Owl City…

…is a shite name for a band. You would think that someone who deemed themselves to be gifted with enough creative talent to play their dross in public would perhaps be a little more inventive than that wouldn’t you? I mean, the band name is pretty much the first thing you notice about a band isn’t it? It makes requesting their latest seminal offering to wipe your arse with a lot easier, after all.

Here are some band names that I have just pulled from the front of my mind that crap all over that band name (in the interests of fairness too, I did that thing that free-writing thing that Haley Joel Osmond does right before he lets Brucey now he’s a deader…)…

Kill Hayley Joel Osmond
The Dead People
Bruce and The Demi Gods
Dead Girl Under The Bed
The Passed Sense
Your Pissing Bravado
You’re Dead Like Hayley’s Tamagotchi…

See it’s well easy, and I can’t even play the wooden block!

However, Tom Williams and The Boat IS a good name for a band…and they’re playing here…naturally.

The Joy Formidable

Remember this? I don’t. Looks like it was a lot of fun though.
