Need a name fast

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm in a newly formed Western Swing/Honky Tonk Country outfit.

We need a name soon.

Any ideas? We're on the West Coast so I was thinking of something like Wet Coast Cowboys or Playboys or something.

Maybe something crazy and off the wall in a word. But what?

Cowpie?

Roadkill?

An easy one if you have a band leader is "The [insert leader's name] Quartet."

It works better if you're a 5-piece. It works even better if you don't want/have a band leader. Just call yourself something like "The Mac Ledderbelly Trio" if you're actually a quartet.

You could even go historical. "The Doc Holiday Orchestra" has a nice twangy sound, if you're a twangy band.

Ooh.. you could go weirder....

"The Gillespie Sisters" if there's no female lead singer or no sisters in the band.

I was in the same predicament with my prog-metal band. I came up with E. coli while doing biology homework.
