Band name

[Moros]

Okay,
I started a new band with some freinds. But like very new band we have no name yet. Well we've been thinking and our best idea (that wasn't too absurd) is saving antilopes. So what ya think, suggestions/opinions/....

Thanks.

[Craterus]

What music are you playing? Or trying to? ~;)

[Moros]

a bit like Brit Rock, but we'll play other stuff too. (I was thinking about a song from the cure too).

For now we play 4 songs:
Plug in baby - Muse
Sond to say goodbye - Placebo
Charlotte - Air Traffic
Evil - Interpol

Also I'm not trying atm I, can play my stuff alright. I've been playing almost a decade now, so.

[Louis VI the Fat]

'Tonight beer half price'

Should get you sellout crowds everywhere. :2thumbsup:

[Out]

You could go for a ridiculously long name, such as "You Can't Teach Old People Dog Tricks".

[naut]

Absurd names often get peoples attention, such as the Bread, the Screaming Panties, etcetera.

[CountArach]

'Tonight beer half price'

Should get you sellout crowds everywhere. :2thumbsup:
Haha! That isn't a half bad idea IMO.


the Screaming Panties
to be honest, I quite like this one. Yeah call me immature if you will, but it is an awesome name.

[Decker]

Seconded

[naut]

the Screaming Panties
I'm glad someone likes it. When I was in a band I threw that around, but they didn't like it and we're no longer a band. If I'm ever in a band again I want it as our name. :laugh4:

[Subedei]

Moros and his Phunky Phalangitai
ThE CHeerful Kataphracts
Prince Moros and His Occasional Drinkers

[Moros]

lol. Well nothing Rtw related, though.

We had some bizarre ones too. And we tried also finding a name by randomly picking names from the phonebook. Not a great succes though.

[Stig]

Randomly picking a name often works. I'm taking my English dictionary:
page 114 and 115, the words bushy and buttocks
And you get: The Bushy Buttocks
or page 789, the words rucksack and rude
And you get: The Rude Rucksacks

[Devastatin Dave]

The greatest band name I ever heard was Delicious Dick and the Tastey Testicles. I'd go for a color. Call yourselves "Grey". That would be sweet.

[UltraWar]

You Forgot About Poland!

[Myrddraal]

I think something like "Half Price Beer" or (in the UK) "Pound a Pint" would be a great name!

You'd have no problems getting crowds for pub gigs.

[Kekvit Irae]

"One Hit Wonders"
"No Chance In Hell We'll Get Published"
or my personal favorite: "Topless Women Get In Free" (that one will make you a hit with the male bar patrons)

[Odin]

Devastation Inc.

[drone]

Jack's Smirking Revenge

[Mikeus Caesar]

Purposely Offensive.

Then call your debut album 'Sneaking retards into sperm banks'.

Well, i think it's a good idea.

[Beirut]

About twenty years ago I saw a band in Montreal called The Merrick Trout Pact. Three guys in jeans and flannel shirts playing old Floyd and a long jazzy version of the original Spiderman music. How cool is that? ~:smoking:

[Craterus]

All the good ones are taken.

CR, I can't decide if I'm more impressed or disturbed by your creativity. ~;p

My two favorites in that list was The Federal Duck and Diminished Penile Sensation. :laugh4:

[seireikhaan]

Seargeant Pompous and the Fancy Pants Club Band.

From Shrek 2, in case it was lost on some.

[RoadKill]

Well, my band decided our name with a thesaruas. You'll be suprised how some words have Synonms that make the best names for bands.

Our band switched our names about 3 times
1) The Underpass
2) The Red Reaction
3) Killing Game

and now our name is Media Panic Control

[Incongruous]

Brit music aye?
Quaint.
I find that that always comes to mind.
London.
I feel that this would give you a unique level of publicity on myspace.
Jolly.
I like that one.

Basically what you do not want are names which abound in american youth bands.
Like The faint, the Calling and other such pompous names.

Brigands is a good one.
The Rogues?

[naut]

Sleeveless?

[Caius]

British Pirates?

[woad&fangs]

'Tonight beer half price'

Should get you sellout crowds everywhere. :2thumbsup:
I vote for either this or Kekvit Irae's suggestion of "topless women get in free". Good luck with your band.

[Moros]

Thanks, for the input.

Though I must say that some are even wierder than even I could think of. Which means verry wierd.

[Strike For The South]

Demonlust

[Ayachuco]

If you're having trouble finding a name, then call yourselves the Nonames

[Kekvit Irae]

Natural Male Enhancement

It'll be a hit with guys 50 and over!

[spmetla]

Rabid Sheep
Canadian Lumberjack
Moosetard
Snakestockings

Spanish Inquisition
1337
Combat Wombat
Czecherbored

Whole Nine Yards
Subpar
Heatsink
User Error

Roswell Incident
International Jew
Superfly
Neked

Red Baron
Tokyo Rose
Cleaning Carpets
Jugular

There, that's enough random band names

[Decker]

A bit like a brit rock band huh...
How about:
The Softies
Unmentionables
Tidal Wave

Or an Orgah favorite:
