Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup of book bloggers hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week, we’re talking about book titles that would make good band names. I do enjoy picking out phrases that I hear and thinking they would make good names for musical acts, so this one seemed like fun!
Daisy Jones and the Six: I’m cheating, this is the name of a fictional band already, but there’s no denying that it works really well!
There There: Can’t you just picture a chart-topping single by a band called There There? I see them as an indie rock style group.
Anthem: This would be a band that did like stadium rock music for sure.
The Black Dahlia: The Black Dahlia would definitely be fronted by a Lana Del Rey-type nostalgic pretty girl with a similar interest in Old Hollywood iconography and throwback-style tunes.
Twilight: A female singer-songwriter type who wants to be mysterious about her real identity.
The Interestings: This would be very self-conciously quirky indie music that would have like one big hit, one minor hit, and then tour small venues forever.
Abhorsen: I could definitely see a European DJ touring under this name.
Speak: A teen pop girl group, right?
Native Son: Native Son would be a rap duo who consciously chose to reference this book because of its message about race relations and makes very socially aware music.
The Lowland: It’s been too long since we had a Boyz-II-Men style R&B group and I think this would be a great name for one!
