Band name suggestions please....

[colleya]

My new band is at the pre-gig 'what shall we call ourselves?' stage, so I'm after some Basschat collective wisdom for ideas.

 

The general style is really laid back, funky versions of soul/90s R&B/pop tracks.  Waaay outside my previous experience.

 

Some of the set list tracks are: 

 

Here's a clip from last night's rehearsal to give you an idea of style.

 

For those of you like me, who will be wanting to know - Sandberg Cali VM5 -> HX Stomp -> Ashdown RM 500 -> GR Bass 2 x 10.

 

All ideas welcome, they've got to be better than mine!

 

Cheers,

Andy

Soul/Funk (seems to be the set list staple?) -

 

We did 2 similar bands

 

“Covert”

”Reissue”

 

on the same train of thought 

 

Re:Soul

Souled Out

Souler Powered 

 

Something like that?

 

[AndyTravis]

Teenage Dirtbag threw me though - is it a soul/funk rework?

From the video I'd say Blue Windows.

[colleya]

@AndyTravis yeah. Not sure if it works with everything else yet. We're still at the pre gig-filter 'try everything and see what sticks' stage.

Can't think of anything better than 'Pre-millennium Groove', but I would definitely go and watch you if you played around Cardiff.

I think the band want a name that fits all of us, not just me.......

[Doctor J]

Erotic Funk Chariot

[Bolo]

Anton, Bill, Murph & Victor 

 

Since you're playing covers you'll never do headline tours or sell records so the name just needs to set you aside from all other coverbands. You can replace the names with your own but if anything it'll be less rememberable (as a gimmick). Keep them in alphabetical order though, it pleases the OCD crowd.

I like that a lot. May limit you to two gigs a year but...

GrooveHeart, GrooveHeartBeat, something along those lines. However, I will also proffer my usual suggestion, from Tony Levin’s list of unused band names - Post Burrito Depression.

[Quatschmacher]

Soul Trader or Soul Trade (meant to be a pun but also unintentionally has slightly satanic/human trafficking undertones)

Rescue Flares (almost an exhortation as well as a pun).
