Help me pick a name for my acid folk band.

Aloha AGS peeps.
So my psychedelic folk band has been happy to record under silly, nonsense names so far. But now we actually have a gig in a couple months, so need to settle on a somewhat cool name. We've come up with 3, but are utterly unable to decide on one. If you lovely chaps would be so kind as to comment on which one/s you like, that would be marvellous.

1. Leaf House
A song by the freak folk band Animal Collective, whom I consider a major influence.

2. Pinball, 1973
Taken from a novel by Japanese author Haruki Murakami.

3. Magic Eyes
Just a coolish name I came up with.

Thanks in advance

Number 1

1 or 3, but definetly not 2.

PsychicHeart · Sun 08/11/2009 08:46:06

Yeah, I don't really like Pinball 1973 myself. I'm definitely leaning towards either Leaf House or Magic Eyes.

Yeah, Leaf House is ok I guess, don't know much about bands that do acid folk. Here's a random band name generator, if you're looking for inspiration: http://www.bandnamemaker.com/

Acid Hemp.

Leaf House... obviously...

Peder 🚀 · Sun 08/11/2009 18:56:53

Number 1 for sure!

Matti · Sun 08/11/2009 19:00:15

Leaf House.

Atelier · Sun 08/11/2009 19:18:13

I fifth Leaf House.

discordance · Sun 08/11/2009 19:22:21

Pinball 1973 is the perfect band name.

Kidding, of course, Leaf House rules.

I like 'Magic Eye' (notice, I prefer it without the plural 's')

Not quite feeling 'Leaf House', and number two is just rubbish.

HillBilly · Sun 08/11/2009 20:37:30

Go with Pinball, 1973 for the sole reason that no one likes it. The others are average at best and invoke no feelings.

Al_Ninio · Sun 08/11/2009 21:02:13

Espers.

... Or yeah, Leaf House.

Tuomas · Sun 08/11/2009 21:13:50

To me, nr 1 & 3 sound both very cheesy. Band names like that are never good, no matter the music you make. Try Genesis for one. The 2nd suggestion is in my opinion the best and would also be obscure enough for one time listeners to remember. I personally find 3rd the worst.

What about "Magic House of Leaves"?

Matti · Mon 09/11/2009 01:00:08

Acid Pinball?

Fluke, your user name would be perfect.

Scarab · Mon 09/11/2009 02:39:38

*Leaves Magic House*

My keyboardist also suggested either Bear Cave, Bearcave, Bear Caves or Bearcaves.
We've decided Magic Eyes isn't so good, nor is Pinball 1973.
So it's pretty much either Leaf House or Bear Cave/Bearcave/Bear Caves/Bearcaves.
Help us decide?
