Surely if this architecture thing doesn't work out, you could always fall back on your true calling in life, which is being a rockstar. After all, you still own an acoustic guitar and you know all the major chords. Arch. dropouts Pink Floyd and Talking Heads did it, so why not you as well?
Back in school we always wanted to start a boyband called SteelStuds, but lack of talent, time and dancing coordination got in the way.
Other names that popped out:
-The Caulk rocks (lots of riffage)
-Dr. Slab and the Penetrations (motown R'nB)
-The flying buttresses (this one actually existed)
-The thin redlines (art rock)
-Bituminous Damproofers (gutter punk)
-Rain Screen and the Principles (Bruce Springsteen cover band)
-The woof scuppers (reggae)
-Lynch 'n' Learn (death metal)
-Deathcad for monkey (indie)
-Mos Def Xref (gangsta)
-The hydraulic lift (whiskey fueled Irish rawk)
-Clouds of revision (christian/spiritual)
