I am in a band that is totally kinda pretty good in my onion, but we find ourselves at a lack of decent names... If anybody out there has any ideas at all they would be so greatly appreciated!

"More Obscure" is a band name that I came up with earlier today.

I find this catchy: Rasputin and the Bolsheviks

Posted by Mark (Member # 6393) on :
Band names are easy. I came up with these just by looking at things close by.
Mousepad Ashtray dying flowers (heavy metal band or something) broken clock (maybe if you do retro music of some kind.) lampshade (not a jazz band are you? crooked picture playing cards
All very good band names in my opinion, though Boon's idea creates an interesting origin story.

I always though Pink Floyd ws a good name for a band. Might be taken though...

based on your name, "the clandestine band" would be good.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
My best frend always said that if we ever formed a band, it'd be called "Nazi Adhesive." I don't know why, but I think it was because she wanted to name the first album "Issues With Tape."

'Undable Etterpants' 'Divide By Zero' 'Askance Glances'
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
How about "Those Guys?"
"I just LOVE Those Guys, do you have the new cd from Those Guys? Hey! Those Guys are playing a concert in a month, we should go see Those Guys!"
Even if people have never heard of you they'll be talking about you daily.

"Limozeen" - oh, wait. That's already taken. Curse you Strongbad!
Posted by Mucus (Member # 9735) on :
Conversely, how about "The Man" (as in "the Man is keeping me down") That way a lot of people will already be angry at you before you even start, free publicity!
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Yeah but, if they get really good, it'll confound two generations of railing against The Man, and we'll have to start saying "I LOVE The Man."
It'll ruin everything!

Sweet names guys... Probably should mention that we arent a jazz band... Its more kinda ambient rock with violins and such...

'Ambulatory.'
'Violense.'
'Caveat Emptor.'
Posted by BlueWizard (Member # 9389) on :
Jazz and ambient rock... how about 'Silk' or 'Satin' or 'Satin Sounds', or if you are a little daring, how about 'Satin Sheets'.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I like Violense. Clever one Scott.

Makes me think of Apocalyptica, so here are some shamelessly derivative names:

Posted by Clandestineguitarplayer (Member # 11571) on :
You guys should all start your own bands... Just learn to play guitar or drums or something... Cause those are some pretty tizite names for sure... Turn out though in my honest onion that it would be almost a sin for me to jack one of your hard-thought names for myself... I will just have to suffer on my own.........

nah, don't be silly Clandestineguitarplayer, don't think of it as stealing a hard-thought name, think of it as not letting a hard-thought name go to waste.
Posted by scifibum (Member # 7625) on :
I just figured that was a polite way of saying "Um...nice names, but not quite to my taste."
Posted by Clandestineguitarplayer (Member # 11571) on :
No, they really are great! For real...
Posted by Cactus Jack (Member # 2671) on :
Actually, I think the most interesting band names come from combining the first word of one band name on this page with the second word of another.

WOW! I love the waxing Akimbo one! I am seriously gonna ask the guys about that one! In a somewhat related note, our first song is up now! You guys really have to check it out! Seriously, its pretty sweet we think and the song is kinda like a seminary lesson in itself...

Last night I was thinking I'd like to be a a group of us middle-aged, flabby women, who all play brass instruments (I play baritone) and I'd call it Cows With Horns
