hi, music obsessive just like the rest of you, 19, going into second year of university studying English Lit, love cricket, footie (soccer), reading music reviews, writing poetry, being darkly amusing, the completed works of legendary satirist Chris Morris, favourite music includes both Loreena Mckennit AND Fleetwood Mac, neither of whom are shite, Koko Taylor, The Basia Band, Swing Out Sister, early Carole King, late Ella Fitzgerald, The Electric Melissa Etheridge (all-too easily dismissed, actually. I have more to say about them at some point), Kassav, Françoise Hardy, Annie Lennox, XTC, early Roxy, late Pulp...etc etc etc...

I'm stuck :(

The powerful associative effect of names is often misunderstood. While fondly thought of, mammalian names are a mistake--unless one chooses a mythical beast. A wild animal is a graceful creature that needs no clothes or grooming to look spectacular, and your onlookers--their expectations heightened--will inevitably be disappointed by the oafish onstage display of whatever crew of humanoids you've managed to muster. "Oh dear," they will say, "they are nothing like wolves/foxes/etc." If one hangs sucha name on one's group, one is raising the bar too high.

Male groups with "Girls" in their name have a similar problem. In literature and film, the "girl" represents the reader's/viewer's pure self-image. The audience is supposed to identify with the "girl," who is innocent, brave, artless, attractive, and clever (e.g., Chihiro of Spirited Away, Pippi Longstocking, and Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz). Film noir is predicated on the opposite idea--that audiences like to identify with cynical, morally bankrupt, been-there done-thats. These roles are typically played by middle-aged men with five o'clock shadows (Humphry Bogart, Glenn Ford, Robert Mitchum). Most groups now resemble the stars of the noir genre, physically if not sartorially. Bands with "Girl" in their name are almost invariably these kinds of hairy and less attractive men. As a rule, then, males should avoid group names with "Girl."
