Krazy/Killer Band Name Of The Week: SUNN O)))

Just like the Key & Peele sketches about the names of football players, creative spelling can get you anywhere. 

Take Seattle, Washington experimental noise/drone metal band SUNN O))), for example. Pronounced simply as 'Sun',  the band name is a graphical representation of the logo of the famous SUNN amplifiers, which consists of the name SUNN, followed by a circle and three 'sun rays' fanning out to the right.

Stephen O'Malley (guitarist, composer and producer) has stated in several interviews that the SUNN O))) also is also related to drone music pioneers Earth. Stephen is also to have joked that the Sun revolves around the Earth. Ha-ha.

Another fun fact: SUNN O))) formerly went through life under the name Mars. This, plus their music does not prove that there's life on Mars, but merely that the band members probably indulge in some form of recreational-and-somewhat-herbal drug use.

This theory can be solidified by reviewing the names of the SUNN O))) album catalogue: Monoliths & Dimensions, The Iron Soul Of Nothing, Candlewolf Of The Golden Chalice, La Mort Noir dans Esch/Alzett, Flight of the Behemoth, ØØ Void...

But they're not all deep and dark all the time! No siree! They have a romantic side too (I would love to find out if any, ANY couple has made this their first dance):
