New Back Up Band Name for The List

I love to keep watch for unusual and amusing band names and I like to keep a list of phrases that I run across that would make a good band name. For example, I always thought that "Walk Left Stand Right" would make a fantastic J-Pop band name. 

I also keep an eye out for cool backup band names. Some of my current favorites are 

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds 

Dave Insley and the Careless Smokers

Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives 

Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention 

This week I received a CD for an Austin singer/songwriter named Vanessa Peters. Her back up band name fits her angsty, frail coffeehouse style of folk music perfectly which is 

Vanessa Peters and Ice Cream On Mondays

To me that conjures up either somone who's institutionalized, probably against their will, and who has a very small world around them and a controlled scheduled such that having ice cream on Mondays is both indicitate of the regimented life and the small pleaures in that world. And the thing about it is, there's nothing in the words themselves that are a particular downer, they only indirectly point to a darker place. 

Or maybe Ice Cream On Mondays is simply a marker for child like enthusiasm. 

Either way,  or perhaps both interpretations combined, create a context and initial expectation for Vanessa's music.
