10,000 Fake Band Names

When Brian Whitman was working on a paper on the human evaluation of artist similarity, he needed a way to eliminate bad results — “robots, users just clicking randomly, and people that didn't know the bands presented”.

So, he wrote up a quick script to generate band names for him. Ten thousand names later, they’re now listed on his webpage. Some of my favorites:

  • Track Botanical
  • Toad Shin
  • Roulette Defenestration [you knew I would include that one ;)]
