Location: Omaha, NE | My new project needs to decide on a name! I need your help!
We started out as "Red Eye Black Finger", but that was just a fun name during our warehouse period.
Then we went to "Full Reverse". We've played one warm-up gig under that name.
Then we started thinking about a second name that we could use in dive bars so we don't soil our reputation in the nicer places. We considered "Frankie Filet and the Catch of the Day", but then came to "Big Luscious and the Downward Spiral".
So, now I'm thinking that I like "Big Luscious and the Downward Spiral" as our primary name. Its kindof funny and catchy. "Full Reverse" sounds like just another bar band.
Anyway, we play classic rock and blues.
What's your pick? |

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | Is there a "Free Beer" franchise band in your neighbourhood? That one always seems to pack 'em in. Popular with bar owners.
"But it's the bands name, really!"
Or, for a slight touch of originality

Location: Oregon | Well, honestly "Big Luscious and the Downward Spiral" kinda creeps me out. But I like it better than "Full Reverse which sounds like some lame 90's band... no offense. I always liked "Judge Fudge and the Chocolate Men" myself. |

Location: Australia | There used to be a band in Sydney called "Free Beer Band"
Of course when the banner was hung at the venue people thought it said
FREE BEER - BAND |

It was just a random quote one of my friends said once about trying to break into the film business, and everyone went 'Woah - great name for a band'.

Here's a Dave Barry list of good rock band names .
It probably won't help, but it's interesting reading. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I never did like long names. When I played in an instrumental surf band in the 60's, we called ourselves the Aces. Personally, I would shorten your suggestion to just "Luscious Spiral" or "Downward Spiral." |

Since you want to have a nom de plume for playing dive bars, and thus not soil your reputation when you play other places, how about, using your own words:
Soiled Places |

Birthdays and anniversarys are a struggle.
Disgusting bodily functions as band names? No problem. |
