Yet another band name suggestion thread

[Leonard Smalls]

I've recently joined our old guitarist to form a new funky slightly jazzy blues band, we'll be doing mainly originals and so far have me on bass, Jonny on guitar and Chris on drums, and possible female singer if she thinks we're good enough (she's got a degree in music performance).

So it's inevitable band name time.

So far we've got: 

The LD7     (postcode!)

The JP4 

Craven Black Cat

The Gitanes

 

But we're not convinced.

Suggestions for better names?

[super al]

As you mentioned jazzy I shall go with the Leo Smalls Quintet...and keep the audience guessing 🤔

Other than that, I'm in my garden so Moroccan Round Table

That's why I suggested the JP4 after our guitarist... Twas his idea so can name it after me!

At least one member has been in rehab though (not me!) if that helps...

According to AI:

 

Here are six band name suggestions that reflect your funky, jazzy blues style:

Funky Blues Collective

Groove Junction

The Jazzy Vibes

Soulful Strum

Rhythm & Blues Revival

Bassline Serenade

These names capture the essence of your music and the collaborative spirit of your group.

Seeing as Craven Black Cat was mentioned as a suggestion, what about Leo Smalls and the Black Cat Three (or Two, if the singer joins)

The Black Cat Quartet (or Trio)

I came here to suggest The New Funky Slightly Jazzy Blues Band, but I like yours better 🙂

This gives me hope that AI computers will not be taking over the world any time soon.

The New Fray Bentos Jazz Orchestra?

The Smooth Jazz Riot Police?

Onions?

Cat Poo Jazz Bags?

Smell My Jazz?

Bifter, featuring Felicity Kendal?

Grifter, featuring Geoff Capes?

The Porcupine Jazz Quartet?

Topol & The Jazz Roofers?

Schnorbitz Jazz Club?

 

Blimming heck, naming jazz outfits isn't easy is it? Can't you get a female lead singer in the band and call yourselves Heather Report? Or The Jacqui Pastorius Big Band or something?

I think we'll be Jazz Blues though!

I did like the idea of vintage fag brands though to conjure up smokey clubs of yore, hence Craven Black Cat. Or The Gitanes..

Or The Gauloises. Or the Craven As. Or The Navy Cut. Or perhaps, The Roll Ups...
