A little band name help!

Sign in to disble this ad
Ok, I'm in a new, unnamed band. We have our first gig on May 28th and we still don't have a band name.

I've tried the band name makers and most of the suggestions are lame.

We are late 30's - early 40's musicians primarily playing R & B, funk, and blues, although we've been known to launch some Hendrix, Clapton, Steve Winwood, and Van Halen depending on our mood.

Hopefully my bretheren (and sisteren) on TB call help a brotha out...

So whatcha got???

As I have vowed, I shall suggest this name in every band name thread.

Pink Unicorn Horsey.

It works better if you're playing metal.

Not to brag, but I think that might be a contradiction...
