Hello friends, because I want to play some shows at the end of July, the time has come for my doo wop band to acquire a name. The suggestions from band members thus far have been a little too pop- and Seinfeld-jokes related for my tastes; a band that plays oldies covers and harmony-rich piano ballads in 6/8 time should not be called The Urban Sombreros.
I found an
online band name generator that gave some excellent suggestions, including
- Nun Against
- Original Nutmeg Of The Idiotic Trail
- Monochrome Missing
- Fax Fuse
- Exasperated Gym And The Bootleg Tissue
- Asthma Face
- Extra-strength Underwear
- Fractional Pattern
- Futile Fidelity
- Nonsense Committee
"Exasperated Gym and the Bootleg Tissue" is truly amazing, but perhaps inappropriate for this band. The name I have been nursing/cherishing for a few years ("Whip It Out/Tuck It Back In") is better for my hair metal project than for the doo wop project.
So, I am at a loss. Please send me suggestions. "[Noun] and the [Nouns]" is always a good template, but no one is exactly a band leader in my band so it should be more equitable. "The [Nouns]" is also good.
"Swine Flu" is probably taken, so don't even bother.
