I'm starting an indie-folk band called Allah and the Ackbars

[caketastydelish]

I'll be the singer/synth player. We need a DJ, a drummer, a bass and a rhythm guitar player.

We'll also need some backup belly-dancers that smoke hookah. We're not going drive a bus or airplane to go from gig to gig, we're going ride camels. Speaking of which we'll need some camels and camel drivers as well.

I've already came up with our first lead single "Mohammad" off of what should be our first album, Profit for a Prophet.

Any takers?

It's spelled Akbar without a c

 

[caketastydelish]

Akbar without a c already has been copyrighted and trademarked by the great prophet (peace be upon him).

We will need a large canvas or vinyl sheet, preferably with tie down grommets, to protect the gear. I would order one but I can't remember what they are called.

 

[Arakhor]

Surely your first album should be entitled Prophet Motive instead? It's a snappier title.

Ackbar with c has also been trademarked by an even greater prophet, though I think it is great that you want to form a band praising our lord and saviour George Lucas.

I have no way of comparing, but I'm also fairly certain our lord and savior Lucas also made a greater profit.

I can't help but think this is a trap....

1: Jesus
2: Islam
3: ??????
4: prophet!

It's Admiral & The Ackbars!

Indie before the dreaded Locke

 

[Kyriakos]

How about naming the band as Al and the Bagdadis?

 

[Zkribbler]

Jesus and the Disciples? ...or are you doing this to mock someone else's religion?

Lucifer and the Fallen Angels?

 

[Leoreth]

How about naming the band as Al and the Bagdadis?

Now I'm thinking of a Married With Children version with Al Bagdadi instead of Al Bundy.

 

[CavLancer]

I predict this band will explode!

If at least one person in the band actually gets assassinated by extremists, I think you'd explode in popularity.

Not sure if that's what you should be hoping for, tho. Well, I guess if you're popular enough, someone might kill you anyway (think John Lennon).
