Band names
Chris Johnson
somehow he ended up using the name- now I've been going nuts for weeks
trying to come up with a new one. Needs to be cool but not offensive. Clever
but not cute. Something that works for bars and pubs but can still use with
the agency that books us for more upscale gigs.
I cant believe how hard this is. Every one we come up with I Google and
there's always someone, somewhere already using it. Sheesh
Of course I've been thru this before, but Google wasn't around then and I
just used whatever sounded good and I'd never heard of. This world is
getting too small in some ways. I mean, it's pretty unlikely that some
obscure band from Bumfuck, Iowa is gonna find out or care if I take their
name, but I may as well try to be original...
Chris.

duplication it's not your fault since you didn't 'chose' your own name. For
example if your drummer is Bob Huge you could use his last name followed by
yours. ;-)
I just wouldn't use the 'Bumfuck' one though, lol.

I hate my bands name. I didn't think of it, I never liked it. I've been
stuck sorta with it for 10 years. The goof that did think of it got
kicked out of the group in year one before I inherited the outfit. But
we had jobs and weren't headed to the big time, so it didn't seem to
matter.
A better way, in my duo, we go by our two first names. That is so easy.
When this current band fizzles, I'll never pick a band name again. I'll
use some version of my and the other members names.

Keep trying. It's a challenge, but a satisfying one when you hit on
something good. And it's so fortunate today that we have the internet where
we can find out immediately if anyone substantial has the same name, not
like the '70s and '80s where you might find out only after you released your
first album, that someone else has the same name!
Also, don't be afraid to go abstract. Back in the late '70s, we got the name
THE... VERS off an old garage where BEAVERS was painted across it, and the
garage door was slid off to one side.
Our fans kept a dialog going as to what it meant. One said "I figured it
out! It stands for Vibrating Exotic Rock Show, right? Another said "it's
German for "verse" a reference to your dedication to songwriting." Another
said "it's French slang for "worms, right?" while wiggling his thumb in
front of his crotch.
I preferred to simply say that bands had already proven that you can name a
band anything, and we were proving that it didn't even have to be anything.
In more recent years, I've come up with "theXpairOmentals" and "the CRASH
TEST TICKLES" (is that 2 nuts?). I figure a little controversy is a good
thing; it gets people talking about you. We occaisionally have to play a
family-oriented club billed as "Rob and Zoid" as an alternative, but it's
really not a problem.

I'm trying to remember the guitar player I was working with when I lived
around Ft. Lauderdale. First name Glenn (his last name is on the tip of my
brain), a little heavier-set, balding, he played a '69 Strat through a Super
Reverb, very blues oriented, lotta Stevie Ray... Wouldn't be the same guy,
would it?

on a Wed, so I wanted an easy costume. I wore a priests costume that I just
had to put on over my black jeans & T shirt after setup and easily put away
after. Thought nothing of it until I came back to the bar a couple months
later and on the marquee it says "FATHER JOE" . He even had it on the little
table ads in his OTHER bar next time I went there. I laughed at first but
then told him it wasn't a good idea to entice people to come
drinking/partying to a religious figure. So he put my real name on the
marquee the next time and after my first set I sat down with some regulars
and they all said they had wondered who was playing this weekend. Hell, if
they'd known it was Father Joe they'd have brought more friends. I can't
win.
Name recognition......something to really think about.

Yes but that only works if you're the frontman/leader. Also, how many bands
have you been in? Trying to find a consensus is real hard-thus the need for
more than 1 favorite.
I always laugh when I see one like "The Bob Smith Duo" . It's like the other
guy doesn't exist. (Or hasn't been hired yet)

I try to come up with interesting/funny names, preferably a word that
'plays' with something that sounds similar.
In danish (sorry) we have a word called DRENGESTREGER which means something
like 'boys pranks' and I came up with the similar looking/sounding word
STRENGEDREJER which means something like 'string turner'. A great name for a
guitar band but sadly someone had it taken already.
Maybe you can use the idea for something.

place to stay. On the marquee it said "Room with a View $10". I new it
sounded TGTBT but we went over to check it out anyway. It was a band and the
guy at the door talked us into it since the 10 bucks included a couple beers
or so. The band sucked but it was a neat venue and the warm-up act was 2
brothers on vocals and acoustic. They were fantastic and really set us up
for a real let down with the headliner. At least it gave us extra time to
find a decent motel, lol.

Hi Chris... I realise you're not actually expecting to find a name here
but felt the need to share what I found to be the 'worst' possible
name! A band in Sussex, UK called themselves 'No band here tonight';
the lead guy was a bright fellow, an English teacher as I recall, but I
couldn't fathom his workings or steer him away from his brain-child; he
just thought it amusing.
Regards,

Sets', but have never been able to get any takers on either. ( and
certainly not in the sense that just popped into some minds here ! )
I personally like 'punny' names, but not everyone has the same sense of
humour ( and some people are just thick and won't understand the name
anyhow ).

big.

There was a group here that called themselves the "Great Western Orchestra"
and was only 2 guys - keys & gtr/mandolin. They had a tv special and part of
it profiled their tour of China. Something in me thinks that part of the
reason they got the tour was the 'orchestra' name. I wonder what the
Chinese thought when the group showed up. They showed footage of venues
where a symphony would play and everyone was dressed formal and there's just
these 2 guys playing simple folk and cowboy tunes. I laughed my ass off.

gigs thru the agency, I'd ask if I could use one of them. My bass player
came up with a great punny name that I love- Better Nate than lover. I
haven't actually ruled that one out- so no one steal it please!

interesting connotations vs a lame one but one that has easy recognition.
"What's his name" is playing this weekend means you chose the first type.
Sometimes the safe boring one gets you more gigs.

I was Bj Biscuit and the Good Gravy band briefly until the club owners said
it was too much like advertising lunch. I keep threatening hubby with
becoming the whoop-t-doos.

business like name. I would generally choose one that is good on a marquis
and entertainment listing first over the clever one but if you can find one
that hits both.....
