Title: As seen online... band names?
Post by: Alps on September 24, 2010, 04:14:58 PM
"some streetnames are good band names. seriously"  Based on this partial, malformed quote, what street names do you know of that would be good band names?  Be a little creative here.  Shades of Death Rd., for example, lends itself nicely.

not a street name, but the town named in your avatar would be a great punk rock band.

They could do a set with Courtney Love's band.

EDIT

Also, after fighting their way through constant substance and other forms of abuse, they could re-form the band and look to Gwinnett County, GA to reflect their struggles: Beaver Ruin Road

I don't think Dream Street was named after an actual street, but there nonetheless do seem to be a few streets by that name out there.

For a Big Easy Beatles tribute band:  Elysian Fields (Ave.) Forever

EDIT

Inspired by Dover Road in Buckhead GA (Atlanta, not the one toward Augusta on I-20): Dover Soul

The Gap Band was named after three streets in Tulsa (Greenwood, Archer, Pine.)

You'd think someone would name a band after Oklahoma City's Triple X Road.

I know these are not band names, but is there a First and Amistad, as mentioned in the Fray's "You Found Me"? Also, what about a street called Allison Road, the title of the Gin Blossoms' mid-90s hit?

Not a street name, but the control city of "The Yorks" on I-95/Maine Turnpike exit 7 BGSs would be a neat band name:

Not a band, but maybe that's where Vin Diesel got "XXX" for his 2002 Xander Cage movie.

I was looking earlier at a link devoted to the history of freeways in San Diego and California 94 is (or at least was) called the Helix Freeway, which made me think of Helix, the band. They were a 1980s metal band out of Canada.
