Our first name was Azalea, just because it sounded nice. Then we thought a band covering Spooky Tooth, Family, Rolling Stones, Who etc. must have a tighter name, so
we became "Aivoaine" (Cerebral Substance). That was around 1967-68.

My first band's name was Naked For Jesus. I think it came from a Kids In The Hall sketch.

We were a great band, old-school punk rock with acoustic guitars, a drum machine, and a smooth female soprano vocalist.
The band's downfall came not from the name, but from the singer (also my girlfriend) dumping me for a homeless guy at my birthday party, and then getting insecure when my choice for a cover song was Iggy Pop's 'Loose'...

I think it was "Look Right"... and I can't remember where we got it from. I think from the streets in the UK, but I'm not 100% sure. Can anyone verify that for me?

We were garage rock / grunge... wow... this is kind of fun.

Mine was Jet Black. Me, a 16 year old drummer, with a 23 year old guitar player and a 30+ year old bass player. I still remember a few of our tunes and still like a couple of them.

I had always wanted to use the name Emanon, which is 'no name' spelled backwards. I'm sure somebody's used it by now though.

Sacrilege. However, for our first "gig" - we stopped for a beer on the way home from a rehearsal, and the bar was having a "talent contest" - we decided to use a pseudonym, as we didn't feel we were quite ready for prime time. So when the MC asked us what the band name was, we huddled for a minute, and came back with "Mainline O.D." He actually introduced us as "The Mainlines".

We didn't win...

1st band name:

J.R. Freshwater



LOL


we were in high school, just barely, playing jr high proms and sr. dances and whatever...

we'd break into the high school after dark on friday night, and steal the school jazz band's amplifiers and PA system, play our gig, then break back in late that same night, and put it all back.


heheh


we thought we were 'entrepreneurs'

I started out very young! From when I was 13, piano n vocal (soloist) as part of a 'youth concert group' (can't remember the name) that performed weekends at various places around Sydney (Australia), consisted of musicians and dancers. Mainly to help raise money (charity) and other causes such as disabled children (example: paraplegics, quadriplegics)

Soon after that... first paying group was 'Trans Haven' formed in 1978, performed at various venues, clubs and outdoor concerts.

A State of Mind ....we were 14 years old....complete with flourescent painted drum sticks, guitars and drums to be illuminated by black lights for our last song.

Walter Ego. We had T-shirts and everything.

Sigh.

'The Model'.

Yep.

Followed by 'Satisfactor E' (briefly, thankfully), then 'The Stance'

Last gigging band was 'Jumpwagon', which I quite liked.
