merciful-evans Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 What are your band names ideas? I thought of several band names in the past and discovered they are already used. Yesterday I thought of more. Three of these are already taken: Sloper / Wet Leg / Dirty Kitchen. If my song collection (think album) is ever finished, I was going to use the name Unwise Bill and the Squawking Gentlemen. That's safe, so far...

Pinch Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 We have to pick one this fall... Not sure we'll use our actual names anyway. Being "offensive" is SO the noughties, but... **** do I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearbasher Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) There's a hamlet in eastern Pennsylvania called Skinners Eddy. I always thought that would be a good band name. Two fictitious band names I like are The B-Sharps from "The Simpsons" and The Loaded Diaper from "Diary of a Wimpy Kid".

saturn Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I'm always coming up with what I think are great band names. But I usually end up forgetting them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 One of my old friends once jokingly told me his stage name was Jesus Martini. Using the same Biblical name/Booze format I came up with Zebedee Brewdog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prison warden in the Netflix show Orange Is The New Black was in a band on the show called Sideboob. That's funny too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 The band I was in way back changed names once to twice a month. I've mentioned this before. I'll try to recollect some.... Magic Lamp( well, it was the '60's) Skidmark Post Natal Drip Electric Heat( from a sign on a mobile display of electric home heating options by the Detroit Edison Co.) Tempus Fugit( from the other guitarist's grandfather clock) Ethereal Deal Head Cheese Trojan Horses 12th Street Riot Band (12th street in Detroit was the epicenter of Detroit's riot of '67. The street name has since been changed to Rosa Parks Blvd.) That's all for now Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 In my opinion stick with Unwise Bill and the Squawking Gentlemen but divide it in half and be either Unwise Bill or Squawking Gentlemen. Shorter and easier to type into an online purchase site :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 My first Band was "Shaft". Several years befor ethe movie came out.. Should we have sued them? LOL!!! Then there was, Break Of Day, The Lake Bottom Blues Band, Riz & The Rats, The Larson Brothers Band, The Fab-Tones, The Glenn Michael Rogers Band, Analog Sky, The Phantom Teardrops, The Redondos & several others I'm forgetting... If you think you have an original name for a Band look on Youtube.. Chances are somebody already has it.... Good luck finding something really Cool & Original..

gearbasher Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) My brother's band was called Detroit Locker. Their first gig that was advertised, the club owner mistakenly listed them as Detroit Cockocks. On a slightly different note. 35 years later, my brother started a business. He was torn between a bicycle shop and selling musical instruments. So, I told him to make it a combination bicycles and musical instruments and he can call it The Minstrel Cycle.

saturn Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 In all seriousness, I would name the band differently depending on if you're planning to be a bar/cover band or an originals band trying to achieve actual success. If I was trying to actually be a full time band and make a living, I probably wouldn't pick some cutesy, flippant, or play-on-words name.

The Beatles were named after a bug, but spelled with an A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
