The thing is, they wouldn't just be a cover band: they're a gala band...the ones hired specifically to perform at company events (more often than not Fortune 500 company events). Gala bands make much moula, booboo. It's often the side or "dayjob" job professional working musicians employ themselves with when they don't have a steady gig with a contract in a club, theatre, or by freelancing at music institutes or session work. I don't know what the pay rate is like in the States or Australia, but in Germany the current gala gig rate is 450-600 euros per band member per gig (that's about $640-$850 USD). It's good dough and gets a lot of mortages paid, vacations taken, and comfy luxury cars purchased...in cash.

1) The Twats

2) CBorgman

3) Photowhore

4) Vagitarian

5) Charlottes Dream

6) Imago's Hairdresser

Well, I had hundreds at the time of my own thread on this subject, but these ones didn't make the cut for one reason or another...however Bigelow's Treehouse just made its debut two weeks ago!

I wouldn't go as far as luxury cars!!!

A cover band?

My suggestion would be The ReModels. Is that taken?

edit: I just looked the name up. It is indeed taken. Ah well.

It's so ridiculous to name a band nowadays. In the old days there could be ten bands named the Rolling Stones, and assuming only one of them made it big it wasn't a problem.

I think that may be part of the reason for adding a number to the end, like for our email addresses (but something I'd never do for my band!)

Flies on our dicks.

Cavity Search 4 Christ.

I do like Cavity Search, but I bet it's taken.

NDRU said:

they want one that can have the full name no extra bits in the myspace address, so people can remember it

NDRU said:

I know there's an Aussie Raconteurs that refused to give up their name to Jack White's band so now Jack and crew go by the Saboteurs there.

sextonseven said:

Really?

Serious said:

They even had to make a Saboteurs version of their website: http://www.thesaboteurs.com/

sextonseven said:

interesting, I hadn't heard that. But I know if I wanted to call my band something simple like that it would already be taken on myspace!

It's so silly, I could form a band called Sodanation, and (let's be honest) it's pretty unlikely that we're ever going to be big enough to play in the same circles & confuse our fans--except on the internet.

It's sort of like mom & pop stores that have the same names in different cities, like the Leaning Tower of Pizza. I don't think that's a chain (perhaps it is), but I've seen several of them because it's a good name for a cheap pizza place.

it's form an american sticom from the 70's called Chico and the Man

yup exactly

OK, they've decided on Slinky Minx

ZombieKitten said:

I like it.

sextonseven said:

first thing that I thought was how cute!
so connotation = good

ZombieKitten said:

Not new, USED!

Besides, a used Mercedes or Jag is very inexpensive here compared to the States

Ottensen said:

my car was used when I got it, now it's VERY used

TECHNO TANGO

ZombieKitten said:

I like saying it. SLINKY MINX. It's very nursery rhyme-y.

ZombieKitten said:

How about
"Those Meddling Kids"?
