Ideas for band name

Sign in to disble this ad
We're from Montreal, 4 members, Playing 70's rock, some modern and some 80"s stuff. We're all 35-40 yo. All male.

Funny, we've been together for about 3 months, and we just decided we need a name for the band. Remember when getting a good band name was more important than getting a drummer.

Anyways, my singer is the only one with a suggestion : 4 old guys who like to rock and probably will have prostate problems. I think it's a tad long, not verry catchy, and doesn't rime.

Suggestions

Suggestions
How about shortening your singer's suggestion to "Bad Prostates on the Horizon" or something similar?

I alway thought "The Four Skins" was catchy. I also think "The Rhythm Pigs" would be a good name for a blues band. That's the problem.......sometimes I think too much.

Well folks, it's that time again. Someone has started a band name thread and I've seen it, therefore it's time for THE LIST.

Ready?

Tell It To The Priest
Blind Without a Dog
Talk To Your Daughter
Surfers From Iowa
Grubby Paws
Glass Eye Marbles
Needless Controversy
Inside Joke ( I actually like this one.)
Mars Needs Women and So Does Wayne (I'm Wayne)
Nerds On the Edge
Welfare Bound
Cartoon Characters
Bad Idea
Raised By Wolves Only To Be Killed By Science (I used this for an instrumental title)
Fools And Little Children
Lassie Loves Garfield (This ought to have been a title, but I never used it.)
Potential Cultists
Bee Movies
People With Instruments
No Sense Of Shame
Shameless (Oh look. A pattern forming.)
Black Market Teddy Bears
Irrelevant Flashbacks
Gypsies From Vegas
I Forget
Art of Vanishing (I like this one too)
Mental Radio
Golden Apples and Poisoned Pears (I used that for an instrumental title too)
Local Wildlife
Tiny Box of Fear ( I actually liked this one too.)
Gumby and Pokey
Brief Momens of Clarity
Bitten By Bruno (Bruno was a chihuahua)
The Plan
Rocket Science
All In Disguise
No Vacancy
Lost Cause
Sounds Like
Vicious Attack Snail Trainers
Professor Stupendous
Struck By Lightning Bugs
Brain Fade
Above Average
Just The Facts Ma'am
S. O. Teric
B. Tsar (Oh look. Another pattern forming.)
Wishful Thinking
Fuzzy Logic (The one we actually used for the next several years, This is just where it was in relation to the rest of the suggestions on the list.)
Carnival of Souls
Identity Crisis
Son of Lassie in 3-D
Formerly Something Else
Rhythmic Confusion
Rhythmic Confucius (I liked that better than the previous one.)
Wise But Wierd
Sane Asylum
Wisdom From The High Chair
Glass Hammer ( I like this one too.)
Touch Me There
Daisy's a Babe
Social Darwinists
Doctor Tongues 3-D House of Stewardesses (I think this was from a SCTV skit)


What I want you to grasp here is that this is a severely abridged list. There are four to five times this many names. And as bad as some of the ones I posted are, these are the good ones. I have kept the notebook because it has other things in it that are actually useful to me. But every once in a while I remember that, elsewhere in that notebook is THE LIST .

Enjoy.
And I'm sure Golden Boy will be around soon with his traditional suggestion.

You should have it billed as "Pink Unicorn Horsey- featuring former members of Gangrenous Foot Wound, Pig****er, and Evil Undead Corpse."

Yeah, but I came up with the names on that list in 1988. I wonder if I can get any money from Jack Black on that.
