I mean, is my user name a good band name? Cos I'm starting something which needs a name, and I'm wondering if this might do. My only other idea just now is The Wife.

Anyone can use this thread, after the first half dozen 'no's, to request similar advice.

I like The Wife.

And the AMG doesn't have a band called simply the Wife in its listings, so I think you're good with that one. It does, however, have:

Trophy Wife
Astronaut Wife
Katastrophy Wife
Readers Wife Fan Club
The Beachmaster and His Wife
Leave My Wife Alone

yeah it's not bad. There is/was already a band called The Wife (i have a cd single of theirs somewhere, it was ok)..

but don't let that stop you (i certainly didn't, when i came to choosing a band name)

Who are they? When? Where?

a single called "treat yourself", about 18 months/2 years ago. never heard of them after that. you could probably safely assume they're defunct.

UK band, britpoppish

"Eyeball Kicks" is quite a good name but perhaps too similar to French Kicks? I dunno.. band names are a thorny proposition

They have a website. Bastards. That's a good name gone to waste on a measly three singles.

Leave My Wife Alone

That's a GREAT name.
