What's your bands name and why?

[PopaWoody]

My newest project is called The PopaWoody band, we are putting together our set-lists to get people grinding on the dance floor. Covers, and very Ahem uh suggestive originals. It's a rebirth as I played under the same name in the mid-late eighties with a different set of musicians.

Everyone we have talked to loves that name. I had been using it on xbox live for about 3 years when MS decided it was inappopriate and made me change it. It is now SirPopaWoody, I went and knighted myself. :-)

Our band is called; Some Kinda Jones. Even though my last name is Jones, I was not there when the others came up with the name. We kicked a few names about. Some Kinda Jones was the one that sounded the best, but at the same time is the least definable, but yet means something or anything...it seems to do what a rock band name should.

"Sister Groove & The Crosstown Jam", generally reffered to as simply "Sister Groove". Why? Well, first because "Funky Methodists" was vetoed. And the band is two dynamic and entertaining black women, keys, guitar, bass, and drums. At one time we also had a hand-percussionist (conga, bongos, afuche, timbales, etc.) too. The repertoire is a bunch of Motown, Stax, and rock stuff. Aretha, Gladys Knight, Etta James, Sam & Dave, Blues Bros, Stones, etc. Closing medley is "Life In The Fast Lane" to "We Want the Funk" to "Thank You (Falletine Me Be Mice Elf, Again)". Anything from Millie Jackson to Led Zepplin.

"Cry of Stones"...

Christian Rock. The name is a reference to the 19th chapter of Luke when the stuffy people told Jesus to quiet down the people who were praising Him. He told them "If they keep quiet, then the stones would cry out."

Gloobersnobber

Im in a death metal band, and Gloobersnobber is a monster my dad made up to keep me from going into old broken down farm houses when I was little.

About 15 years ago, a federal prosecutor came into my office to discuss a case I had investigated. He said, "A few of us in the U.S. Attorney's Office want to form a band, but we need a bass player. Would you be willing?"

I agreed to come to the drummer's house for a practice before giving a final decision. When I walked in, it was 4 federal prosecutors and me. Since I was the only investigator, I said, "####! With all you friggin' lawyers, what are you planning on calling yourselves - 'Blind Justice' or something?!"

They looked at each other, then said "That's perfect!" So we've been "Blind Justice" ever since...

I was spitting out random nonsense in a "Please, My Band Needs a Name" thread and one of them was Ugly Ape. I thought, "Hey, I like that" and went with it.

Exit 119, because that is the highway exit the original members all lived off of.

Now half of the band lives of that exit.

[Phalex]

In The Red.

It was the name of a friend of my drummers band back when he was in high school. We couldn't decide on a name, he always like ITR for some odd reason, and the guys that had it first weren't using it anymore.

We are the consumate cover band: We play other peoples music under someone elses name.

It works out pretty good I guess.

Man I tell you what I have heard the best names fly out off the cuff. Good one!

My surf band is called Vintage Winds, which is code for "old farts". The youngest one is in his 40's, and the rest range from mid-50's to early 60's.

Thanks, Popa. We used to have a sign showing a pair of Ray Ban's sitting on top of the Scales of Justice... We've had a lot of turnover the last few years (guys being transferred and all), so we haven't been doing much lately.

[Din Of Win]

Thrash/Crust band: Extermination Angel - Not-so-subtle Slayer refference... Angel of Death = Extermination Angel.

Power-pop band: The Firecrackers - No reason. It's just kitchy i suppose. It fits us!

[Spector_Ray]

Drunken Logic. After playing clubs for years, this seems self explanatory.

Rosetta Stoned (my band) is a Tool tribute named after a song on the 10,000 Days album .
