These days you just have to do the Google search first and if there's a band already, anywhere, called that just cross it orf the list and walk away ...

It's a shame the Lush Puppies has been had - on the assumption that it's a pub band I thought it was rather good.

Lush was also a rather well known band in the 90's as well. [url="http://www.4ad.com/lush/"]http://www.4ad.com/lush/[/url]

These are all pretty bad! you got anymore? .......or do i have to vote for one of these?

In the words of John McCenroe!......."You cannot be Serious!!!!!!!!" .........MAY WE SUGEST????

They're all horribly bad but you are a rock covers band so I'm figuring that is your intention. In that vein I've gone for the most horribly bad yet somehow also great "eROCKtion"

[E_MaN]

They all seem pretty bad tbh....One good Idea is to take the name of a song by another band, like Ten Thousand Thrones or Gravemakers and Gunslingers or something.

Btw they're songs by Testament and Coheed and Cambria FYI

Hooves of satan for the win !

Bad choice - you'll never get any parochial church council tea-party gigs

Didn't like any of the others - how about "Pushing Up", as in pushing up the daisies

Rock Cake?

Rocksticks (as in Sticks of Rock from the seaside)?

Chill Until Blue (read off a Carling can)?


Hooves of satan however is what I've chosen on the poll.

[lushuk]

Hi folks thanks for taking the time to vote/respond.
Ive run the poll on another board and up to now the results are quite different, strange eh! I think the key must be to vote before looking at the latest results!
Like the thread Si put the link to says a band name is nought till its a band name! Thanks again keep voting was hoping for 100 + votes!

[quote name='lushuk' post='83374' date='Nov 4 2007, 01:28 AM'][/quote]There's already been a band named [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lush_%28band%29"]Lush[/url], actually. Now they're a chain of shops selling soaps & bath bombs.

The Coffin Dodgers, meanwhile, is in use by another group, [url="http://fp.jculf.plus.com/shuffle/theband.htm"]here[/url].

Fat Rascal?

a "Fat Rascal" is a traditional Yorkshire rock cake found in Betty's Tea Rooms...

(was the only link I could find a decent picture on... and the recipe looks good too...!)

[HarryPotter]

Given your ages and possible appearances, why not something tongue in cheek like '[i][b]Middle age spread[/b][/i]'.

I am allowed to say this as a 33yo BFG (Big Fat Git).

Ended up picking ..........Rock Stock And Barrel!......sounds close enough to Cock Rock and Flannel!

[andy67]

love the name lush, however, already know of a band with that name! what about 'lush of ages'?

[lushuk]

The band lush finished in 96 so would it matter that much?

[stingrayfan]

Voted for Lush as it's the most non-descript of the lot and so you won't get tired of it. Avoid puns and play on words like the plague - they sound cheesy and make most people groan. It's not easy picking a band name though - so good luck!

Edit: It doesn't matter if there was a band called Lush ten years ago if you're only pitching at the local covers market.

[chris_b]

My vote goes to "Spiral Pong".

Maybe, maybe not. It really depends how litigious 4ad feel like being - they've still got CDs in their current catalogue. Plus given the penchant for so many bands reforming, it's probably agro you could do without.

With the amount of bands re-emerging (apparently through popular demand) it might be seen as somewhat misleading.Not a good idea if the back catalogues still available, theyll still have the name under copyright.

[OldGit]

and ...
Lush cosmetics have the urls
[url="http://www.lush.co.uk/"]http://www.lush.co.uk/[/url]

So to summerise, Lush is a no-no for your band name chap.
