Okay, have any of you guys saw, heard, or read a band's name and thought, "Wow! That's such a cool name! It's so unique." Well, when I hear bands like that I always want to find out about how they got their name. I'm really a nerd so it should be no surprise to any of you that I do in fact enjoy researching, horrific I know! lol But in all seriousness, here are a few names of some bands that you may never have heard of, and some bands you may have heard of, that fall under the umbrella of 'Unique': here are their stories....
- Heyhihello!- This band of five hottie boys came together a little while back. Though the members now are not the originals, for the most part they have not changed their style. The actual name of the band came from the lead singer's dad. His dad use to say "Hey, hi, hello" when he answered the phone or met his friends.... and the name just stuck to them like Gorilla glue to....well.... anything! lol
- Owl City has been propelled into the fame spotlight by funky synthezied pop songs like "Fireflies", "Hello Seattle", and "Galaxies" just to name a few. Owl City is really a one-man-band headed by one Adam Young. He has let his Christian (yay) faith influence his music and is from Owatana, MN. This is why he called his project band Owl City and has never looked back!
- Family Force 5 is perhaps a very well known Christian band that does not sound at all like any normal quote-un-quote Christian band many have heard through the years. This band of 3 family members and 2 others have took the world by storm for their most noted style of presenting the gospel. They are an all-rock-crunk band with a heavy apetite for screaming, singing and loud instuments. Their stage performance has been said to be "Off the hook crazy!" and their songs have been labeled "Christian genius!" Their name came about as a change from their original band name The Phamily. They were told that due to copyright issues with Prince's band name The Family they needed to change it, Family Force 5 came about and they've loved it ever since!
- Last but not least, Franki Valli and the Four Seasons. Wow, this all-american man band was the most popular band before the Beatles. The name was changed from The Four Lovers the The Four Seasons and Franki bought them out and they put his name on front! Not much to tell about these amazing singers, only that they played and sang everything under the sun! These guys really are Hall of Fame material as they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 which later joined with the Vocal Group Hall of Fame 9 years later in 1999. Franki Valli still lives and is touring too!! I think he needs to slow down a little though.... lol :D
So tell me what other bands you found with crazy or unique names! I'd love to read about them, just drop a comment and leave you name so I can check you out.... wow that sounded a little immature sorry! lol Anyways comment and stuff and I'll post all y'all later!! PEACE! (my ghetto fail!)
