Yeah, well, they need your help.Desperately.
We need a band name. Soon. Like, NOW.
ATTENTION: If you are a LURKER...and NEVER COMMENT on this blog, I need you to comment NOW. If you don't have a blogger account, comment anonymously. Whatever it takes. But I need your suggestions for band names.
Five of us were up until almost 1:00AM trying to think of a name (and practicing a little, too).
What kind of music do we play, you ask? So far we have been working on rock music, like Fleetwood Mac stuff (no Pantera just yet - sorry Greg). The Pretenders...Sheryl Crow...Tom Petty...with plans to do many more songs...
If you need to know more about us to start throwing out names, then just ask in the comments. I will respond!
This is like BRAINSTORMING, folks....anything goes! We are taking any and all suggestions!
Why the rush? We may have a gig! Oh, and there will be a prize if we pick your suggestion...so GO FOR BROKE!

Chromatic ("layered colors, i.e., music")
Just for fun, I asked the kids - I'll try to come up with a SERIOUS answer soon. Here are their answers to the question, "If you could name a band, what would it be?"
The Inquisitor: "The Rock Bottoms" (I think he was trying to be funny)
Golden Boy: "I Am Not a Nobody Anymore"
Funny Girl: "The Rock Stars" or "The Chains on the Floor"
HA! I like Songbird's "Chromatic" - I don't know if I can do better, but I'm thinkin...
My suggestion: Whipped Butter
And like Susan, I asked my children -
Buttercup: Rocker Roll
Jammin': The Gold Band
the Caboose: Drool and Spit
Far and Away
Land-ho
Mother, May I?
You could go Jethro Tull and do McCormick Reaper. But, as the mom of a toddler, I think you need to whip out the 96 color pack of crayons and be something like magenta or persimmon.
Tiffany's Epiphany
Light Spectrum
(made me think that under those bright lights)
Quandary
describes you state of name choosing quite nicely... (:
Poly and the Phonies
(I know, I know... I should stop while I'm ahead)
Arkansas is where the Ivory Billed Woodpecker has been reportedly spotted.
Isn't starting a band kind of like...
"Searching for the Ivory Billed"
The Natural State
How about "Go for Broke" then!!?
I was going to say, "Go for broke"....
The Blinds
The Liquor Cabinet
The Post-Impressionists

Is there a lead singer? Male? Female?
Go to
http://www.bandnamemaker.com/generator/?cw=&re=1
they have lots of ideas.
Ya'll are doing SO GREAT!! I'm LOVIN' THE SUGGESTIONS! Keep 'em comin'!
Beckie - we have a female lead, and a male lead. But mostly female.
Another cool thing, one member is in his 20's, two are in their 30's, one in her 40 (you read that right), and three in their 50's.
Hell..I will go with the obvious first:
Tiggerlane
Five Guys & A Gal
Realty Rockers
White Room
one hundred over three (spelled 100/3)
three under one hundred (spelled 100/3)
Both references to the rotation speed of a vinyl LP.
Geeky, I know. sue me. ;p
Simply:
Band Name
I know it is crazy, but yet it fits.
Ok, I think my name will be perfect. I saw the name of a business the other day and I thought to myself this would be the perfect name for a band:
Indoor Storm
Don't you like it? I don't know if there is any copyright on it or not. ?
I checked on Youtube and there is no band listed with that name. The company does sell guitar equipment though.
O what fun to have your readers name your band!
I really like "Go For Broke" too!
This is brainstorming right?
How about "Through the Ages"
"The Variations"
"Mixed Chords"
or "Mixed Up Chords"
"Bridging the Gap"
"Chord Fusion"
...all going with your cross generations theme...
"On a Roll"
"Tigger's Lane"
"The Stripes"
"Arkansas Beat"
"Arkansas [insert name of your town here] Rhythm"
Someone stop me!!!
Anyway, I hope you come up with a good name!
I want to invite you to join us for Fun Monday. It's not to late.
:-)

You know, I dreamed the perfect name. It was so great that they became an immediate hit. Unfortunately when I woke up I had totally forgotten it. Oh well, you could do worse than Spellbound. Others that just storm right out of my brain are titles from my posts, Disaster Adverted, Easily Amused, Notes on Sex, Anonymous, Swimming Naked (that still gets a lot of hits), and Now What?
Galien moon (gah-lay-en moon)
Flaming Dervishes
Ray Gun Riders
Siderail Billy

You guys are GREAT!!
I'm still compiling names - we should have one chosen soon!
I've got Slamdance, The Greens and Xanax
When I was in high school....many many years ago, someone had made this fictional band called The Exploding Mice. They even made T-shirts with The Exploding Mice World Tour. The funny thing was that the guys actually played music and just jammed, but never formed a real band. Good luck on the new name!!
