Our real name is "Instep of May." We aren't a band, we're a chain of shoe shops.

These are some of the most amazing things I've ever read! This is the best thread. Please write more stories, I like to read them. And I'm expecting the adventures of Bobbley next! He's the raddest dude.

News Update:
Bobbley the pixie has announced that he shall resign from hunting u down.
He believes there is no need for his spying anymore as you all seem to have bonded with the name (IoM).
Just remember that whenever you hear the wind rustling in the leaves of an old birch tree... Bobbley is near by...
Whenever you see a baby smiling gleefully, remember Bobbley in all this glory. Then walk away cringing cos kids are yukkie.

Lizzie played keyboards in a band called Instead We Ride Horses, Katie rapped in a band called Of and Charlie and I recorded songs for an internet emo project called M. A. Y. which stood for "My Apple Yellow" (well, we were emo, after all).
After we got together, we combined our names.
Instead of Yellow
Of My Ride
Apple of Horses
These were just some of the ones that didn't make it.

Instead of May sounds more upmarket than Instead of Tracy

(Damn, this thread is dying a death...)
The other day I was writing out a calender, including dates for both my exams and Charlie's. I had to re do it because I'd put some of Charlie's exams in June Instead of May And that is a true story, it happened last night... But isn't why we're called IoM, obviously.

No!  *sticks fingers in ears and hums loudly* I don't want to know! It would ruin the game! Besides, what makes you think the horse story isn't true? ;D |

It's something to do with "may" in te e e cummings poem "maggie and milly and molly and may" but I can't think what.
I just posted the poem in the Art Section. Go and read it.

On a cold, wet day in the early 1960s, the band were waiting at a bus stop. Peff began a conversation with some of the lads stood waiting with them, only to discover that they were a band too!
The bus was very late, and somewhere along the line, the bassist of the other band took a fancy to the band's name. A prolonged game of arm-wrestling meant that they lost their name 'The Beatles', but gained the more imaginative name 'Instead Of May'. Everyone left happy with the exchange.

oh oh! *only just found this thread* maybe may stands for mad animals yap. and then the whole band realised this would be far to oriental and perhaps slightly odd so they 'westernized' and changed it to may! those corporate bastards! etc hehe  |
