Bands I was in never got further than the "take some instruments round to someone's house, jam for a bit and then get stoned" stage. None of them even got as far as a name as far as I can remember.

I formed a band with a guy on my night school class.
I played rhythm guitar & did the drum machine (Roland TR707) and he played lead guitar. Shortly after forming, he sold his house for a massive profit so he went on a massive spending spree at a music exhibition at the NEC - bought a Limited Edition Les Paul for a grand, Cramer Sustainer, another grand, porta studio, big amp, effects pedal set-up, I think he spent about 4 grand in a matter of a few minutes!!!!!
We started out as Crossing The Rubicon (that was Before Rubicon formed from The Nephilim split).
The bass player wrote the lyrics but we never had a singer to sing them. They were actually quite good songs though, Nephilim sort of sound
We eventually got a female singer, I left the band, her bofriend took over rhythm guitar, she changed the name of the band to Scarlet and they started sounding like All About Eve in a matter of days!!!!!
They had one support slot to Every New Dead Ghost that I went to. Don't know what happened to them after that.
I had been warned by her brother not to trust her!!!!!!!
That was the only time I've been in a band.

Have done a gig or two with a couple of friends as Organism back in the late nineties. Nothing was rehearsed, everything was improvised and boy did we suck. But fun times, nevertheless
in dub we trust
I was in the grandly titled Cherry Blossom and the Flower Fairies, a long time ago:

Oh I've vaguely remembered one:
Many many moons ago, what is now Oporto on Call Lane in Leeds used to be a pub. I don't remember what the pub was called, but they would occasionally have live bands.
One particular alcohol fuelled night when we went to see a few bands there...
One of the bands was Leeds's (in)famous Isobel's Shrine whose set I continually heckled with "Martin Martin show us your cock" until eventually Martin responded with "shut up Mark you fat twà t" to general hilarity at his discomfort. Martin wasn't particularly popular on the Leeds "scene".
Another of the bands (whose name escapes me) involved the lead singer being carried onto the stage in a coffin (a bit creepy as it turned out, he was killed not long afterwards (a car accident I think)) but I was one of the pallbearers. My one and only time on-stage with a band.

Something Swan, aye, that's right.
Dead Sex definitely rings a bell, yes!

I played triangle and lead nudity in our band Brand Names Of Mayonnaise. We disbanded after we all realised that everyone wanted to be lead nudity.
I saw my mate's band Mr Jolly there, supporting Dead Sex. Same gig?markfiend wrote:Something Swan, aye, that's right.

There was some rumour about "Jolly" being killed in a car crash. I first heard that when they (Mr Jolly) were a no-show at Rio's in Bradford and I didn't quite hear if they said "Johnny" (the bassist) or "Jolly" (the band). Years later I found out that Johnny was not dead, but had moved to Barnsley
It might have been a euphemism for the band splitting. Mr Jolly, that is, rather than the Dead Sex singer. I'd lost touch by then, anyway. This was around 1993 or 1994, I think.

A whole bunch o' punk bands. And something else...
When my dissertation is done, however, I'd really love to play old-fashioned country music. My biggest musical obstacle is lyric-writing: I find that I've got very little to say that lends itself to rhyme and meter... (Lucretius I'm not).

I have never been in a band, although I aspire to do so one day soon. I've even got slogan stickers on my black guitar and if that's not a substitute for talent I don't know what is.
Nationalise the f**king lot.
