Request: Band names
 

I've been trying to come up with some good ideas for band names for the band I'm in, but alas its INSANELY difficult to come up with a good one. So, I turn to TFP for help. Our band's style ranges from melodic rock, to hard rock and everything in between. We also have a female fronted vocalist, so that adds into the equation. Any help is greatly appreciated in advance!

The best and funniest thing I saw about choosing band names:
make two sets of folded papers-one set, adjectives, the other set, nouns.
put each set in a cup and pull one paper from each.
So you might end up with something like:
Fatfree combat boots
Blue hammer
Hardened moustache

If nothing else, you have a few laughs and at best, it'll jumpstart your imagination :lol:

Or, do like I do and blindly point at a dictionary until you get two words that sound good together. It's how I chose my past two screennames: cellophanedeity, misplacedstar

I also had the option for "extacy flier" but, that didn't seem right. ;)

Double Blueberry Mexicans
Throwing Back Cotter
The Battle for Cheesecake
The Buckets
Silly Little Squirel
No Way Jose
The Living Dingos
Start with Steve
Not Hansen
Sour Cream Sunday
Mmm Mmm Bad
Slaughterhouse Rules


That's all for now.

Smiling Politely

5 points if you can figure out the reference.

I was going to use it for my bands name, but I can't find I drummer who doesn't piss me off.

Rude Awakening.

A random search of the Scholastic Childrens Dictionary gave me these suggestions for your band:


The Food Chains
Grooming Kit For Horses
The Ladybugs
Moh-ziss (Phonetic spelling of Moses)
The Nutmegs
Conchiglie ( a kind of pasta )
Pueblo
Thongweeds
The Stalagmites (or Stalactites, if you please)
The Millard Fillmores

Whaddaya think?

you gave the name in your post...

INSANELY DIFFICULT..

especially appropriate with a female lead singer :)

fuckin' drummers........



*heads off to play his drumset......and tries not to piss tinfoil off*



:D

Here's a list of random pairings and such made from the things on or near my desk....

Starplus Triad
At-A-Glance
Reserved Extension
Loblolly Protocol
Impact Memo
Contact Tau
Boatman Project
Circulation Blue

Yeah, some suck....okay, most suck, but maybe they'll get you going in the right direction.

Thongweed?? :lol: :lol:

"Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins."
"Homer Simpson, Smiling Politely."

I want my points damnit! I don't usually get Simpsons quotes. :D

You could do a Google for "Band Name Generator" ...

Figure out what your favorite movie or book is and take a reference from that.

Real life band examples:

Nerf Herder
Save Ferris
The Boo Radleys

What about...Thumbscrew :thumbsup:

How about...

Malted Rainbow
8th Dimension
Lolligag
Dr. Cheeto and the Munchmeisters
Warped Beavers

Okay, I'm only letting you use these, so if I find anybody else use em, I'll SUE.

Destructicons In My Long Johns
Ariba McIntyre
Gringo Star
Infidel Castro
Yo Momma Bin Laden
Kid Vicious
Andy Rogenous

Ooooh I like that one...

Smurf Hurders
Rays in a Cloud
Tempted Philly
No socks quartet (of course, you can't wear socks)
One rung missing

Bad, but off the top of my head. Of course, I want to be named on your CD!

What I did once was sat around with a bunch of guys and made a big list of stuff that rules. For example:

Road Trip
Nice Suprise
Steak
Found Money (ie: find $5 randomly in your clothes or car)
Live Music
Porno
Jack Daniels
Garlic

and so on and so on, and then make band names out of that:

Steak Trippin'
The Garlic Roads
JD Live and the Nice Suprise
Porno Pete and the Five Dollar Bills

Female front vocalist reminded me of No Doubt so

No uncertainty
Slight improbability
Slim hesitation
No hesitation
Trivial uncertainty

Oooo I like Smurf Herders!


A few names that come to mind:
Justify This
Unanswered
Entrenched
Pyrola (actually a plant family, but a way to get pyro in there)
Artemisia (another plant)
Ephedrine (drug, but not)
Blackthorn Shilelagh (weapon)
Sternutated Slugs (coughing slugs) :)

I nicked this from fatlacemagazine.com ages ago and I've been itching for an excuse to share it.

i'm tapped for now, but it's late and i have a headache. more later.

If I'm reading your suggestion right, I came up with a similar idea back when we were trying to name our garage band in high school . I got voted down. My suggestion was <b>Elomenopy</b> Your're welcome to it, but now that I think of it, it might be more appropriate for a pretentious fusion band. :D

There is in fact a widely sucessful band here in new zealand called Elemeno P. Their bassist often plays a BC Rich Beast.

You want a name?

Spaulding For President

There's your name.







Booyah.

We had a local band called "Free Beer " ...used to put up billboard posters on the front of the pubs and all

and they used to pack the crowds in everytime they played....and they wernt that good on the ear either


Cheers

I always wanted to name a band "To Be Announced".

Pap Smear and the Stool Samples

So what's the word? Gunna use any of these???

Thanks all for the input. I've written down some that sound like they might work and am gonna show the band this coming weekend. I'll let you all know which name we finally decide upon.
