What Should We Name Our Sci-Fi Inspired Band for a $200 Prize?

[physics girl phd]

I woke up this morning thinking about

The Quantum Car Mechanics

Maybe because I've had lots of cars that seemed to be a superposition of dead and alive. I dreaded starting them.

Jimmy is a nice name.

Jimmy is a nice name. It might be confused with "Jimmy Eat World", so perhaps "Jimmy Eat Many Worlds", or "Jimmy Eat Universal Wave Function", could work.

Or just Spooky Action.

 

[IMP]

Holo-Band (after the Holographic Principle)

The Wave's, we interfere with ourselves.

 

[klackity]

Laser BattleAxe Eye Surgery

 

[FrancisZ]

One Stone.

(translate it to German )

Ahha! I never knew that. My last name is Ziegler, but seriously the only German word I know is "NINE!" and that's because it's also a number.

At last...somebody with car humor around here. Anyway, that's an awesome name.

Antiband. We annihilate the battle of the bands. Why? Cuz we're awesome.

Certainly Uncertain. Where are we again?

We really need help naming our band, I just found this forum and it seems like an excellent place to try, so a little contest:

If we choose a name you come up with you will receive $200 usd by paypal.

The ideal name should grab people's attention.

If it helps: we’re inspired by sci-fi books, nature, astronomy, movies, dreams, even quantum physicist David Bohm has inspired one of the songs we wrote.

Here’s a link to a short sampler on YouTube:


Please PM or post your entries. Multi-forum contest, enter as often as you want.

Contest ends May 25 when we send the music off to a mastering engineer.

Thanks for playing and good luck...

"The Pies"

[Darken-Sol]

i always wanted a band named "garden of mutants". it was the title of an article in a "better homes and gardens" mag.

 

[ground_effect]

Resonance Peak, The Blue Marble(s), Chaos Dynamics, Nullspace, Unstable Equilibrium or Transit Orbit(s).

Cool sampler too, good luck with the project!

hmm Neun?

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

How about "Red Marble"? A combination of Blue Marble and Red Planet.

 

[physics girl phd]

Along a related line: you can't choose "Johnny Astro and the Big Bang." I just found out we have a local band by this name after http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmLMrMdIy5c" (with Big Bang added to make sure people know they are a group, not a solo artist):

Pretty sure they had the name before The Big Bang Theory sitcom based on their timeline. One of their songs is "Mathematics"... and I found out about them because they won some local Battle of the Bands, and will be opening for "Better for Ezra" at one of our big open summer concerts downtown.

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

Euler Wave and the Harmonics

 

[1MileCrash]

How about just.. "Valence."

 

[Drakkith]

How about just.. "Valence."

Hah! I get it!

[chhitiz]
