"Finance Industry" band name

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys,

We are playing a charity show in a couple weeks apart of this festival called "winnstock", which is thrown by the finance sector of the business community. Anyways, we unfortunately have to think of a new temporary band name that has to do with the finance industry in some way. If you guys have any suggestions I would be more than thrilled!

Bear Stearns and the Bailouts.

Spend all your money on hookers and blow, and tell them it's gonna cost them more money to get you to play.

I'm assuming you don't want to offend your clients, right? That means all the good names are useless...

"Fannie Mae & The Feds"
"The GAAP Band" ("GAAP" means "generally accepted accounting practices")
The ROI Bois

High Interest

Are they having a CD Release party? yuk yuk

At some point during the show get on the mic and ask the crowd if they have any interest in your CDs.

Thanks guys!

We ended up going with "The Bailouts", but I really wanted to use the 'Bernie Madeoff with ______" one. Hilarious
