It’s time for another Top Ten list from That Artsy Reader Girl. Today’s topic is “Titles That Would Make Good Band Names”. I went through the list of books I’ve read and reviewed first, then to my TBR to round out the 10. Below is my list, in no particular order, with minimal discussion (because why justify titles that struck me as decent band names?), with a bonus at the end. There are some with words in parenthesis, because the band name should be without those words.
Landry Park by Bethany Hagen
(Blessed Are) The Misfits by Brant Hansen
His Name Was Zach by Peter Martuneac
Gemma and the Mites
This one does require a little explanation. The series is called Nanostealth, and none of the books are title what I listed above. However, in writing my review for book #2 in the series (Stealth Power), I used the phrase “Gemma and the mites,” and knew instantly it would be a good band name. So it was the first thing that actually came to mind for this TTT, even if it doesn’t exactly fit.
(The) Gray Chamber by Grace Hitchcock
(The) Dead Girls Club by Damien Angelica Walters
Synapse by Steven James
Redshirts by John Scalzi
(An) Illusion of Thieves by Cate Glass
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard
BONUS #11
Outcast
Yes, this is sort of cheating, since there’s already a band called Outkast, but I still thought it was funny that it worked so well.

What do you think of my band names? Link your TTT post so I can check out yours!
A Journey of Words 
Redshirts would be a fabulous name for a cover/parody band.

It was definitely the one that jumped out at me the most when I was looking for titles for this list!

The Landry Park cover even looks like a 70’s-era album cover, honestly. Redshirts sounds like something you’d find in a dinky casino that’s off-Strip and run down. And they’ve somehow formed a Star Trek tribute band and… I think I need to lay off the caffeine.

Debs & Errol were fairly obscure in their time, a geeky duo from Canada. They’ve since broken up, but they did another Star Trek-related parody: https://youtu.be/6BHBUfXH7y4

I like Landry Park. It makes me think of Linkin Park.

So true! Maybe that’s why it seemed so perfect to me, though I didn’t make any conscious connections at the time.

Sounds like it could be quite the band, doesn’t it?
