Location: Omaha, NE | Always turns into a sex thing, doesn't it?
How about "Big Pussy and the Love Torpedos"?
Reminds me of the bit from Spinal Tap:
Bobbi Flekman: You put a greased naked woman on all fours with a dog collar around her neck, and a leash, and a man's arm extended out up to here, holding onto the leash, and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it. You don't find that offensive? You don't find that sexist?
Ian Faith: This is 1982, Bobbi, c'mon!
Bobbi Flekman: That's right, it's 1982! Get out of the '60s. We don't have this mentality anymore.
Ian Faith: Well, you should have seen the cover they wanted to do! It wasn't a glove, believe me. |

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | Now, if we're at all serious here....... .... the naming of a band is the same as any type of business or product branding. Therefore, the name should reflect, in some way, what the audience is likely to hear in order that they may decide for themselves if this service is of use/interest.
Therefore; number, names, and ages of band members
:Types of music played
:venues targetted
are all important. EG: If you plan to do weddings, Dirty Dick & the Master Beaters is probably not a good choice.
As mentioned before, if it's going to be a bar band, names that cause people to come and drink make that band very popular with bar owners.
SHorter names are easier to read on the billboard as people drive by...and the bar is likely to have enough letters to spell it.
"Scoobie Doobie Bros."
might come up as
"Scoobie Dubie Brs"
When the guy putting up the name runs out of 'O's.
;)
Joke names can get as tired as telling the same joke over and over again, but a decent pun sometimes has legs.
The Fungis - worked well for a disband around here.
Likewise
Elmer Thudd - for a country rock band.
Stoop Solo - Though the band was good. The name not only ran out of Os the self deprication served them poorly.
FWIW
Keep in mind, except for the band....it's not all about sex. It's all about selling beer. A band is a method of selling beer that works in countries where you're allowed to drink and dance.
Pack the dancefloor, sell more beer, make more money. |
