Topic: BAND NAME
We are having a terrible time finding a name for the band everything we've come up with so far is either unsuitable or already in use .I've tried one of these name generator things and the crap that's thrown up is laughable .

Re: BAND NAME
Ooooh I love these projects. What kind of vibe are you going for?
Re: BAND NAME
Thats the problem BGD something that represents the original folk rock progressive blues stuff we do ..lol and doesn't come across sounding like a tribute act .

Re: BAND NAME
Two more questions:
What do you mean when you say names are "unsuitable?" Can you give me examples of those names?
What are some names you guys liked that are already taken?
Re: BAND NAME
Well, how about "Unsuitable"..?...... (ie: jacket & tie do not apply, we won't wear 'em you don't haf'ta) implies laid back, informal, or casual.
Much like the music, working class and surely not "stuffy".

Re: BAND NAME
We thought of the name Mothers of Convention but that sounds too much like a Zappa tribute act other names Like sawdust on the floor perhaps sounds like a howling wolf tribute or a more traditional blues act .
Others such as usual suspects , killing floor demolition crew have all been used or are in use .
I do like Dougs suggestion Unsuitable .

Re: BAND NAME
Don't suppose you'd accept "Graham and The Crackers", would you, Grah?

Re: BAND NAME
I have 2 opinions about the name y'all chose, Grah
Radio Announcer: "Playing tonight (this weekend): Definitely Not!" - so no one shows up
That was opinion number one
Radio Announcer: "Playing tonight (this weekend): The cleverly titled band, Definitely Not - a lot of people show up because of the clever name.
And that was number two.
As to "Graham and The Crackers": I would not have chosen it either, my friend, simply because it evokes comedy and a party band, which y'all are ....... ahem....... Definitely Not.
Forgive an old comic for trying?

I like "No Borders Band" better Dino.
Borderline Band makes me think of a bunch of guys who may be borderline..... you know....... schizos?
So I vote with you for "No Borders Band" (and maybe even drop the name "Band").
Good one, Dino.
