Covers Band Name!!

Sign in to disble this ad
I have recently formed a covers band with a few friends doing a mix of classic rock songs and a few modern ones. Problem is we are really struggling to come up with a band name.
Has Anybody got any good Ideas for a name??


Thanks
Dan

Isn't there a random phrase generator out on the internet someplace? I've seen one, and it was great! Hilarious stuff!

I always thought 'Blanket' would be a cool idea for a cover band name. Or 'Sheet.' Or 'Comforter.' 'Bedspread' might not work as well. Or if you are in a military town, 'Hat.'

If you're a group of older guys, how about "Mid-Life Crisis"?

I've always thought a cool name for a covers band should be: But We Sound Just Like 'Em.

Funny local band name already taken: "Lt. Dan's New Legs"

I LOVE that one . . . band isn't bad either.

Go watch some movies and see what jumps out at you.
