help me name my band!
Edited on Tue Mar-02-04 07:35 PM by Chef_Ramen_Noodle
bit of a crisis here...two gigs lined up and no agreement on the name.

*gulp*

i guess you could call it space rock or something of the sort (the type of music that is)

p.s. if anybody else needs a band name and takes one, make sure you mention it so we dont have half a dozen "satans picnic basket"s or something or other ;)

2. might be a bit egotistical
since people have called me that specifically for awhile. and i dont consider myself the band leader, so this isnt a solo project :)

good suggestion though

4. Airbag
I like that one. CTA109 also. That one refers to an old Byrd song that had something to do with contacting aliens or something.

13. I don't know what "space rock" is.
But here's a few (probably lame) off the top of my head.

No More Beans
Slappy
Last Exit Left
Pasty Donna
John Brown's Other Body

Hell, I dunno...

...wouldn't be bad either. I think car parts make pretty good band names, but you gotta fit 'em to the genre. Master Cylinder might work, but I think it's been used. Fluid Drive? Not for this--Tex/Mex R&B, maybe.

That's really good. Hey, Chef_Ramen_Noodle, if you don't use that one, would you mind if I put it in my band name hopper for future consideration? With CanuckAmok's concurrent approval, of course.

38. Stockhouse 14
On the New Jersey Garden State Parkway there is an old Pabst Brewery near the highway. At the brewery there was a very tall bldg and marked on it was Stockhouse 14. It just jumped out as a great band name and I loved it. The other guys in the band I was in didn't get it and since I named the band originally they were not up to changing it again.

I just got a band going not too long ago; here are some of our leftovers:

I Dream of Wires (old Gary Numan tune)

The Girlfriend Roaring '20s

If any of that helps, you're welcome to it.
