Nicko Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I've been with a band a while. The guy that started the band left and basically took the name with him (which is fair enough!). I'm really struggling to come up with a new name for the band which is a) not trying to be comical not pretentious c) not used by anyone else d) appropriate to the material we play We are a covers band, but basically play indie/rock stuff from 90s onwards. I've ave looked at a few random name generators but they're exactly that - random. Any ideas where I can find inspiration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lw. Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Pick an obscure lyric from one of the songs you do - obv not a chorus or title though as it'll make you look like a tribute act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Or try using the search function to look for the last few times this has been asked.

ezbass Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 My perennial suggestion is - Post Burrito Depression (my favourite from Tony Levin's list of unused band names http://papabear.com/miscpages/bandname.htm ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4-string-thing Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I was once in a band called Private Party, which was the worst name ever.... Not only did we suffer lots of jokes about private parts, but people saw the posters and thought it was a private party.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonky2 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) I once put forward the name "the sweaty champions" , allthough it was an apt descprition of us in full flow, it didn't make the short list.... Neither did "the Deirdre Barlow experience"..... Edited March 18, 2015 by Wonky2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'm going to have to go through some of these old band names threads as my new project is as yet nameless and there is a push to start looking at venues so prospective LL's will need a name and we've not hit on anything really catchy ourselves yet.
