Name Us - Make Us Famous

Remember these guys?
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!

Destiny's Edge ("on the cusp of your destiny")

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

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.

Is there a lead singer? Male? Female?

Go to

they have lots of ideas.

Tiggerlane said...

Ya'll are doing SO GREAT!! I'm LOVIN' THE SUGGESTIONS! Keep 'em comin'!

Tiggerlane said...

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.

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

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

Mind of MadMan said...

Simply:
Band Name
I know it is crazy, but yet it fits.

Junebug said...

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. ?

Junebug said...

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.

Spellbound said...

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?

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!!
