Name my band.


Ya, we don’t have a name yet. And the singer didn’t show up for rehearsal. Which is good in a way, because someone stole our PA, mixer, and speakers, along with the mic and mic stand…so. Ya. But we finally got the video working without swamping the mic on the camcorder. Tomorrow I’m off to my Mecca, the House of Guitars. I need a noise gate and a delay pedal. Maybe we should call ourselves the Dirt Merchants…

    Well, I’m afraid I can’t help with a name (always sucked with band names; I was in one of those fly by night never played a gig ordeals, and we called ourselves the Crime Scene Casualties, for example) but I like your sound. I see you’re in/near Rochester. I used to live about two hours away, in Ithaca. Never got a chance to hit the House of Guitars, though. Pity.

    The above scene takes place in an abandon house just 15-20 minutes north of Ithaca.

    Spoodge Bucket was always a name I wanted to use for a band.

    Hey Fred, Don’t know how you came up with “Downgrade” for your project, but I thought that sounded super cool!!!! Emma

    I like “Sarah and the Rape Kits”

    and

    “Cotton Candy Cadillacs.”

    Both are phrases used in “Get Your War On.”

    How about “In What Respect, Charlie?” … although that sounds more like a hipster indie band name than a straight rock band

    The Seeds of Disaster sounds like rock and/or roll.

    I’m with Agi on “Seppuku Solution”….

    An old room-mate of mine was the lead singer of a band out here in Bay Area called “Fuck Bubble”
