We need a new band name

[Odin]

Anyone got any good ideas (nom not you Polfus, I said *good* ideas) for a
band name? We want to "polish" the image a bit to get some more better
paying gigs so we're moving away from the "blue collar" image and trying to
work into the middle somewhere. Southern Comfort was a good name, but the
folks who sell booze sic'ced their lawyers on us and we've fought the good
fight. Since they decided to pay us to change names we're going to take
their offer but first we gotta have a catchy name that doesn't sound silly
or have any negative connotations. Then we have to get the website redone
to reflect the new band name and image. So let's have 'em, band names
needed.

Two of my favourites that I've always wanted to try out are:

Sikhs Pack

But these might not convey the image that you're after :-)

Yeah, maybe that's why they didn't want to "sponsor" us.
Might've been something about the free samples we wanted,
too. I figure if we changed our name to the Wild Turkey
Band we might have the same problem in the future, so we're
going to avoid anything that could be seen as a conflict
with a company or product this time.

I'm assuming you're keeping the same
progressive-roadhouse-gospel-thrashabilly playlist right ?

Howsabout :

Snakebit (actually, anything with snakes works pretty well)
Hot Steel
Dirty Dozen (the drummer ate the rest of 'em)
Nasty Canasta (a favorite Bugs Bunny villian)
Ghost Town

But of course. Actually, we're thinking about throwing in a
few "newer" tunes as well. By newer I mean 80's stuff like
Tom Petty, etc...

I like the snake idea. something with snakes might be cool.
Hot Steel sounds too "cheesy 80's", like Steel Dragon.

I've been keeping track of some of the ones that've been suggested here,
albiet not real closely. Here's the few I've saved...

Magmatones, The
Human Humidor
Flushmates, The
Binary Sons (The) (I like that one)
Hazmat Expats
Pruritis Ani
Jaw Droppings
Crumpet Monkeys

You should, somehow, get the word "Downshift" in there somewhere...

Going for the upscale penguin gigs, eh?

Sorry in advance, but I just can't resist:

'Odin and the Bike Horns' ?

'Left Wing Rising' ?

'Gay Pride and the Butterflies' ?

'Moon Me and the Flashers' ?

'Iyam Packin and the Second Amendments' ?

I suppose I could think of some more, but it's been a day.

We were hoping for something that's easier to "sell" to
clubs. That name doesn't say anything about the music so
it's a little vague.

An obvious choice:
Sidewinder

Less obvious:
Yo' Mamba
Bushmaster (covers snakes, guns, and sex ;^)
Cottonmouth (covers snakes and rope-smokers)

HaySOOOS! You're a picky li'l beggar, eh?
Besides, how many people are *typing in* your
URL? Don't most people click awn a link in
the band's spam?

Okay... let me cogitate on that snake theme
(although, in my addled mind, bands that use
a snake theme in their names usually imply
southern rock and "outlaw" country).

Boahuggers
Python Pete & The Snaky, Snaky Beat
Snakehandlers
Snake Oil
Snaketracks
Trouser Vipers
Slacksnake (heh)
The Courageous Copperheads
Rattlers & Hollowpoints (hey, consider a gun theme!)
CobraKhan
Kiss My Asp -or-
Asp Kissers
FangFookin'Fury!
Vermin Venom
Venomous Varmits
Chico & The Snake
Snakebelly Lowdown

I actually know a guy who was in a band
called "RattleSHake."

He said 'UPSCALE', Dood. It would have to be 'The Champagne Farts'.

[(°¿°)]

Since Southern Comfort is basically a sweeter version of bourbon, some
obvious choices would be:

"Subourbon"

"Sweet Bourbon"

Or reverse the initials and you have "Couthern Somfort"

Then again, there is always "Southern Discomfort"

Or the humourous, albeit distasteful morning after name:

"Dizzy and the Cornfarts"

Johny Monza and the ponies

Jonny Monza and the flaming ponies of death.

Blind Melon Daquari and the Continental Breakfast All Star Blues

(Although I though it should just be "Blind Melon Daquari and the

Middle Earth (although every 70's and 80's garage band used this name
until they came up with a better one. Including "Boston"! Yep,
Boston was once known as "Middle Earth")


Let's see, what else can we come up with?

Pizza Mind

The Flying Fishheads

Mad Carrot Disease

Post Burrito Depression

Garden Weasel (oh wait, that one's taken)

Meek and the Inheritors

for christ sake. be creative.
the obvious choice is

Fox Franken

or if you prefer

Frankenfox

You'll get sued by both, and perhaps Mary Shelley hiers as well, catapulting
your band into instant celebrity, political and social ramifications galore,
literary reference adding the all important psuedo intellectual ring,
requiring no skills or talent whatsoever.

And of course, that's where most names come from.
The idea of recognition without effort, appeal without substance.


Sort of like the jr. high school kid who thinks a good line for 'chicks' is
'wanna tickle my elmo?'.

Which, by the way, doesn't work in jr. high, but is perfect at state
dinners.


I could suggest you choose a name based on something to do with what you
play and how you feel and think about playing it..
but hey..
That would require a foundation in love of music, rather than a foundation
in mass marketing technique, and we all know what a pain in the ass that is.

Me..

next band..

Nasty Macfaharty and The Passing Chords.


fits in more ways than you can possibly know.

even musically.


Twang!
ps
I was going to call it Pepto Abysmal, but I can't afford a pink paisley
tele.

Actually, you just nailed our first name completely. It was effortless,
recognizable, and came with a whole bunch of pre-associated themes that we
could use. Unfortunately, we also got the threat of litigation that comes
with it. It did, however, apply very appropriately to the music we play.

Nah, there's a bigger pain in the ass. You see, when we name the band
something that represents the music we play, half of the venues we want to
play in won't even talk to us. Meanwhile, other bands with the exact same
set lists are playing those venues because they have a "younger", "newer",
more "hip" image, even though they suck. They're called stupid stuff like
Blender or Chode Monkies or something like that, which tells absolutely
nothing about the band, but sounds like something the local college kids
might like to hear. But when you show up, they play Sweet Home Alabama and
Takin' Care of Business. The problem is, to get the bookings we want, we
need to "improve" our image, because unfortunately, the trailer park theme
only sells to crowds who live in trailer parks, and those gigs don't pay
very well. It's not that we didn't like our name, it's that we *have* to
change it, and as long as we're thinking up a new name, we might as well use
it to open a few new doors.

There's a maple syrup called "Northern Comfort". They even have a
label similar to the booze.

Obviously, you can't use this, or "Northern", so how about "Southern"
whatever. I propose "Southern Exposure". Probably already taken, but
roll with it: "Southern" <something> is the formula.
