Post subject: semi-Breakfast Serious band names plz |
|
|
so i'm in a band with three other fellows. i play piano/sing/write and we have a guitarist/singer/writer a bassist and a drummer. we're playing at an Elliott Smith tribute show on the 20th of october. it'll be our first show and we had to quickly choose a band name because they're making flyers for the show and they needed a name. we thought of some names that one or more people decided were too "this" or too "that."
anyway, we ended up with the temporary band name, "Sequitur," based on the fact that we hated it the least, but we're not really all too pleased with it and are in the market for a new name.
i'm requesting the members of this forum to contribute in two ways:
way the first: Breakfast Serious to semi-Breakfast Serious band names that to the best of your knowledge hasn't been taken by some other band already.
way the second: funny joke band names, because i know that there will be a lot of those thrown in anyway.
please differentiate between the (semi)Breakfast Serious names and joke names.
here are some joke band names we were able to come up with:
Ninjas v. Robots
Chief Justice Warren Beatty
Sgt. Grumbles
Timothy McVeigh Birthday Party
TRAGEDY IN OUTER SPACE WHERE NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM
Dick Cheney and the Pacemakers _________________ Soy loco por las Cornballs |

Name your band Fucking Awesome. That way, at the start of every show you'll be able to say "Hi! We're Fucking Awesome," and then start to play one of your songs. _________________ [quote="Bismark"]Didn't you know? Having uncontrollable shits is wicked scene.[/quote] |

I'm already in Robot House, so stay away, chump!
But I would reccomend The Rutherford 5, or possibly Dick Cheney and the Heart-Attacks. _________________ Nothing stops Eddie Guerrero.

tautology
In fact, I would seriously love to hear any grammar-themed band. _________________ A suitable ending, I think! |

Actually, math terminology makes a good band name.
For example...
Standard Deviation
Pythagoras' Theorem
Common Multiples
Radius
Here's an actual example:

I always wanted to call a band Big Sandwich. Or Giant Hoagie.
After the Elian Gonzalez debacle I came up with Tiny Cuban Boy, Janet Reno's Worst Nightmare, and the Miami Relatives.
Another personal favorite, inspired by the MST3K movie: The Amazing Technicolor Cheese Wedge.
I suppose these band names are why I am not in a band. _________________

regarding our style: though we're playing an elliott smith show, our vibe for our own stuff isn't quite as sad and mournful. i'd say the range is between piano pop/rock to just regular indie rock sound/volume. dismemberment plan is a common favorite between most of us, though we've made no attempt to sound like them. i hope this helps. _________________ Soy loco por las Cornballs |

Giant Hoagie is too comical, but the Fibonacci Sequence walks that fine line between being a pretentious reference and being inexplicable in how it applies to the band itself. The Fibonacci Sequence is thus far the best suggestion. _________________ Nothing stops Eddie Guerrero.
