Although Waters released The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking in 1984, and toured as a solo artist promoting that album (with an unnamed supporting band), he was still a member of Pink Floyd, and did not leave the group until late 1985.
The name of the band most likely comes from the phrase "the bleeding hearts and artists" found on the tracks "The Trial" and "Outside the Wall" on Pink Floyd's 1979 double album The Wall (an album which Waters was heavily involved in and wrote most of).
His first music as an ex-member of Pink Floyd was several contributions to the soundtrack to When the Wind Blows. It was for this soundtrack album that the band moniker "The Bleeding-Heart Band" first appeared.
