A thread for the creative projects that you never got off of the ground.

I'll start.

The Righteous Ones - Anarcho-Punk, Neo-Soul
The Anarchist Aristocrats - Glam Cabaret
The Children's Crusade - Volk Metal fronted by a Feminist with a fascination with Joan of Arc
Being and Oblivion - Experimental Rock and Roll, two-piece relationship band
The Eighth Wonder of the Natural World - Hyperdrone, every synonym for Psychedelia
The 38th Parallel Wildlife Refuge - tacit Post-Rock, but given another set of genres on bandcamp
The French Resistance - Situationist inspired Jangle-Pop
The Pax Romana - Anarcho-Pacifist Post-Hardcore

Telepathy - Surf, Dream Pop, and Psychedelia that features an electric mandoviola. The madoviola has a humbucker. The name of the model of the instrument is a Telestar.

You don't have to share your secrets, I guess. Thanks, though!

Go for it! I'm not using them and don't quite believe in intellectual property.

Dunno if any of these jokes will land, but

The Dithyramblers - Bluegrass band meets Kiss and Gogol Bordello
Pat Mastelotto Plays An Ostinato - King Crimson cover band that only plays 90's Crimson
Uncle Laura - freak folk/harsh noise
