I remember hearing the term "endoplasmic reticulum" in a biology class in college and writing in the margin of my lecture notes that The Endoplasmic Reticulum would be a great name for a psychedelic sixties band. So what other scientific terms would make great band names?

Total Harmonic Distortion
Signal-To-Noise Ratio

I had a bunch a long time ago, but these 2 were my faves because they were audio terms.
I could never get any of my friends in bands to go for it.
They always kept with their own stupid (in my opinion) names.

I was (briefly) in a band called Total Harmonic Distortion back in 1992. They were a bar band in Northern Virginia (right outside of Washington, DC) and they decided to add a horn line. I was the trombone player.

I don't know if it's a truly scientific term, but I like the sound of "Complete Cellular Reorganization". (It sounds like it *could* be an authentic scientific term anyway.)

Osmosis

Great choices. How about a combination called Gene Splice and the Macronutrients? And it seems like somewhere there must actually be a band called Osmosis.

I used to play in a practice band called Simple Harmonic Motion.

It's not a scientific term, but a sound effects collection had a track titled "wet, squishy splats." A friend thought that would make a good name for a band.

In the meantime, don't forget Roy G. Biv and the Bright Line Spectrum Band.

In my company we used some computers years ago that had a network component called "Low Order Gateway". Always thought that made for a great band name. smile

Entropy

Inertia
Incised Meander
Fault Line
Pyroclastic Flow

Inertia sounds like one of those groups that has nothing but contempt for the audience and most of the time can't get up the energy to bother to play (or just does long drawn-out jam sessions that lead nowhere). Pyroclastic Flow would be great for a psychedelic band, the kind that projected moving blobs of color on the walls while they performed.

Thanks!

It was fun, but they kicked me out because I skipped some rehearsals to go out with my girlfriend. I suppose everything worked out OK in the end, since the band broke up, and i've been married to that girl since 1995.
