Name my band for me
Posted by Brookster on 10 June 2011 - 6:18pm.
I'm playing [bass] in a band at the moment, with three others who are mostly old enough to know better. I suspect I'm not the only person on this board doing this.
Anyway we don't have a name at the moment — does anyone have a spare one they could suggest? We practice every Sunday in Munich and play, frankly, meat and potatoes rock music.
Can't have anything too funky and clever — if we get round to doing a gig, the audience might think we're sexy and cutting edge (we're not). My first attempt on the Band Name Generator came up with Greasy Loin, which does have a certain charm …

Greasy Loin
does it for me. Some things are just meant to be, don't fight it!
However...
...Real y Sing is an anagram of Greasy Loin, and has a certain exoticism to it, no? Or Ale Rysing... or, or...
another anagram is
Lies on Yarg (the vegetarian option?)
Meat And Potatoes
There you go. Brilliant name!
Maybe just
Stew.
Or 'The Stew' if you want a slightly more 60s vibe.
...
Meat and Two Veg
Which of course, calls for a cover Fairport Convention's 'Meet On The Ledge' with the name of your band as the alternative lyrics.
Germanic Street Preachers
Bavarian Rhapsody
Isar Her Standing There
Is Germanic Street Preachers
better than Munich Street Preachers? Maybe there's already a tribute band with that name?
I dunno...
It might be. I just didn't think of Munich Street Preachers.
Let's say my idea is better.
Yes, I think I prefer it that way. ;-)
Fair enough
It's a rich seam though - Roxy Munich, Dark Side Of The Munich, Munich Has The Right To Children...
Roxy Munich...
I like that!
(Could also be a German porn star...)
Wot about
"Deiter Goes To Heidelberg".
There used to be a band played regularly at Biddy Mulligan's in Kilburn called "Paddy Goes To Holyhead".
.
Pantomime Shrub?
or Lizard Point?
or Diplivits?
or Ethanol Nurse?
Assuming your band mates are German
you could go for We Started It.
"Mark JF"...
...You are Roger Waters & I claim my pair of Foster Grants.
Statistically
We're 50% English, 25% South African and 25% German.
I quite like The Island Monkeys (based on die Inselaffen—a derogatory German term for the British).
I'm normally all in favor of band names starting with...
... "The." Like "The Somethings" rather than "Something" or something convoluted and ridiculous like "Does It Offend You, Yeah" or "!!!."
But Greasy Loin is pretty good.
Hasselhoff Hairshirt
.
Ei Freitag?
Aspidistra Kleiderständer?
That's...
the one...
If Brookster doesn't want it, can I have it please?
Apparently.
Aspidistra is Schusterpalme in German (I had to look it up).
Schusterpalme Kleiderständer sounds like a highly, highly experimental 70s Krautrock outfit.
Mullet The Good Times Roll
.
Band Name Generator Came Up with
Dream Fascination,which I quite like
"Two More From Them Later"
'Nuff said
Monster Munchen
Monster Munch... Munchen... you see?...
I'll get my coat out from under the tumbleweed.
Names of garage bands I have known
Incredulous Flange
The Cunning Linguists
Dickie Heart & The Pacemakers
A Deranged Prostitute Stole My Homework
Aspirin Damage
(All used by the same band in various incarnations)
...
Don't Tell Him Pike.
What about....
I always thought The Pockets Of Resistance would be a good name for a band.
Just at random
'Going To The Dogs'? I suspect it would be straight forward to live up to that name
As Billybob said above, I prefer a 'The'. How about 'The Greasy Loin' - a bit more definitive.
How about
Herman & The Germans?
I'm sure I've mentioned this...
...great band name-in-waiting around here before, but what the hell:
Peter Doubt & The Big Finish
band name gen
rectal fraüd - it'll look great on the posters, honest - and dont forget rhe umlaut ü fir added germanic'ness!
After seeing this on a sign
by some motorway roadworks I've always felt "Junction Construction" is a great band name.
They would have to be a ...
.. soul band with a big brass section.
Closed for Renovations
I want to see it on a board outside the venue
Equally...
This Friday, live: TBC
Or
Girls This Way Please
Apprehensive Coastguards
Not sure where it came from, but if I had a band, that's what it would be called.
I like
Spaffwhapp. You can have it though.
The Bunkers
The Bankers
The Bonkers
The Blinkers
Popular Music Beat Combo
Could mean anything, nothing, or that in fact you are a popular music beat combo.
Egg Friday
nuff said
frankly, meat and potatoes rock music.

In honour of our esteemed editor
How about The Blue Shirts?
Here's your new name...
Vicar's Daughter
Tonight: "Topless Darts"
This could secure a large crowd if pasted up outside the venue. But you'll have to manage their expectations carefully.
*Imagines 70s doo-wop combo Darts
topless*
*shudders*
from
roehampton?
Arson and The Juggernauts
.
Free Beer & Sex
I'm currently toying with
The Rundfunk Brothers, although this may be too-clever-by-half
That's the best one yet, Brookster
Go for it!
(Edit: meant to be a reply to Brookster's above, not a somewhat unwieldy suggestion!)
Move to France...
and call yourselves The Sisters of Merci.
Or
Liverpool....
