The WDN BANDNAME ARCHIVE


At the time that these were written -- sometime between 1996 and a fraction of a second ago -- there was no band by that name that I knew of. All are original, and almost all of them came out of my own head, or were part of something overheard or misheard or taken out of context. A couple are stolen, but with good reason.

Of course sometimes I'm wrong, and where great minds have thunk alike (or somebody has confessed to using one of these names for a real live project), I've annotated the entries. The stars next to band names reveal these HIDDEN FOOTNOTES if you mouse over them. Probably. (Requires JavaScript.)

The newest entries are at the bottom. The list is updated sporadically -- about once a month I'll suddenly barf out another dozen or so. You are welcome to use these as a name for your own musical endeavors, but please let me know if you do so I can update the footnotes (and feel free to send me tapes and CDs and t-shirts and groupies and money and stuff). You can reach me at keinsignal_at_this_domain
