Artmageddon Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Well I'm excited, and just wanted to share. After a few hundred choices, many quotes from the Hangover, and other stupid or offensive suggestions, my band finally came up with a name. I feel legit now:pThe name is SHALLOWTAIL.WTF right? Well, in our thought process, I was trying to think of something to tie us together, and thought about the Ohio flag(OR Tees put this in my head). The pennant shape of our unique flag is called a burgee. I suggested that, and got a resounding "meh" from the others, and the drummer suggested the other name for the pennant, which is swallowtail. Only he mispelled it(this was over email) shallowtail. We thought it was pretty damn cool. Random word, came about as a mistake, pretty much how a band should be named, so we went with it. So there's a small snippet of my life, and an inside look at how bands function. Let me know what you think. Shows should be coming in March. We're thinking Flanagans on Sawmill for the first, we know some people there. Hopefully OR can represent strong so we get asked back. We'll be recording some demos after New Years. I'll post details as soon as we know. Hope everyone has a good holiday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Is that the story you really want to tell Rolling Stone some day?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Yeah. I like it. WILDA'BEAST was prolly too strong a name if you're only playing panty dropper songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artmageddon Posted December 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Is that the story you really want to tell Rolling Stone some day?? Sure, why not? Or we could make some story up about some stuck-up bitch dicking us over. Whatever. If I ever make Rolling Stone, I won't really give a shit about a story about the band name anyway.

Cheech Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Sonic Death Monkey, or perhaps Kathleen Turner Overdrive.if all else fails, there's Everyone Gets Laid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Pretty cool. Shallowtail is a common misspelling of Swallowtail. And there isn't a band named Shallowtail, yet, that I know of. There are various band names that are Shallow something, but they don't count... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVTPilot Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Shallowtail rolls of the tongue nicely. I approve! Though I am hoping one day to have a band and call it Toasted Fruit. Just fuckin' because! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
