seashell Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1360717768' post='1975501'] I have actually watched quite a few episode of Dad's Army, but never that one. Funny though. I must get a watch of that episode at some point! [/quote] Yes you must! It is the classic Dads Army episode of all time!

seashell Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1360702027' post='1975133'] Gerroff, those names are for the OP! [/quote] I baggsie Sugarshack! If I manage to get this band off the ground with my girlie singer friend we'll be looking for a name. When we did the Xmas concert at the music academy we were introduced as 'the adult band'! This was to distinguish us from the day students who were doing BTECs and such like - but it made us sound a bit suspect!! Then one of the young female students called out 'They should be called Rouge cos they're all dressed in red'. Singer and I had deliberately arranged to be colour co-ordinated, so I'm glad it was noted. Anyway, we are now using Rouge as a working title. I think it's a great name but possibly a bit girlie if we have a couple of lads in the band (as is likely). I think Sugarshack sounds cool for a mixed male/female band!

[/quote] You're welcome to it, of course - but if you Google it, you'll see it's not available! Sugarshack would have been our number one choice otherwise, it's a great band name. I think the two-word version 'Sugar Shack' has gone too. Most decent names have. We practically had to come up with a random string of words just to get something that hadn't already been taken.

Lozz196 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) One of my old bands was called The Gorgeous Heroes, purely for the irony. The pic in my - is it avatar - is from those days, so it`s easy to see there was nothing either gorgeous or heroic going on, certainly on my side of the stage. Unfortunately not everyone in the band managed to catch on to the irony, so it kind-of backfired.............

BassTractor Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Dunno how to advise. My head is always emitting band names. Other than that, that same head gets [s]inspiration[/s] copy craving from ... er ... everything. Like: See a funny roadsign? --> band name! . . "The North / Hatfield" just waits to be used for a band name one day. Watch and see! Special family name? ---> band name! . . e.g. "Quaars-Liebrechts", my experimental band once upon a time Poem title? ------------------> band name! . . e.g. "Quand je te vois" or something similar - poetic music to existing poetry. etc etc best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamtheelvy Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 We had weeks of emails flying back and forth. I think eventually we all just got tired of it, so the first thing that somebody suggested that we didn't hate was the one that stuck!

iamtheelvy Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Well, we liked Threesecondrule, but that was taken, as was Fivesecondrule and Tensecondrule. So we changed it to Threesecondfool and it stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Our singer had a massive list of band names that he'd thought of at random occasions over the previous few years. We sent that out to our fans, asked them to pick their favourite 3, compiled the results, and from that day forth we were A Little Bit Outlaw.

I'm in a band called Barabajagal and we have been mis-spelled many ways. Perhaps the most feeble effort was Brabber Jack. [/quote] I was in a band called Filthtones (yes it was very appropriate).
