Over in the TextDrive forums today, I discovered a contest being held at Interknox to name a band. If you pick the winning name, you get a pre-release copy of the band’s album.

My suggestions seem to have gotten stuck in IK’s moderation queue thanks to all the links, so you won’t find them in the comments just yet. They’re listed below, so that you may marvel at my awesome creativity ;-) :

Elemental Pornstars
For some reason, this is the first thing that occurred to me as I was listening to the demo track that was offered for inspiration. Appears to be completely unused by anyone (no Google hits), perhaps for good reason.
The Riff Gypsies
I like the sound of it, but I’m pretty sure there’s a band named The Gypsies already out there.
Hammer ‘n Tongs
Has a nice double meaning that goes along with the band’s sound, but is already used for the name of a UK video production company.
Flabergast
Doesn’t seem to be in use by a band, at least not according to Google.
Flabergasm
The word is out there, but not associated with a band. Drawback: makes the band sound like a group of fat fetishists.

Head on over to the Interknox post about the contest, download the demo track, and take a shot at naming that band.
