Re: Name The Emoticon Band
*You know: :band:
Carrying this over from the birthday thread:
BTW, is that the same band playing a song on every birthday? Those guys sure are party-animals...
[Hmmm. Yep, Rik. I'm pretty sure it's the same band again. :;): ]
Rik, Shaun: It's time we named the band, isn't it?
I mean, they're at our disposal 24/7/365. They don't even ask for tips. What troopers they are! Isn't it time we gave them a bit of respect by giving them a name?
My suggestion: Babaloo & The Musical Heads. 
(Babaloo is the drummer, of course...)

Re: Name The Emoticon Band
well... For me that's an easy one!
The Birthday Party!
That's my favourite band, former band of Nick Cave, way back in the early 80's, when he was pretty wild on stage. (never saw them, boohoo...)

Re: Name The Emoticon Band
Um...well, The Band does play other gigs here too, you know.
The band might get miffed at your seeming to type-cast them as a birthday band only.
They're at the ready and playing their little hearts out whenever something particularly exciting happens regarding a mission or a discovery, or even for a matter of personal interest.
A bit more recognition please. Teehee.

Re: Name The Emoticon Band
How about "Heavy Lift and the Boosters"? 
The word 'aerobics' came about when the gym instructors got together and said: If we're going to charge $10 an hour, we can't call it Jumping Up and Down. - Rita Rudner

*I like it! :band:
Hey--that wasn't me. The band just began playing spontaneously. :;):
-*-
"Terry Former and the Colonists"
Terry Former...LOL! Nice play on a word, teehee. :up:
(I didn't realize you'd posted here twice today; I was going to respond to your first message, which I thought was your only reply. Nice surprise to see that 2nd suggestion)

Distant runners-up: Lo-G and the Gang or Ecliptic.

Re: Name The Emoticon Band
Lord Vlork and the Yu Knights.
How about "The WalMart Allstars"? They remind me of those damn smiley-face "Falling Prices" signs they have all over the stores.

*Trebuchet, you gave me a chuckle at this ungodly hour of 4:20 a.m. (still in a half zombie-like state).
One of Cobra's suggestions:
Lo-G and the Gang
That was a runner-up? Great suggestion.
I've got a new one (The Band doesn't like my first):
Ares & The Zubrinettes.

Re: Name The Emoticon Band
Can they not be 'The Beagles'
Graeme
There was a young lady named Bright.
Whose speed was far faster than light;
She set out one day
in a relative way
And returned on the previous night.

*Hi Rik: I did the same with "Terry Former"...it took a second or two, then the light bulb switched on, ha ha.
M. Pakt and the Craters is really good.
The Beagles? Well, there's only 3 in our band...4 originally in that other similar-sounding band and now only 2 remaining. And our drummer has no nose...
