Colourbox?

( Andy_R At the third stroke, the time will be precisely, Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:01, archived)

Don't think that's a band.
The band it's supposed to be were pretty famous, and rocked pretty hard.

...and of course "Pump up the Volume" by M.A.R.R.S., which was Colourbox + A R Kane

Haha..
I think this is like the opposite of ambient synth music.

Pinkred?

The actual colours

I was thinking 3 Colours Red
But the green fucks up that theory pretty royal.

Like I said
the actual colours aren't important.

If you check my others.. this band are probably the most famous of the ones I've done so far.

bandnames3.gif?

( urbane legend i have known the inexorable sadness of pencils, Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:07, archived)

Me too.
But I named it after them just to confuse you.

Man.. maybe I was a little too cryptic with this one..

^this
I didn't get either of the others until someone told me. And even then, I'd been told. So I didn't get them.

(rocks pretty hard) AC/DC?
(sabre-tooth monkey, Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:09, archived)

No..
Ok.. a clue.

It's a punk band.
(imnotplayinganymore Like a rock. Like a planet., Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:10, archived)

Ah... I think I get it.
It's more how well the colours fit together than the colours themselves?
(sabre-tooth monkey, Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:12, archived)

I think you do get it.
Tentative points to you. :)
(imnotplayinganymore Like a rock. Like a planet., Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:12, archived)

oh, god...
the clash
( plentyofants more ghee, vicar?, Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:14, archived)

Yep :)
sorry!
(imnotplayinganymore Like a rock. Like a planet., Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:15, archived)

spang! spang! spang! spang! spang! spang!
i like the way, after that clue, we all went for it at the same second
( plentyofants more ghee, vicar?, Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:18, archived)

I know..
I'm surprised nobody got it sooner.

I'll let you off because it's late.

More tomorrow.
(imnotplayinganymore Like a rock. Like a planet., Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:19, archived)

It's lunchtime here
Good work though. Will watch out for more tomorrow.

Well (don't click if you want to guess yourself)
This?
Edit: Boo to the post above me...
Edit 2: And the post below me...
(sabre-tooth monkey, Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:14, archived)

yep..
but someone just said it.. I think you still get points..
(imnotplayinganymore Like a rock. Like a planet., Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:14, archived)

the clash?

( urbane legend i have known the inexorable sadness of pencils, Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:14, archived)

Errr ...Squarepusher?

( Ttssattsr Hurry, potato delicious., Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:08, archived)

No..
the shape's not really important either...

Try thinking out of the other side of your brain?
(imnotplayinganymore Like a rock. Like a planet., Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:09, archived)

So not the shape... nor colour...
When it's just coloured shapes?

...HMM.
( Ttssattsr Hurry, potato delicious., Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:09, archived)

Yep.
It's more a concept, or the thing as a whole.
(imnotplayinganymore Like a rock. Like a planet., Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:11, archived)

Is it an album by someone, rather than a band?
The Foo Fighters' "The Colour(s) and The Shape(s)"?
(sabre-tooth monkey, Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:11, archived)

Nice try. :)
You're all going to spang me to death when you get it.

I gave you a clue up there ^^
(imnotplayinganymore Like a rock. Like a planet., Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:11, archived)

the three degrees?

( plentyofants more ghee, vicar?, Thu 13 Dec 2007, 1:12, archived)
