^ yeah

But I wouldn't use it if I'm into any kind of "psychedelic" music (I hate that term anyways).

I go under the nom de rock "Crotchthrottle." Because, well, why the hell not?

Actually, the full story is that back in college, some friends and I were all plotting fictional band names - the only one other than mine that I really remember was "Yucky Star." And maybe "Rok Galaktik," but that was also my friend's radio DJ name... I digress. "Crotchthrottle" came to mind, and I hung onto it, waiting a long-ass time before using it for a name on a Talkbass noise project. And then it sorta stuck. It's down there in my sig, if you look carefully.

Conveniently, I'll be releasing my fourth album in the next month or so...

Oh yeah, this was important to me. It also weeds out people who, you know, can't handle absurd band names.

I also dig Psyre.

I am also very amused by the suggestion Darnell Tyler III.

I still have that noise comp. Me you and Mudfuzz are all on it.

D'awwwwwww! Memories. It was a special moment.

Truth in typos, y'all.

As was I. I really had a blast making that track

Basically all the good posters from TBFX sans Excane.

Well, great input that keeps me right where I am! Haha

As of now all my music is ambient/glitch/psych. I do however want the freedom to expand on styles and be able to blanket it all under 1 name.

I agree that my generated MMORPG/forum handle is somewhat cool, but definitely trying for psych sort of stuff so I dismissed the idea a while back for reasons others pointed out.

I think my name allows me to change sounds and go with the flow, just worried a lot of people would think it's country or R&B or something haha

Definition wise, I guess my last name is pretty decent. Either means Grass or Hiding Place- to me it's means kooky Irish folk though hahaha

Use Darnell as your first name then make up a last name. That way its still you and you can create more of a focused aesthetic with whatever you use for the last name.

Darnell Bugmen
Darnell & The Bugman/Bugmen
Nervous Bugman/Bugmen

Chasing Bugmen

Haha great ideas! I really do like them.

Another idea is using the old English for Darnell-

Derne Hahl

Means Hidden Nook/Hiding Place

Just have to say you have a pretty bad ass name. Maybe cause it's exotic for me as a swede

I go under fcknoise when I do solo stuff. It comfy having a name that you relate to a certain style or sound, it kinda helps me get started easier.

You have loads of good suggestions now though!

I like this.

Ok so I'm late to this.. but and so and whatnot: The name I use - Koori Kuma is Japanese for Ice Bear, the original idea was to use the name Ice Bear but after googling I found too much to do with snow-mobiles and possibly hockey which were not things I wanted mixed up with what I am doing so I decided on Koori Kuma which has the benefit of being able to be read by anyone that can read Japanese or Chinese - 氷熊
