The name of your band is...?

So I'm still fairly new to TB, but I've been a bass player for years. Over the years I've been a part of a couple gigging bands. The first was called "Wake Up Call" (where I got my start ) and the second was called "Damascus Road". I'm in a band now that plays some covers from the 60's and 70's but we don't have a name yet.

My question to all of you is, what are some of the names of your bands and what type of music do you play?

Mint Wad Willy. Sepia-toned rock 'n roll, a perfect companion to a night of whiskey drinking.
