I'm in a 90s rock covers band that hasn't gigged yet but will shortly be ready to. Our set list contains mainly British and North American upbeat rock covers, from the likes of REM, Reef, RHCP, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, The Cranberries, Alanis Morrisette, Skunk Anansie, Ocean Colour Scene, Oasis, Blur, Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, Republica, Elastica, Alice in Chains, Lenny Kravitz, Suede and some others.

We haven't agreed on a name and I am totally lacking in inspiration. The guitarist wants to call the band 'The Coverheads' but I'm not keen on having the word 'covers' in the name.

Any ideas people?

Pearlvana? Life on the Ocean Suede? Elastic Republican Chains? Lenny Morrissette?

Grunge Box comes to mind.

Or riffing on that, and relating to Suitcase Full of Blues, Suitcase Full of Grunge. Or Dufflebag Full of Grunge.

Ninety Ninety Nine

as in covers from 1990-1999

Thinking promo material, there is a lot you could do graphically and lexically with 'Ninety Ninety Nine' such as 'Ninety 90 Nine' 'ninety90nine' '9099', and so on. '90909' also works and is pleasantly palindromic. Check out domain name options too.

Material from 'OK, Computer' required.

Can't forget "Smiling Politely".

One easy way to do it is to use a song title or key lyric from one of the bands you're covering. For instance, not a band name, but I have a friend who uses "Beautiful Garbage" as a social media handle (from Hole's "Celebrity Skin"). Or, a little different, when I started a 2000s cover band I called it "Six Cowards," which was the title of an imaginary film that appeared in a Cold War Kids music video.

Yep. This. So many good names to choose from or play off of.
