band names with less than 4 characters

ok, how many bands are there with less than 4 characters in their name? so far we've got...

* u2
* air
* can
* 3Ds

only bands with a release allowed, and you can drop the 'the' (as per the 3ds entry), which, I suppose, means I can add...

* the

to the list. any others?

does a-ha and d-12 count?

what if they go by an ancronym? does sml stand for something?

ohh, nice.

yes to a-ha and d-12, as I imagine they get abbreviated to aha and d12 pretty regularly.

ah, just thought of one more...

* ash

oh yeah, and acronyms are fine too, as long as they're commonly used. Which leads me to...

* ELO

AFI

not that I'm a fan or anything.

although, a band that inspires this sort of fan fiction must be doing something right...

"Did you mean it?" Hunter asked as he trailed his fingertips up and down his lover's naked torso.

"What are you talking about?" Adam asked, looking down at his boyfriend of over two years.

Hunter met Adam's eyes. "When Davey was over earlier, you guys were watching VH1 Classics and the video for 'Rebel Yell' came on and you told Davey that the only famous guy in the world you'd want to have sex with was Billy Idol. Did you mean it?"

Adam looked away guiltily.

"Did you?" Hunter asked again. There was no emotion in his voice, and he hadn't stopped the gentle motions on Adam's chest.
"It isn't what you think. I'm not going to fly to England and hunt down Billy Idol for a good fuck. Not without you, anyway." He was obviously trying to make light of the situation.

"That's good to know." Hunter said lightly, then he added, "You know, Billy Idol actually lives in Southern California. Somewhere in LA, I think."

Adam was worried. When Hunter was angry, he yelled. When he was upset about something, he sulked. Hunter was giving out no signs of either emotion. The only thing he sensed from the blond was lighthearted curiosity.

AFI don't count, they aren't even humans

tell that to the fan fiction writers (and watch your head get ripped off)!

Davey's mouth gaped open and he moaned, wriggling a bit. "God, Jade. You make me so..." he groaned and kissed him harder. Every moment he spent with Jade made his feelings for the other boy increase. He pulled up Jade's shirt and moved to kiss at his stomach, biting and sucking there as well.

He acts like I'm so bold but he brings this on himself...Jade thought, watching his own shirt come off as if watching it happen to someone else. Does he think I'm just not human, like I'm not going to respond? He shook his head. He must be from another planet...a very sexual, I know what I am, sort of place. Jade began to laugh at his own thoughts. "You don't know the half of what you to me sweet—!" Jade bit down on his lips as Davey's tongue found his navel.

That's given me the ... er ... urge to write some local fan fiction.

any suggestions for potential subjects?

Bic Runga and Anika Moa have been mooted in the past.

Howzabout the boy characters?

That's a good enough starting point, I reckon! If I gave a crap about Idol this year, I'd write more of that (cos who could forget Jesse waggling his fingers in?) but since all I ever talk about is Rockstar, all I care about is IceStorm/Stagni.

Go Magni!

* CCR
* BTO (Bachman Turner Overdrive)

And, then there was the short-lived pseudo-Cream project of the mid-90s: Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and Gary Moore, known as...
* BBM
