Dad band names

Some recent threads have concerned "Dad bands". I was unfamiliar with that term until a few days ago. This got me thinking of how to rise to the top of the heap in this new and potentially explosive entertainment segment. Like in any other genre, a catchy name may well be the first step. Keeping in mind that a good moniker is not only an advertisement of sorts, but is a description of who and what you represent musically. Let's have some fun brainstorming. Here goes:


Grey Sabbath

The Catheteers

Semper Swollen

Lumbago Bay

Dr. Plumber and the Butts

The 48 States

The Jeri Attrix Experience




Your turn!
As a BoomerI can appreciate your list. Got a good chuckle out of it.

How about the “Was”, and their hit big hit ‘Talkin ‘bout My Medications”.

Your turn!
I was in to a gigging band in Virginia when I lived there known as "The Mid-life Crisis". Youngest member was 35.

After that band split up a couple of years later, had a group of folks who were rehearsing on Tuesday nights. After rehearsal we'd typically all head over to the IHOP for pancakes or other delicacies. Named that Group the "Tuesday Evening Pancake Club"
