Never Say Never: Sexy Band Name Needed.
- Thread starter Bert Slide
- Start date
Is that really a common thing amongst younger female vocalist?? I've never heard of that.
Yep, it's an internal time clock thing. When they all hit 27 they get this overwhelming urge to move to NYC. Damnest thing I ever saw. 
Nobody knows what happens to them after that....sad really

The same could be said about us guys. Like you say, it depends.
I'm pretty sure loads of dudes have quit bands because they're moving or getting married too.

Not too worried about that. She owns a business in town and has a kid. This is a sideline for her and really for the band as well. We are already a working 3-piece band. And it doesn't matter what we name the new incarnation. If she splits we go back to the old name and carry on.
Thanks all for the name and song ideas.
Bert, I was taking off on what Blue said and being facetious; please excuse my poor attempt at humor.
This is great advice.
There's a fine line between cute and creepy. A bunch of middle-aged guys backing a young woman is already pretty close to that line. An over-sexualized name isn't going to help.
HAHA! Jaimee and the Creeps...I like it!
I got it and chose your response to quote to respond to all the "she's gonna leave ya" posts. Again I'm not worried about it. No band last forever and we don't have to have a singer for the 3-piece. In fact a portion of our tiny fanbase is a little upset at the new direction.
I have had good luck playing with women as long as they do not turn into divas and always help load in and out. I actually drummed in a band that had a female keyboard player in 1972 who was the ex-girlfriend of the guy she replaced in the band. Before she left she also lived with the bass player and the first lead player. Then, three years later she shows up to manage another band I was in and lived with that bass player and hit on my girlfriend...she was a real trip.
Last thing I want her doing is loading in/out. She can carry her mic if she wants but we got the rest covered. I want her working the club owners, employees, and any fans around at those times.
So do I. This ticks all of the right boxes, and sounds classy at the same time. Excellent suggestion!
My own suggestion would be Friendzone, or something based around that.
Jaimee and the Friendzone? Friendzoned, with Jaimee?
"Ultravibe Pleasure 2000" (early south Park Reference)
And as a bonus, here is an obscure, but fun and sexy cover suggestion:
Hobo Humping Slobo Babe by the band Whale.

Or, as yeti suggests, you could just cut to the chase and call yourselves "The Cartesian Coordinates"
