So I am forming a new cover band in the greater Phoenix area where band members will switch instruments during sets. I was planning on calling the band "the Switch" but sure enough, the name is taken locally. So I am looking a similar name, something that gets across the idea. Something like, "the Alternates," "Revolving Doors," "Revolving Sushi," lmao, or maybe adding a qualifier to switch like "Panic Switch," "the Switching Gentlemen," or something like that.
Anyone have any good ideas?

I don't have any ideas for your situation though, sorry.

How is the musicianship? IME you can pretty much always tell what a multi instrumentalists "Main" instrument is.
It's a cool idea, but for Gods sake, don't let the drummer play guitar!

If I were doing it, I'd do all 3 sets with different people on different instruments (only make the changes between sets, for the entire set) and not mention a word about it. let people notice (or not) on their own. I think it would be a lot more effective. |

@phalex, so far the musicianship is pretty strong. On the songs we are working on so far, everything sounds great. I think it would be hard to tell how does what in terms of main instruments. But we know our limits and we are being very careful in our song selections, as to not over extend anyone. Oh, and the drummer is going to sing and do simple songs on bass and keys, lol.
@joe, for what we are doing I think being obvious is OK. The Phoenix area has a lot of cover projects, and the ones that are obvious, even gimmicky, get a lot of gigs (Metal Head, Rock Lobster, Boogie Knights). So I am fine with it.
