Rock band name suggestions.
Airborne - 14-5-2004 at 20:31

Well, like the title says...i'd like some suggestions to a band name for my rock band that i'm in. I play guitar and sing, there is another guitarist, a bass player and a drummer.
We're really struggling for a good, suitable rock band name.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Our kind of music is like that of "feeder".

Cheers.

Slick
SonicSonar
The Microbiotics
The Spice Boys
RazorTripper
Narcosiz
Hairy White Boys
SlipperKnot

Thanks for the reply. LOL! There's some good ideas and some bad ones...i mean where did "hairy white boys" come from?

It's funny because we were thinking of something with the word "slick" in it. That's quite good...maybe we could mix some of the words, like SlickSonar or SlickTripper or Slick Razor?

Narcosiz is good as well, i think Narcostic sounds better though, for some strange reason.

Please keep posting if anyone has any more suggestions.

Cheers.

I thought ' Hairy White Boys' was the best one!!

I almost got a band to take up the name "artificial lard" Thats what I call the Flora type spreads or fake butters.

How about sugadaddy?

Dough, still doesn't beat Hairy White Boys.



Thodd - 17-5-2004 at 08:58

I had this problem with the band that I was in.....

Sooo many arguments about what the band should have been called,

We started with "Bovine drapes"... but realised that it wasn't a commercial name... then it progressed to ;
"MAN HOOF"... and then briefy moved to "Killa Chinchilla"

...then our musical differences conflicted (ie we couldn't play in tune with each other) and we ended up fighting!

oh well....

I'm thinking of starting a new band and calling it;

"Return of the killa bikini vampire girls"... auditions start next week..




Bananaman - 17-5-2004 at 13:18

Hairy White Boys is the best because its the most talked about. Its instantly rememberable. Also if you are serious about the band then you need to make sure the name is not used.


Nick - 17-5-2004 at 14:59

Hairy White Boys is good, but how about "Chopper"?

btw - I've heard that Raleigh plan to start selling them again, but without the ball crusher gear change!


Airborne - 17-5-2004 at 17:18

I quite like chopper....and i think the word artificial could go well with something.

I just can't see why hairy white boys is the most popular, what are you guys on?

I hate to say it but wouldn't it seem a little racist if we performed in front of another colour apart from white, and them say; "so whats your band called?" we would reply; "the hairy white boys"....would that be wrong?

Thanks for the replies...any more suggestions would be appreciated, keep the posts rolling.

Airborne.


Bananaman - 17-5-2004 at 17:28

Well it's not racist because it's not denouncing any minority. Also you don't have to be hairy either though you could wear chest wigs on stage that would be amusing. Oh go on - I want to see the photos lol.


bucski - 18-5-2004 at 10:21

I like

Tumbleweed


Bananaman - 18-5-2004 at 11:26

SlapHappy
MinceBeef
ToiletHumor
Turgid Fox
The Flops

or how about

The Grease Monkey Mechanics (The GMMs)


Airborne - 19-5-2004 at 12:11

Your right bananaman, it's not rascist, but below here's a photot of my band in chest wigs.......NOT! I doubt if i'll be in a hurry to do that, if at all.

Ok, where do you get these names from? Just your brain picking random words and putting them together? Sometimes it works but when you use words like "mincebeef" thats just weird!
LOL!

Seriously though, does anyone have any good band names, i'll rephrase that, i mean sensible band names....hey bananaman do you reckon you could make some up out of that crazy mind of yours.

Cheers, keep posting.

Probably got the spellin wrong,as I´m in a bar and had a few, but what about "maelstrome" just reading about the sydney, hobarte yacht race. It was the weather thingy that caused all the s*#t .


andmethelandy - 21-5-2004 at 09:46

"Ian Huntley and the Groomers"


Airborne - 21-5-2004 at 17:57

Thank you all for your suggestions, obviously i can't be bothered to reply to every single reply.

That generator thing is pretty good...and stupid! LOL! It keeps repeating the words candle, hamster, bag, wall and woman.

My band might include the word "Metaphyzical".

But we need some more suggestions, preferably not from the generator (unless its good).

We'd like a serious band name though, not something silly like "Four Feisty Mothers" !

Cheers.


badexcuseforasailor - 21-5-2004 at 20:35

Four Feisty Sisters ?

My oh my, how did it get like this?

OK, i'm talking serious rock band names. My band has thought of something like:

Clouded Judgement
Sound Wave
Point Blank
Innovation....or.....Innovate
Subversive
Board of sound
On the edge
Shards of Sanity
Guitar Groms....or.....Guitar Grommets
Metaphysical
Sense


Which would you pick out of these? And don't say "none" please. If anyone has more ideas/suggestions similar to these please post.


Cheers.

hi Neil I'll be there Friday afternoon and staying until Monday in that camp site. Gonna test out my new flying abilities (thats trying to keep the kite in the air not me in the air hehe). Hopefully the weather will be ok for some kitesurfing (lol as if I'm actually gonna be able to do it). Apparently I need between 10 - 15 knots. Are you down this weekend?


Airborne - 25-5-2004 at 17:09

Those suggestions are pretty good. Thanks for them, because they're getting better!
Thanks bananaman and NatB for those, i'm adding them to my list of band names bank!
