My jazz group did not need a name until we started doing gigs recently. Now, we can't agree on a name because they all sound silly, boring or pretentious. Did anyone else have trouble naming their band? |

I haven't updated my sig yet bc I wasn't sure how long it'd last. Last name was Pyroklastic Surge and before that we were ThsTorturedSoul.

And I suppose the band would have to be pretty punk...

A bitch to impart to somebody in a crowded, noisy room without repeating yourself 17 times or writting it down. But, once you got it across it stuck like glue.
Chumke
Don't ask where it came from, we don't know either. Made somewhat easier by a T-shirt I made that borrowed its design from the "Chum" brand of dog food.
LackAfro
Was deemed racist before it even got an official gurnsey. God damn PC gone awry.
Soiled Doilies
Too hard to say when drunk, and nobody knew what a doily was so that was bunk.

We also had a stupid slogan: "We may not be loud, but we're sincere!"
*sigh* those were the days!
