ชื่อวงนั้น ท่านได้แต่ใดมา
Franz Ferdinand
Franz Ferdinand are named after the Austrian Archduke whose assassination sparked the international crisis that led to the First World War. The band chose the name predominantly because they liked the alliterative sound of it, although in an early interview drummer Paul Thomson said: "I like the idea that, if we become popular, maybe the words Franz Ferdinand will make people think of the band instead of the historical figure."
Coldplay
Coldplay's name was donated by them by a fellow student at UCL, who had been using it for his group but didn't want it anymore because he found it too depressing. Had he not given up the name, Coldplay might have been called Starfish or Stepney Green. Interesting fact: Keane's Tim Rice-Oxley also studied at UCL - in fact, he was invited to join the fledgling Coldplay, but turned the offer down.
The Tings Tings
The Ting Tings are named after a Chinese former shop assistant colleague of singer Katie White's. The band have experienced much success in Japan, and were perturbed to discover that their name means "small, cute penis" in Japanese.
Snow Patrol
Long rumoured to be a reference to scoring cocaine, Snow Patrol is the third moniker Gary Lightbody's band have gone under. Originally formed in 1994 as Shrug, they became Polar Bear the following year, before settling on Snow Patrol in mid-1997.
CSS
CSS is an acronym for Cansei de Ser Sexy, literally "I got tired of being sexy" in Portuguese. The Brazilian band supposedly took their name from a quote by Beyoncé, although no-one has ever tracked down an interview in which she said this.
Bloc Party
Bloc Party only settled on their name after labouring under a number of different monikers, including Superheroes Of BMX and Diet. They eventually chose Bloc Party, but have denied any links to the Eastern Bloc or the Canadian political party Bloc Québécois. According to guitarist Russell Lissack, "It doesn't mean anything. It was simply the only name we didn't all instantly hate."
Friendly Fires
 Friendly Fires are named after a song by the cult post-punk band Section 25. We liked it because it didnt sound either indie or electro, explains guitarist Edd Gibson. We didnt want to be a the band. And it just looked good. But there is no meaning behind it.
Oasis
Formerly known as Rain, it was Liam Gallagher who suggested the name Oasis, inspired by an Inspiral Carpets tour poster which hung in the Gallagher brothers' bedroom. One of the venues the poster listed was the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon.
Klaxons
Originally calling themselves Klaxons (Not Centaurs) before dropping the bit in brackets, Klaxons were inspired by a quote from Filippo Tommaso Marinettis 1909 futurism text The Futurist Manifesto.
Noah and the whale
Noah And The Whale is a marriage of the title of one of the bands favourite films, 'The Squid and the Whale', and the director of said films name (Noah Baumbach). They are also fans of film director, Wes Anderson, who helped produce 'The Squid and the Whale.'
Death cab for cutie
Death Cab For Cutie named themselves after a song written by Neil Innes and Vivienne Stanshall and performed by their group the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band in the Beatles 1967 film 'Magical Mystery Tour'.
Kaiser Chiefs
Kaiser Chiefs are named after the South African football club Kaizer Chiefs, for whom former Leeds United captain Lucas Radebe once played. The band are big Leeds United supporters. Kaizer Chiefs are one of the biggest teams on the African continent, with an estimated 16 million fans.
Vampire Weekend
Vampire Weekend take their name from an amateur film lead singer Ezra Koening made as a student. It centres around the young Ezra fighting off vampires while wearing a mask. You can watch it by Googling 'Vampire Weekend trailer'. It doesn't look very good.
