Band name problem?

My personal sense is that, yeah, that's a bad name.

Of course, there's Cannibal Corpse, Rancid, etc.

So what do I know?

 

You mean like Dance Fever?

Yeah, I'd avoid anything with 'Dance' in it ...

 

Can't help but observe that the OP's handle is "WayOffBase"...

 

Yes

 

i agree, "Dance" in a name is dorky. That being said, sometimes i think too much angst is put into a band name. Unless it's really offensive, a great name will not save a mediocre band, and a stupid or bad name will never hold back a great band. it just should not be offensive, easy to remember/spell (so people can find you after a show). but focus on being GOOD, and don't worry about the name so much

 

Oh dear, there's a local band with Dance in the name, & I never knew why that bugged me until now, LOL!

Stop playing dance covers & call the band "Vanz Can't Dance!":

 

Eight Pounds of Underwear

 

Keep it simple:

Dance Machine

 

I like "Disco Balls"..... either a nod to those classy mirrored balls over the dance floor, or the ailment created by those hot sweaty polyester pants........ LOL

Don't use baby powder -- they have law suits about that.......

 

You may wish to give “Anthrax Dance Band” a shot, and see what happens.

 

No, but those names suck

 

Free Toilet Paper would probably draw more crowds.

 

How about Polka Fiasco?
Me and some neighborhood musicians did a driveway performance - we were called Socially Distant.

 

Yes

 

Just own it. COVID 20

 

I'm not bothered by the potential to offend sensitive darlings regarding C19.

However, having "Dance" in the band name, and the name somehow not being dorky, will be a challenge.

 

I'm not sure if this is a joke, but if it is, I salute you

If serious, yeah, it might go bad Like naming a restaurant "McFoodpoisoning's"

 

Dance Plague
Dance Scourge
Dance Infection
Dance Flare-up
Dance Affliction
Dance Pestilence
Dance Infestation

Yep, they all suffer from unnecessary suckage due to the word dance.
