Need A Band Name

[Scotti Adams]

...Im starting a new band...got any ideas?

[AlanN]

If you have any kin in the band, how about the Adams Family? (although the old show was spelled Adamms and there may be a copyright thing, too).

"They're creepy and they're spooky, mysterious and wooky, they're altogther ooky, the Adamms Family."

[dirk van coevorden]

"Beam me Up" ? scotti & starfleet? :D

[Scotti Adams]

I like that Dirk....no kin in the band Alan....or that would be a possibility

[ira]

somewhere on this or a similar site, i remember a band name generator?????

[AlMc]

Magnus and the mule lovers

[Ken Berner]

How about "Barb's Wire Company"? No? Then maybe "Handpicked"! Last, but not least, "Vintage Whine".

Lots of luck to you and your group!!!

[Scotti Adams]

..hey..thanks guys...keep 'em coming

[GaryM]

I liked "The Bluegrass Buds" but it wouldnt fly with our guys.

[jim simpson]

The Haiku String Band

[Crowder]

I think it has to include "Mountain", "Foggy" and either "Family" or "Brothers". That kind of narrows it down.

I think if I ever had a bluegrass band I'd call it "Unleaded Grass". But I'm not very creative http://mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[GaryM]

ok... how about "Foggy Bluegrass Buds" http://mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[ethanwalnut]

"Smokey Gulch Pals"
is what the cafe's own Random Bad Bluegrass Band Namer (http://www.mandolincafe.com/archives/bandnames/) came up with..

[handpicked]

I think Handpicked is a great suggestion! I used it once for a band that played about 3 gigs.

I've got a buch of ideas for dog names, but bands are more difficult...I always wanted to use the name Rocket Science, but never have.

There are four band naming processes I like. Method One: Take a really esoteric tune title, or part of a tune title, that is really catchy and use that as the band name. My band "Mississipi Snag," is an example, another is a local group in my area, "The Black-eyed Susies."

Method Two: Take a geographic reference and add a common old-time descriptor such as "stringband," "ramblers," "boys," "rounders," etc. Examples would be "The Ill-Mo Boys" and the "Fuzzy Mountain String Band." BTW, the geographic reference does not have to be an actual place. It may be better if it isn't. It should just sound good.

Method Three: Take two things that don't normally go #together and combine them. The less sense the comination makes, the better. Two local examples: "Cousin Curtis and the Cash Rebates" and "Miss Crystal and the Codgers."

Method Four: Use 1-3 above for social satire. Two of my favorite band names come from Birmingham, AL. "Red Mountain White Trash" takes a real geographic reference and sends-up a stereotype about people who play old-time music from the South. "Vulcan's Britches" referes to a naked statue of the mythic god Vulcan in a park in Birmingham. The use of Vulcan is meant to symbolize the city's history of steel mandufacturing. There was a debate about whether or not the city should put pants on the statue. Hence the name of the band. Both are great, great bands, BTW.

[mando bandage]

Folk Loar

But, I guess you'd probably have to have one.

Scotti and The Holler Tones

A. Holler Tones = redneck for "Bluegrass from where my trailer is hooked up"

B. Holler Tones = redneck for "acoustic instrument sound"

http://mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif

[mikeomando]

I like the fictional names like blank and the blank blanks, where the first blank is a fictional character rather than the name of the band leader.
Example: Lewd Leroy and the Landgrabbers.
Probably more of a blues thing than a bluegrass thing. Hey, waitaminute,
Rhonda Vincent and the Rage. (only Rhonda isn't fictional).

[Crowder]

I used to play in a band with a guy named Richard Tate. He was always calling the shots, so his derogatory nickname was "Dick Tater". We wanted to name the band "Dick Tate and the Dictators". But of course he shot it down.

[Mike Bunting]

I heard a band called Al Tuck and No Action

[hellindc]

The Adams Family

[Scotti Adams]

I think it has to include "Mountain", "Foggy" and either "Family" or "Brothers". That kind of narrows it down.

I think if I ever had a bluegrass band I'd call it "Unleaded Grass". But I'm not very creative http://mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
...nope it doesnt have to include this stuff...the band in going to be more contemporary in nature...but with a foot in the past as well as in the future. New acoustic stuff as well as some new grass, if you will....

[jim simpson]

Scotti and the Big Scioto Boys

[Scotti Adams]

cool...Jim...but to tell you the truth...I dont think my name is going to be out front....this is more of a group effort....which is more than Ok by me

[Tom C]

"Bluegrass Buds" - I like that one!

[handpicked]

Scotti,

I've got sundown/dawn stuff on the brain as it suggests the junction between future and past.

Attempting to fire up the brainstorm generator...sputter, cough, sputter...

Days of Future Past
Into the Sunrise
Sun Done Gone
Midnight Harvest
__String Co.


this is tough....Good luck

[BenE]

Monkey Trailride

If you don't you this one I'm gonna use it for my new funkgrass project...

[Scotti Adams]

...neat Ben..but I dont think it will work for us...so you can use it...:0)

[Dennis Schubert]

On a serious note...if your band is good and you think you might be together for a while, don't pick a name that is so cute you'll grow tired of it...or even be embarrased by it a year down the road.

A band name based on a bad pun or a raunchy double entendre gets pretty stale after while...and may even become an obstacle when trying to get those high-paying "dignified" gigs...choose something that sounds both rural and dignified, and you can't go wrong.

But, don't tag yourself with something as passe as the "River Mountain Valley County Boys" either.

[alanstewartra]

Okay,Ironweed shot me down before I could post this suggestion(since it is based on a bad pun AND a double entendre) but here goes anyway,how about "THE CHIXIE DIX" or for your literary crowd "THE APES OF WRATH"

[duuuude]

How 'bout yer signature: "Stay Tuned" http://mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

[pklima]

I like food, so...

Eel & Wasabi
Goat Casserole
Goat Gristle
Army Of Cows

[Tom C]

Gee pklima,
You may have well added The Turn Your Head and Coughs or
The Painful Rectal Itches

Xenia Warrior Princes

[Scotti Adams]

you guys are great..I can see you have really done your homework on me......where I live and such....hey I might make a contest out of this....if I can find something to give away....lol..... http://mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Flowerpot]

I had a friend who wanted to start a country-techno-punk gay band, and I suggested he call it Yeehaw Massacre. I guess that name might work for straight bluegrass as well. His band never materialized... I wonder why?

[BenE]

The Bluegrass Holes

[ethanopia]

hey scotti how about these:

the Native Americans,
Quickdraw and the Revolvers
the riflemen
the Greene County Bluegrass Militia (is Xenia in Greene County?)
the Torpedos
Hot Tamale and the Burrito Boys

or one of my favorites the Grass Kickers but probably been used before...

[Scotti Adams]

..well...Bare Nakit Ladies was already taken...

[Scotti Adams]

imaginations run rapant here

[jim simpson]

Scotti,
I am sure you have already checked, but if not, it's a good idea to check Bluegrass Unimited's yearly published band list. I used to have a group called Haywire and for a couple of years I would get a call from someone asking how long we had been using the name, etc. We were local/regional so it probably didn't matter if another group also used the name. But once they got famous, we could prove we used it first, sue them, and get rich! I guess it's the only way you could make money playing bluegrass.

[Walter]

The Chicksy-Dicks

...whatda think??

[John Flynn]

Walter: LOL!

Prince is not using that symbol for "The Artist Formerly Known as..." anymore. It's up for grabs. The comedian Sinbad once said, "How do you pronounce that thing anyway...'Car Keys?'"

[Bobbie Dier]

Bluegrass Burners
Bushwhackers
The Strangers
Bluegrass Travelers (Too much like Blues Travelers???)
Bill's Army
Monroes Charge
Monroe's Ghost(Is that one taken?)
Bluegrass City Jam

[alanstewartra]

Hey Walter,you're stealing my ideas(and I thought I was so clever).I think you could add a little to Mteresko's idea an call yourselves"FREE BEER & NAKED LADIES" you would probably pack the house any where you played.Just imagine your bands new name on the sign down at your local pub with additions added underneath like "TONIGHT ONLY" or "LIVE & UNPLUGGED".C'mon Scotti whadaya think?

[Scotti Adams]

....while being very interesting mandoholic....I dont think thats what Im quite looking for....kinda risque if ya know what I mean...

[regattagirl]

Hey Scott....what's this I hear about a contest? I still like "Ohiyos" best.

[Mando4Life]

Stay Tuned

[mandocrustacean]

How about "The Strung-up String Band"

[Django Fret]

Where is Mandodude when you really need him?

I'll bet he probably already played in bands with most of the names mentioned so far...

[Scotti Adams]

..yea Im thinkn about making this a contest...but at this point i dont have any prizes....Ive either sold or givin away all the things that I have no use for.....I may be coming into a load of strings sometime soon..so maybe I could give some strings away....I will have to just wait and see....but until then just keep playing...this is fun...

[Garrett]

Everest Mountain Boys

Higher than Clinch Mountain that's for sure.

[EZpicker]

Scotti is from Ohio, I think so...
The Buckeye Bluegrass Band?
The Woody Hayes Acoustic Project? (the accronym is cool -W.H.A.P.)

In a lighter vein...
String 'em up Boys (may already be taken)

[Bobbie Dier]

There was a band near me in the next county called "The Cocke County Cork Suckers". I don't think they are together anymore. You might use that name. You could call your band "The New Cocke County Cork Suckers"

[OdnamNool]

"Aye, aye, Captain." #(I hope that wasn't already mentioned...I'm too bleary-eyed to carefully read this whole thread...) #Good luck!

Mandohack has the right idea...that has mucho potential. The Master Models would probably work as a band name if you took the G** off the front there.

[Scotti Adams]

..there is some good stuff happening here

[dudleyunderhill]

Engineer Scott and the Earthtones

[handpicked]

more brainstorming...words...random...

maple, spruce, tone ring, mossback (very big largemouth bass, if any fishermen in band), carved tops, scroll envy, tap-tuned, soundholes, pearl rosette, herringbones,

eeek, boss coming, must feign work!

[earthsave]

Yep, I like "Stay Tuned" as well, or maybe "Caint Stay Tuned" if you have a banjer picker in the band.

[Kevin M]

I won't be using my personal fave, "Monroe Doctrine" anytime soon, but I think that's better as an album title anyway.
Yonder Mountain String Band evolved from the Bluegrassholes - must be a great T-Shirt.

Some other thoughts off the top of my head:

Banjo Serial Killers
GrassMatrix
Dirk Matter and the Superstrings the Physicists will get it)

[Zixar]

Lessee...

If your band has a guitarist, a fiddler, a mandolinist, and an inbred retard, you could call it:

18 Strings and a G-ddamned Banjo... http://mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

[MandoMichael]

Classico

[mtshooter]

Where do you live? I heard a band from Upchuck WV, they called themselves the Vominteers!LOL!! It's True.

[mandowannabe]

For a while I called my group "AD Hoc Bluegrass," because we seldom had the same guys two times in a row. A lot of people didn't know what Ad Hoc meant, so we went to "That Loco Blue Grass Band." That got old so now we are playing under an old name coined by one of the guys in an earlier group. "Summer Harvest." How about something like "The Wistiful Pickers?"

[Scotti Adams]

I won't be using my personal fave, "Monroe Doctrine" anytime soon, but I think that's better as an album title anyway.

"We picked up Red Man as a sponsor, so we renamed our bluegrass/poser-metal band to Motley Chue ..."

[Dioptase]

I think you should choose a name personal to you, or like many have suggested, to your geographic region. Two bands down here in Orlando Florida have incredibly relevant, and cool names.

The Flat Mountain Boys
and
The River Bottom Nightmare Band

Haha.. I think Flat Mountain Boys, for a Florida Bluegrass band, is simply genius. And the River Bottom.. well, if you've spent as many nights sleeping in the swamps as I have.. you'd understand.
Actually.. I first heard bluegrass camping out by a Florida River.. no, not Suwannee.. the Econlockhachee! Changed my life..

Scotti, The way I picture you is how you presented yourself on page 2 of the "Post a Picture of Yourself" thread. 3 guys holding gorgeous mandos (including a '23 Loar and a '25 Fern I believe) and not a smile on your faces.

So, maybe something can come from that. Are Brian and your son in the band?

I can't think of anything good offhand but perhaps....Scotti and the Dental Records...


adm

[Scotti Adams]

..I kinda like that....nope neither my son nor Brian is in the band....not yet...anyway

[Charlie Derrington]

Hey Scotti..

If it were "Punk" Grass you could use the Monroe Shocks or even better, The Dead Lesters........

I've always liked "3 out of 4 Musicians"

Dale, I guess you are right about that. My band is the Outcast band, and one of our friends introduced us one night as the outhouse band.

[daikon]

Methyl, Ethyl and the Keytones

[Chris Cantergiani]

The Epicac Mountain Boys.

(See... 'Syrup of Epicac' is used in first aid kits to induce vomiting. It's gotta come from somewhere, right? That way, if your band blows chunks, at least the audience will know what they're getting into.)

Ohio Wire Company

Middle Age Crazy
Simon Kenton's Revenge
Bucket of Buckeyes
Jonah And The Wailers (not original)

Best wishes for a great Christmas, Scotti!

I've always thought that "The Winking Sphincters" would be a good name.

Hey neal, weren't they some unholy group out of Egypt? I think their b@njO picker was sort of half-fast and the bass player used to be with the Semi-noles down in the Clearwater area.

No Way Ooot (Ooot rhymes with "Loot". It's a Canadian band)
Catherine Turner Overdrive
Atomic Death Monkeys

Of course, non of these are as bizarre as bands that I've actually played in:

Jonny Monza and the flaming ponies of death
formerly: Jonny Monza and the ponies
formerly: Jonny Monza
or
Blind Melon Daquari and the Continental Breakfast (all star blues review)

With the Return Of The King now showing I expect to see a bunch of bands called "Middle Earth" again. Did you know that before the band Boston was called Boston they were "Middle Earth"?

But can you beat these REAL band names:
Hammers of Misfortune
Type O Negative
Unholy Cadaver (the former name of Hammers of Misfortune)
Gwar
Slough Feh
Pink

I think there are many names of bands on this site:

What about ALTER CRICKET!! Thats a great name.

[Frankmc]

I like Stone Road. Sounds like it has a history already. Implications of all the bluegrass stories past with " we're still walk'n it" thing goin on. Scotti if you do not want it can I use it?

Thanks, Frank

[Scotti Adams]

[Dan Cole]

How about "Buster Hymen and the Penetrators? or is that already a band?

[Dan Cole]

Never mind, A quick search and thats an established Rock/Alternative band. Get a load of the member's names:
Buster Hymen - Lead Vocals, Drunken Ramblings
12 Inch Nick - Guitar, Girly Yells
Whorey Corey - Bass, Bad Backups
Spike The Impaler - Drums, Orgasmic Facial Expressions
