how does it look?childish enuff?well,we r indie kids,so Penguin makes us looks weirdo.



not sure how to react :)

Guess it's no worse than 'Pink Flamingos' or 'Face in Stagnant Water'.

Only thing I keep in mind for band names though is how easy it is to find your band using Google. If you get really popular people might have problems finding out info about you. Like, I started out calling my band Kevin Taylor and ending up getting 100,000 results showing lawyers and chefs so I changed it to Schmange. Now I know fer sure that any results are 99% mine. (except for this fat chick in Philadelphia who keeps stealing my name :cool: )

Maybe change your name to 'Pinguin' so there's no confusion?
