Looking back over my less than glittering musical 'career' I was thinking about some of the names of bands that I have been in...which brought a smile to my face...so I thought, for amusement, I'd list them here with their musical genres.. some names might bring a smile...
I can't say I was happy with most of them..but naming bands is usually a collective decision unless you walk into an existing 'unit'
so here comes my embarrassing history
Loaded Dice - classic rock
Gestalt pop-rock (the rhythm guitarist was German..hence the name)
Paradox - 70s rock meets new wave
Nell's Little Oranges - jazzy-funk
Sample & Hold - another jazzy adventure
Mac & White - new wave/avant-garde
Soul Trader - serious soul/funk
Chillin' Out - acid jazz
Trenchfoot and Thrush - manic punk metal.. not a serious venture I hasten to add
SweetPea - a collective music project - soul/jazz/funk
Masquerade - very pro function band. good earner but I was selling my soul..
Anyone else care to share?

Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
A mate of mine was so inspired by the band 'Gay Bikers On Acid' that he called his own venture:
'Lesbian dope-heads on mopeds" .. inspired!

Black Vömit originals, "food metal".
Roadhouse (ho hum) rock covers. Competant, but soul destroying.
Angelic Afterbirth a pal's metal band I helped out in for a few months. A rehearsal brought the immortal comment "Can you play so it doesn't sound like Keith Richards?"
Lixarto originals, hugely entertaining for me, mainly as I wrote all the stuff. More line-up changes than Rainbow.
(some solo stuff here, usually billed as The Amazing All-Elastic Zap The Lizard Floorshow)
8 More Days original duo. One of us was a dick. Hmm.
Mind FX (First band. Originals and a bit Policey)

The Dog's Bollox (Raucous pub rock band- Thin Lizzy, Dave Lee Roth, Y&T, Bryan Adams, Jovi etc)
Crowded Fish (Crowded House/Jellyfish tribute)
The Vapor Corporation/TVC (The second generation of The Vapors of "Turning Japanese" fame and my one and only serious/pro band)
Band With No Name (Great band with 3 guitarists - West Coast/AOR band - Eagles, Steely Dan, Doobies, Toto etc)

Rhubarb & Costas for one gig and quickly changed to Good Times ( My own funk function band)

Toxxic Waste - Metal covers when I was about 14. We used to use lines from The Young Ones for lyrics for our original songs.
Berseka - Thrash/punk band who later became Salem Orchid and subsequently Akercocke.
Blind Blonde - My indie period. Recorded some good stuff with a girl singer.
Snug - More indie stuff - played a few gigs supporting Gene in the 90's.
Throat: Slashed - A death metal band which lasted fone pub meeting and four rehearsals.
1888 - A solo metal project which as with most things I do, I lost enthusiasm for quite quickly.
