    Default Band name

    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.

    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".

    Haha! That isn't a half bad idea IMO.

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

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

    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.

    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.

    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
