Another need a band name thread

Sign in to disble this ad
We are 4 guys so far (no singer yet) age 38-55, 3 of us our first band, recently formed. The thought was blues originally but thats turned toward hard rock/heavy metal. Working on covers for the time being. The lead guitar typical type A, gets irrated when I cant follow him on a song I've never tried before. Drummer is a big guy that is always breaking sticks, dont know if he likes playing or just hates snare drums. I see volume wars in the future with the lead. Drummer and I are finding a nice solid groove, he's getting pretty good with the double peddle.

We did a couple songs at at open mic night at a biker bar. Looks to me like this is the audience direction we are headed towards.

We cant come up with a name.

Anything with "American" or "Outlaws" in the name. My biker bar band was The American Outlaws. They are still playing MN/WI/IA venues. Band names aren't copyrighted...

Or maybe something with "Steel Horse" in it?

Not a bad idea with the "American" or "Outlaws" theme.

Used to be a band around here called "Sons of the Republic" always thought that was a pretty sweet name for a biker bar band.
