I've always wanted to know what would happen if you started a band without a name. I know bands like !!! have tried it before, and ended up with a name anyway. I would want to take it to the next level. "Hello we are . Thanks for coming out tonight!" It immediately solves internet piracy issue. How does one google nothing? I would only release music on clear vinyl in a clear sleeve. Prince tried it by replacing Prince with a symbol, which failed miserably. Just imagine all the awesome conversations that would arise. I would assume in order to discuss it people would have to refer to us as "that band without a name" which in turn, would become our name anyway. Still though, I think it has promise.
I wonder if anyone has ever replaced a band name with a hand signal or better yet, gang sign. It would have to be something abstract enough so people would not be able to attach words to it. Think about it for a moment, music that appeals to the deaf. Maybe I'll start a band in which the name of the band is simply a middle finger. I'm sure its been done, or at least attempted. Probably with not-so-good results.
