A lot of us have played in informal, unsigned / unpublished,  signed and published, even imaginary bands over the course of our lifetimes. I'm just curious, purely for entertainment sake, as to what some of your band names were.

Mine were: 

The Squirms
Moths
The Lobotomy Brothers
Billy Bob & The Deaftones

Demonster - Not active anymore. Genre: A very mixed bag (My first band, we were just doing covers in various genres, from 12 Stones to System of a Down; Moonspell to Dio; Stratovarius to Cradle of Filth, haha.)
Celestial Asylum  - Still Active. Genre: Prog-power metal (We released a demo in 2004, and are working on our first full-length album.)
Knightmare - Active but with another vocalist. Genre: Heavy/power metal (We released a full-length album.)
Outland - Not active anymore. Genre: hard & heavy (We did some covers generally in hard & heavy style: Black Sabbath, Scorpions, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Skid Row, Iron Maiden etc.)

I played in 2 hard core punk bands in high school:

1984: Idiotic Behavior
1985-86: Balance of Terror

Graduation year BOT shifted gears to a more crossover metal style and became Paradox

I did a few industrial sample head songs under the name Jesus Fish Superstar Wars.

Great word plays! I feel as if I've heard of Youth in Asia. Is this possible?
Your stylistic forays have been quite diverse!

Youth in Asia was used a couple of times actually, about the same time as we were using it.  There was a punk band with that name and also a no wave band. 
 
Our version of it was 7 of us that were majoring in Broadcasting at the University and we played locally mostly.  This was around 1979.

Is it related to "SIX without "S" is 9 (IX)"?

Not sure, was Azma originally humor at all (I wasn´t at first in it), I think it was kind of contortion about Asthma. But anyway the band members haven´t ever been absolutely serious (it´s a punk band). Vomit Blues Band came when one of our band member was vomiting after drinking too much (it was not me).

Dark Secret (my first band in high school, the 80s)
The Ice Water Blues Outfit (a college thing)
The Blue Sign Factory (a duo, also originated in college, and has continued off-and-on to the present day. 2 albums on Bandcamp that I’m very proud of)
Hell (me and my keyboardist friend improvising original songs during breqks from college)
Lexus Test Drive (basically me and my friend getting stoned in the late 90s and making up crazed songs& skits)
Rare Goat (an actual band for which I sing & play guitar. Latest was a music video for “Rocket Launch Caroline”)
My other avatar is a Porsche

Some names that were suggested back in school for our ‘band’ -
A Noise Annoys (yeah, good one Smitz, wherever you are....)
Fretboard Abacus - though every time we jammed it would be something else.

and the current project I’m sometimes involved with - Eyes of Etherea.

Limpid Green
Bat Lenny
The Square Foot Facility
At the time we picked Limpid Green it was the mid 70s and the Syd Barrett version of Pink Floyd was practically unheard of here so it was a pretty obscure phrase. We were 16. Made awful noises. Revived it about 10 years ago, improved a bit.
Bat Lenny came about when somebody tried saying Jack Benny and it came out wrong.
The Square Foot Facility didn’t last long but I liked the name.

Thanx! Just noticed there is another Blind Pilots at the moment, founded in 2018. Also one troubadour name "Blind Pilot". Our band was in 1992-96, we were playing some kind of stoner thing (bands main songwriter liked a lot that time bands like Monster Magnet, Kyuss etc.). I played bass and sang few of my songs. Originally band name was Dischord, but I quess there was a same name band that time so band leader wanted to change name into BP.
