New band name.

[leschirons]

Same old, same old yet again.

Change of line up, slightly different direction gig-wise. We need a name.

The criteria.

Ideally needs to be understood by both nationalities. (The French do use quite a few English words these days)

It's a covers band. We play a wide range of music from old French standards to Chic and Adele

Two Brits and two French. (Please don't suggest "Frogs & Roastbeef" ) and we're all middle-aged + (me being the +)

Don't mind a play on words but not too keen on humerous names so no "Dodgy prostate" type suggestions.

We're all from La Creuse, but can't use "The Creusers" (Although "The Creusaders" might get us a few more gigs

Suggestions welcome at my peril.

Although I suppose that would mean having to play 'smoking dans le chambre des boys'

I could offer to licence (for a grand total of nothing) a variation on my bands name "Groove Creuse"

Well,

Thank you all most kindly. There are a few there that would work, going to throw a few of them up for the band vote. Thank you for the input.
My apologies to Uncle Psychosis. We've already been Deja vu for 3 years and after we changed it, another band started using it.

Sorry Paul, that number is off limits. I think I had to play that in each Essex pub band I'd been in. It's my Mustang Sally Love the band name suggestion though.

Has anyone said creme brulee!

[BassTractor]

Les Coléoptères, a generic form of Les Chirons, and also never ever used before, in any language.

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

A drummer friend of mine ,was in a band called ' sans rien' ( I think that's what it was) . Apparently , it means ' nothing' in French .
How a bout 'he suis une c@ck star? ' as another late entry ?
