Band Name

I have decided on a name for my band that I will be filming in my music video. It has taken quite a while as it's not been as easy as I thought it was going to be. There are so many bands already in the music industry and it's difficult to pick a name that is different to other bands and that actually sounds good. I even tried using a random band name generator to create something a bit more unique. I have chosen this band name as it relates to my research that I collected. Bands in the industry that I have looked at such as Vampire Weekend, Various Cruelties and Two Door Cinema Club are known for their very unique random name. The names relate to the type of music as it's quite individual and that what indie rock is. Some bands tend tp ouse lines from films they particuraly like or a name of a film that sin't that well known. Vampire Weekend chose their name "Vampire Weekend" from the title of a short film project Koenig worked on during the summer between freshman and sophomore years in college. While home for the summer, Koenig watched a 1980s vampire film 'The Lost Boys' and was inspired to make a Northeastern version of the film in which a man named Walcott travels to Cape Cod to warn the mayor that vampires are attacking the United States.
 
I have chosen the name 'Ten Times A Week' as it is a quote from the Icecream song performed by two character in the film Big, starring Tom Hanks. I have chosen this as it is cryptic, has a kind of cheeky quality and is associated with an anagram of 'twat' which gives it an edge of tonque in cheek and could also bring out the humour in the teenage boys personalities.
