stephaniet17 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Hi guys, My band is finally in place, we're making the progress we want to and everyone is clicking well. The problem: we have no name. A couple have been thrown around and the singer has written countless lists of ideas that just...aren't quite right. I need ideas from people who are fresh, funky and not too emotionally involved! Our sound is a mixture of gritty southern rock, funk and soul and I'd love the name to reflect that. Just struggling for ideas! Any help HUGELY appreciated Peace out. Quote

redbandit599 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Got a river near you? If so just stick it's name in place of the X in "The X River Rapids" or Rusty Truck Rapids sounds cool to me. Quote
YeastieB Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 When I think of southern rock/soul I think about Muscle Shoals. Not sure that hasn't been already used or punters would connect with? Quote

Dan Dare Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Get a dictionary, open it random and choose the first word you see. Then do the same again a couple of times and perm them. Might get something good, or perhaps not... Edited August 22, 2015 by Dan Dare Quote
Old Man Riva Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Mississippi Johnny & the Swamp Crawl Deluxe You can be Johnny and the rest of the gang can be the SCDs. Edited to say: Just heard MJ & the SCDs have split... now known as JJ Martell & the Dirty Gumbo Band (not to be confused with JJ Hunsecker & the Sidney Falco Express)..

MoonBassAlpha Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 If I ever form a funk band it will be called Clusterfunk, so you can't have that! Quote
