: spoonbender.homestead.com but there's only one download available - a kinda country, kinda punk song called Hook. In general, we're rock, with flavours of blues, soul, and folk depending on the song. Once I set up a Yahoo!Group for the new band, I'll put some .mp3s up for anyone that's interested in a listen. PS Early indications from the band are that we'll probably be... Resonator. To quote our lead guitarist: "Factor Zero seems to take itself too seriously, and smacks of oh-we’re-too-cool-sci-fi-teenager-bedroom-poster-battle-of-the-bands-masturbation." Wow. I think he really put some thought into the choice.

I told him he was an over-hypenator, which almost became a potential band name itself...

I kinda like "Hyphenator" myself.  But, yeah, I can see the guy's point about Factor Zero. Sounds like something from the more serious side of New Wave/Darkwave music, and that doesn't sound like what you play at all.

So sez The Hyphenator: "I'll be b-a-c-k."
(Our bass player called from the beach to suggest we should be known as "Sluts in Big Towels". I think he's been out in the sun too long.)

Heh - I like it, but the rest of the guys are Legion-Clueless, so it'd be wasted on them.

They might take it the wrong way even.

You know, Teeds, whatever they call the band, they'd be hard-pressed to rock as much as you do!

Hmmmm... Considering that I'm the only one in the band unburdened (heh) with a significant other, I really wonder whether calling ourselves the Infectious Lads or the Nelly Caps is gonna do me any favours... PS Getting the yahoogroup set up - anyone who's interested might be able to actually hear some of our crap soon.

I'm interested Wayne. I remember hearing some of your clips before. And I'm sure Caroline would like to hear them as well.

You could give the band a Star Boy-themed name without your band mates knowing it:
GRAVITY
MASS INDUCTION
XANTHUSELA (tell 'em it's the name of an ancient prophet)
DREAMER'S DREAM
STARFIELD FOREVER
