Help Me Name a New Band

Audio Friends,

I've joined a band. We have gigs on the book, but are sorely lacking a name. We'll be a 4-piece playing mostly instrumental improv funk ala Herbie Hancock, the Meters, or Medeski Martin and Wood. An internally-imposed rule is that the name should _not_ contain musical or genre descriptors like funk, groove, pocket, etc. Or numbers. We appreciate irony. A couple of near misses so far:

The Safety Meeting
Suitcase of Courage
The Vague

Let's throw some more stuff against the wall and see what sticks! Have at it.

Feynman, Schwinger and Tamonaga strikes me as a fine name for an irony loving 4 piece combo.

This is the trio that won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1965. The name is both obscure and fully detached from anything relevant to your music, while simultaneously demonstrating that the band has both historical perspective and wide ranging intellectual curiosity.

You might as well aim high.

Good Luck with the band.

Slipknot,

Good idea, but already taken by this Kokomo, Indiana cover band:
