So my band has started recording stuff and has played a couple gigs, nothing too big, and we've been mucking around with names, and we've basically come to the agreement of having a "Person and the People" type name, ala Echo And The Bunnymen, Pearl And The Puppets, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. I've been screwing around with ideas for a while and I think I'd like the first Person to be one word, and I'm utterly and completely unsure as to the 'and the People' part. I'd like the Person to be something rather, erm, 'cool'. Ancient Viking names accepted. If anyone has any ideas, chuck em this way.
Cheers,
-Blake.
Mellon and the Ninety-two Collies :-*
Christopher and the Quentin Jones. The ladies will be all-up-ons.
Grim and the Rippers :)
A local band down my way once went by the name of 'Cliff Rescue and the Helicopters'. :-\
Max Dangerous and the Adventurers.
I had a friend in highschool who's band name was "Brutus and the Angry Senators." I think if the Person and the People match then people are more likely to remember it. Or if the names are contrasting. Though their music isn't that great, Echo and the Bunnymen have an awesome band name.
Ray Charles and the Not Sees.
(Seriously though it really depends on what kind of music you play. Got any samples for us?)
Me and Us/Them
The Awesome and More :D
Ghost and the Grave-diggers
Killer Robot and the Ninjas
Cheese and Crackers
AND....Benny Lava and the Mustards
One of my bands was called Chesney Christ And The Negative Nancies and I've always liked the idea of the name Billy And The Boggle Bags after an adventure game I got from the Library when I was a kid
A sample of your music would greatly help with brain-storming a band name for ya... ;D
Mister Eraser and the Indelibles?
Vegitmite Q. Haggis and His Assorted Inedibles?
or my personal favorite
Fluke Blake and the Games That Never Were. ;)
Coming up with band names is fun!
- Ponch
Screemie and the Rape Victims
Lead Singer and the Band Members
Captain Vampyro and his Ineffable Doom Orchestra
All fake band names which have recently served me well
I genuinely think Person and the People would be a good name.

Actually, any territory that has been infamously invaded would be a good name for an 'and the nosy neighbours' band. Poland, Russia, France, Belgium, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Gaza, Pearl Harbor, Kuwait, and Darfur are all off the top of my head.
Additionally,
Immanuel Goldstein and the Thought Police
Rick Santorum and the Mother Fuckers

Mellon and the Collies?
Let us know when you have chosen something :)
Haha, thanks for all your contributions guys, they were great :D
I've decided to just go with my name;
currently tossing up between
Blake Gallagher And The Butterfly Collective
Blake Gallagher And The Killer Ponies
Blake Gallagher And A Thousand Confused Faces
Blake Gallagher And The Volcano
Blake Gallagher And Space Pirates In Love
Blake Gallagher And The People
Blake Gallagher And The Electric Kites
Which do you guys like? :]
Ugh. Having your last name in an "and the" band is a bit narcissistic isn't it?
The only one of those you said that makes me not want to punch you in the face and then vomit on it would be:
Blake and A Thousand Confused Faces
Sorry if I'm being a bit blunt. I have fluid draining into my ear coz my stupid roommate went and got me sick. And these names just made it worse.
:P
...And The Butterfly Collective -- Too girlie
...And The Killer Ponies -- Sounds like My Little Pony or you all have pony tails...
...And A Thousand Confused Faces -- ???
...And The Volcano -- Were you inspired by a recent volcano eruption or something?
...And Space Pirates In Love -- Maybe a game name ... but not a band name.
...And The People -- Sounds more like a political slogan then a band name.
...And The Electric Kites -- Why not a yellow submarine?
Sorry, didn't like any of them.
Johnny Cotton and the Tiny Fitted Coats
Blake Gallagher and the Seventy Two Reasons Why I Lay Awake At Night Thinking About The Time In The Fifth Grade When I Made A Choice That I Could Never Move On From And The Real Reason That I Smile When I Smell Cinnamon.

AAAAAAHHHHHH! You're going to make me go insane with trying to figure out if you misread me, or actually took my idea of neighbours and turned it into something else:
<Blah> and the
noisy neighbours
Also, if narcissism is the goal, nothing can beat "The Best and the Rest".

I've just learnt that Bill Oddie's daughter is in a band called Rosie Oddie and the Odd Squad

Hillbilly and the Sister(mother)

Aljoho and the Should-actually-be-working-on-his-game-ers
Dennis and the Din makers (nostalgia - whoo! I wonder how many people, probably only English?, recognize this reference from their childhood)
I like the cake and the lie, but it sounds too similar to the sea and the cake, which is an actual band.
Gary and the Oldmen
Gary and the Newmen
Rick and the Wakemen
Edith and the Bowmen
Kent and the Brockmen
Hugh and the Jackmen

We've decided to go with, you guys'll love this,
Guybrush Threepwood.
Thanks to absolutely everyone who posted suggestions; in particular monkey_05_06, your idea of Just A Guy and His Brushes was what sparked the idea.
Love.
Just don't ever plan on going anywhere with that name. George (and his Porgies) will OWN you. :=
Spoiler
Lucas? Did I honestly have to specify that?
Science funk & liquor.
Yeah, I think "Guybrush Threepwood" is the worst name so far. Besides, to be true MI style, you'd have to tack "TM" on the end.
~Trent
That's not even an 'and the' name.
You've rendered your own thread meaningless :-(
It could be an "and the" band quite easily...
Guybrush Threepwood and The Secret of Monkey Islandâ,,¢
Guybrush Threepwood and the Fair Use Act
Guybrush Threepwood and the Law Suit
Guybrush Threepwood and the Epic Fail
Or if it's more to your fancy...
Guybrush Threepwood and the Important-Looking Pirates
Guybrush Threepwood and the Deadly Piranha Poodles
Guybrush Threepwood and the Fettuccini Brothers
Guybrush Threepwood and the Men of Low Moral Fibre
Guybrush Threepwood and the Citizens of Mêlée Islandâ,,¢
Guybrush Threepwood and the Mutinous Crew
Guybrush Threepwood and the Conscientious Cannibals
Guybrush Threepwood and the Death of Jojo
That's about all I've got, but I did only sample MI1... :=
Oh and Blake...if you keep this name and you don't do every single show in a nice fancy pair of pantaloons, complete with a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle in them, I'll sue you myself. 8)
Try: Guy Brush and the Threepwoods
or:
Guy Brush and the Three Woods
Good lord, hasn't this thread stopped yet
No? 8)
C'mon Andail, this is serious stuff. Plus we're all being creative, helpful, suggestive, critical, and not discussing religion at all. What more could you ask of Gen Gen? :D
If I was looking for a band name, I would use the video game name generator.
Always first class ;D

I know it may not be the most regularly distributed magazine in the world. but you can't use the name of a serious magazine as a stage name. You can do it the other way around but not like this!
Did you read this months issue? The periodicals were to die for! Literally!
