*The band "The Anal Cheetahs" (drafted as Band - XXVII) in the proper spirit of this, and in following the very few important rules of this league, has already named their band. As all the other band names get sent into the Council they too will replace the only temporary roman numeral naming.

Good Luck, Ladies and Gentlemen.
