OldGit Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) Simon Armitage summed it up nicely in the extract from his book on forming a band in his 40's published in the Guardian magazine recently Read the whole article [url="http://books.guardian.co.uk/poetry/features/0,,2179554,00.html"]here[/url] but here's the bit I'd go on endlessly about Google it before you think you've found the answer ... " Every time we do find what we think is a decent name, it turns out that it already belongs to a neo-punk band from Ohio who, even if they haven't released any records as yet, have a sw***y website, have patented the brand and registered their trademark, and own the domain name. " Check myspace too ... Edited October 9, 2007 by OldGit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigd1 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 A good way I have used is, each member of the band brings a book to rehearsal, player 1 chooses a page number, player 2 paragraph, P3 line & P4 number of word along line. It can be done a few times till you come up with something you like. I was in a band called "Dr White & the heavy Bleeders" in the late 70's, don't think you would get away with it now. Still makes me smile though. Taz very glad BIGd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 It's got to be the most irritating thing to do with a band...choosing a name, nothing sounds good, it's been taken and slowly but surely it all gets quite ridiculous, we do anyway We recently changed our name, took us ages to settle on something and still it sounds stupid, although when we googled it and checked myspace nobody had taken anything along the same lines. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing drums in a band, just for fun, and we're called the Premature Ejaculators. We thought we'd be the only ones, but there are another 2 bands out there with the same name! Grrr.

Deep Thought Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Me and my mate got to the stage of driving down the road shouting out anything we saw-'The broken down vans!' 'The National Speed Limits Applies!' 'The Dead Rabbits!' 'Toads crossing!' etc. Didn't come up with anything but it was an approach I suppose.

Tait Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='71726' date='Oct 9 2007, 06:07 PM']Many years ago, the Jonathan Ross show had a big funk band on called... "Steve Naiive & those rocking sailors on the psychadellic sea of groove!"[/quote] yeah, but I wouldn't really take a name from a band on Jonathan Ross. after all, his current band on the show are called "four poofters and a piano".

Never a dull day (shortens to the nadds haha) Hmmm, Band the?[/quote] The skydiving penguins. Sounds good to me. Another way to think up a name I heard about was to listen to your favourite band (or one playing similar music to your own) and either take the name of a song or a phrase from a song.
