TMKFmusic Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Our band, This Machine Kills Fascists, are wanting a name change. We've tried heaps of online band-name makers but with no success.Anybody have any suggestions for a new name, we play alternative rock (garage rock essentially).Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oedo 808 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 You've got to do this one on your own boys.... but then again... how 'bout... Boudoir Fingers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 In keeping with the Guthrie theme, how about Pastures of Plenty? We took The Deportees, and Pretty Boy Floyd is gone too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Not trying to be a dick here, I've gotta ask; if you're resorting to online band name maker websites because you can't come up with one you're happy with, can you genuinely expect to create unique and interesting music....?xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Ultimately it doesn't really matter as lots of bands with terrible names have been very successful (Oasis anyone?).How about Blame Jesus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some of the results:Wank Splash Wank Of The Dangerous Interlude Wank Chip Enlightened Wank And The Apparatus Makeshift TitsTits Sorority Tits Step-father And The Tomato Glacier ChuffChuff Duster Luscious Chuff And The Universal Birth Crazy Cunt And The Caustic Comrade Cunt And The Praise Cunt Blaster Cunt Towel My favourites are Enlightened Wank and the Apparatus, Makeshift Tits, Chuff Duster and Cunt Blaster. Hours of endless fun on that website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOX Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 This is gonna sound really dickheadish but think up your own bloody name. Don't ask on a music forum or use a random name generator. If you have passion for music and that you should find it comes naturally one day, not just pressing buttons online.Just my two pennies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Try going through books / movies you like or are influenced by in any way and see if you can find a (subtle) reference in one of those you like.That or a pun.
