Kevin Dean Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 So I'm getting involved with forming a Stranglers tribute band getting lots of suggestions for a name & Jet Black himself suggests a name ...do you use it ? I'll tell you what it is later . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Vincent Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Almost certainly, simply because it gives the band a bit of credibility before you've even done anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Unless of course the name he suggested was 'The Shittiest Stranglers Tribute....EVER!!' If not then I'd say yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Why not? Gives you a bit of credibility before you've played a note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzbass Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 yes grab that name before someone else does, whatever it is ! all the best, sounds like a lot of fun, love that grindy bass we played Hanging Around and Peaches in the ol days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Peaches and no more heros are epic but there are loads more I would love to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Steve Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 kind of depends on whether it's better than the others you can think of - if you have to explain to people why it's not a terrible name because Jet suggested it, well, most people aren't going to ask, they're going to think you've got a terrible name. Plus, does he genuinely think it's a great name or was he drunk/feeling mischievous at the time? (though given your location you're begging to be called The Gosport Stranglers, surely) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Dean Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 His first suggestion was "Tank" He said there is nothing wishy washy about that name .......But there is a band with that name I think . His second was "The Wranglers" & "No More Zeroes" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimryan Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 You lot want to get yourselves on the Hampshire bass bash thread. There's more and more PO postcode basschatters than I realised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 His suggestions being a bit meh... how about "Named by Jet"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 My friend is in a string quartet doing Stranglers and other covers. They call themselves the Stringlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I think I would go with No More Zeroes. It's not a bad name and I do reckon there's some mileage in the endorsement by Jet Black. Of course, there is: Nice'n'Southsea Golden Browndown Let Me Down Eastleigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
