YOU KILLED MY FATHER, PREPARE TO DIE... [pr: yoo kild mahy fah-ther, pri-pair too dahy] - pronoun, verb, pronoun, noun, verb, preposition, verb :
Inigo Montoya is the inspiration for this band moniker. No matter what you do, you will not look as tough as you sound. Just ask The Murder City Devils. With this band name choice, you will surely be opening for And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, in no time.
OPEN YOUR EYES, ESSE [pr: oh-puhn yawr ahys, ess-sá ] - verb pronoun, noun, noun :
We think simply "Esse" will work also. This line is also lifted from a cinematic line, courtesy of "American Me". Either way, the irony of you being skinny, white, and not tough at all, adds some novelty your band. Your name alone beats up the contemporary competition. Sadly, Latinos will not flock to your shows. "Who you trying to get crazy with, 'Open Your Eyes, Esse'? Don't you know I'm loco?"
Here's a few bands we thought we created, but sadly already exist:
Grand Mal
Countach

Controversy = Exposure
9/11 [pr: nahyn ih-lev-uhn] - noun, noun:
Its taboo. Name yourself after the worst attack on U.S. soil, at your own risk. It will definitely create a buzz for you, we just don't promise the good kind. There's a good possibility the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck will have heard of you, if you proceed with this name...may even have you on their shows for a one-sided, screamy interview. We recommend heavy, instrumental, brooding music. Think along the lines of Trans Am. Too heavy and controversy inducing for you? Try using the name "The Evil Doers".
KNIFE PLAY [pr: nahyf pley] - noun, noun:
We picture this band as having Afro(hair style)-Latin roots. Think Omar and At The Drive In/Mars Volta. Tough sounding band name, in the ilk of Murder City Devils, or Pretty Girls Make Graves. Skinny pants must match the tightness of your rhythm section.
GYROMITE [pr: jī-rō-mahyt] - noun:
We're no copyright experts, but if you're a playful band that doesn't mind having a music career with a shorter glass ceiling, go on and name yourself after this Nintendo game. I never quite understood how it was supposed to be very fun?
CASSIUS BILL CLAY [pr: kash-uhs bil kley] - noun, noun, noun:
See what we did here?! The name Muhammad Ali's Mama gave him + Alan Rickman's notorious villain role in Die Hard. Your wisecracking attitude will make Fat Wreck Chords court you, like lonely, middle aged white men shopping for a Filipino Mail Order Bride.

A unique idea for a Christmas Party.
For those of you in L.A., looking for a little holiday fun, I urge you to check out this Facebook Page, for the Secret Santa Mixtape Party. Its a novel idea for a Christmas Gift Swap, making your own 'mixtapes', and you will get as you receive. There will be dollar raffle prizes, and all proceeds will go to help out the wonderful music and art venue, the Echo Curio.
And now, on with the band names:
CHIT CHAT [pr: chit-chat] - noun, verb:
Better have some Casio in your musical instrument arsenal. You need it, to open for LADYTRON. You should have some pretty sweet, angular haircuts.
THE GOSPELS [pr: gos-puhls] - noun:
Better you don't sound like spiritual music, in the sense of a Michael W. Smith, or DC TALK. You should have at least an heir of being pretty bad ass...you know, like Jack White? In fact, if you produce that dirty rock sound, you could even open for any of his band incarnates.
