FatHand Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just having that age old dilemma of naming a new band. Anyone got any band naming techniques. I'm usually of the opinion that the name becomes good if the music is good (purely by association) but sometimes a good name is enough to intrigue the passer by to watch.Thoughts?

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 To me there are only two rules1- It must look good written down2- It must sound good when you say itMy opinion was that A.K.A. the Fox adhered to the first rule, but not really the second, but I never chose it so I went with it. I think Mondragon fits both bills though, and always have.I quite like 'New Communist Party of the Netherlands' can I have that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Just having that age old dilemma of naming a new band. Anyone got any band naming techniques.Get every band member in the room and don't allow anyone to leave until you've reached a decision.I'm usually of the opinion that the name becomes good if the music is good (purely by association) but sometimes a good name is enough to intrigue the passer by to watch.I think that pretty much sums it up, but I don't think the passer by scenario is significant enough to agonise over the name for ages.---------------------------------'A Couch in New York', and 'Judo at the 2004 Summer Olympics' I like for their sheer oddity.

Gemz Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 After a few practices everyone had a few names in mind an we sat down an agreed on one...I think as time goes on a name will come to you naturally an it will mean somethin to the band as a whole...as apposed to gettin it off expedia...not that there is anything wrong with that either!8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Name yourselves after a book, or something.Has to be obscure enough for no-one to have read it, though.Find a friend who is due up in court. Then name yourselves after his attorney, who will be unable to get your friend off the charge.Worked for me.Love from Christy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Mac Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Good to see that your puttiing the effort in although I would never rely on a random band generator to give you a name. As was previously mentioned, it'll come in time, it'll come natuarally but it should look and sound good. I mean 'The all-for-nots'. I ask ye?!? You just know they're gonna be shit!

Paulscoconutass Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Just grab a word of phrase from something you love. My second favourite part about 'Onion Terror' is getting loads of texts every time The Day Today is re-run on the telly. The favourite part is people who can't quite remember it and come out with pish like Scary Onion, Tomatoe Fury, Onion Bajji etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
