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.

What music are you playing? Or trying to?

Reply
Moros 21:28 09-16-2007
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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

"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)

Purposely Offensive.

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

Well, i think it's a good idea.

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?

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

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?

I vote for either this or Kekvit Irae's suggestion of "topless women get in free". Good luck with your band.
