Band names
« on: March 02, 2017, 07:36:11 AM »
I feel like this should go in general discussion, but if not, please feel free to move it.

My band (we're doing a lot of 80's hard rock, and a little from 70's, 90's and up) is trying to come up with a name.

  • We're trying to stay away from anything silly or anything that's going to need to be spelled out for people, so no intentionally misspelled words.
  • Preferably something that commands respect or gets your attention (a local favorite, "Gun Metal Gray" is a good example).
  • Preferably shorter and easy to remember.

Two we've found favor with are Scarlet and Bad Karma.  The singer and drummer like Scarlett with two Ts, I prefer it with one.  Anybody got any good suggestions?

HAHA!

I was going to suggest "Whahibrido Pickingant" but that's a little too much inside baseball.

Scarlett Karma? (I'm not actually kidding at all with that one)

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

For what it's worth, I love this one! With 1 or 2 T's.

I thought of something like Ampersand (&), but that sounds more like a Scandinavian metal band.

Some interesting offerings.  There will be five of us and I've always liked the idea of having 4 or 5 members and calling the band "The (insert name or phrase here) Trio".  Then when people point out that there's more than three people in the band, you pretend like you have no clue what they're talking about.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces
