And as my contests always are, this one is simple and easy. Why? Because I like it that way.
WHAT YOU DO: Suggest a band name.
WHAT YOU WIN: An ebook of your choice off my backlist, plus you will be acknowledged on the dedication page of the book containing the band you named.
Band details: This is a rock band, so pretty much anything goes. The last time I used a band in a book, I called it Schadenfreude, and another band in the same book was called Flogging for Coffee, so believe me, I'm all for goofy, off-the-wall, weird, puntacular...use your imagination!
Anyway, the band is a six-piece, all-male hard rock band. I'm still playing with ideas for their image, and the name of the band might ultimately decide if they're grunge, emo, eyelinered, whatever.
The Rules:
- Leave a comment with your name, your e-mail address, and your suggested band name by January 31, 2012.
- You may enter as many times as you want.
- I will select and announce the winner in early February.
- If there are multiple awesome names, I reserve the right to select additional winners whose suggestions will appear in the form of opening acts, rival bands, etc. Those winners will receive prizes and acknowledgments as well at my discretion.
Seltzer and Cyanide.

I always thought "Fate and the Vampires" would be a hilariously awesome band name. But I guess it probably doesn't work for a guy band. ;)

Okay, I'll story. I'm amusing myself with this way too much, but I doubt any of those are actually usable.

Hexagon. (Since they're six band members.)
ReplyDeletePolygon. (Similar to the previous but implies polyamory. Yeah, baby!)
If they're goth, it could be Polygoth. :)Or Hexagoth. :)
