Lemonade Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I've added a poll for you. Don't say I'm not the best mod.Aren't the Duo-Tones already a band?EDIT - Oh no wait, it's the name of a Persil album.I like the sound of a Rockabilly / Doo-Wop / Rock n' Roll band as well. I dig that shit. I will come to see you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 The Ed Milli BandMore seriously, I voted for The Alternators, good name. Looking forward to seeing you guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I went for the Straight Six. It's a type of gearbox, yeah? And the classic car / hot-rod thing will go with the kind of music you're playing - however the name will only really work if there are six of you (and you are all straight!).

Guy Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 So far my favourite Ideas are the Alternators and The Straight Six. Only problem with Straight Six is there is probably only going to be 5 members and I guess I couldn't garuntee that they were all straight!Cheers for all the votes and Ideas, very much appreciated.Also do people think this kind of thing will go down well in Aberdeen and if so where?

stoney_stu Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Alternators is good ... but as this is Do-Wop and Rockabilly then Alternators are to up to date they replaced Dynamos which is much more of a 50/60s device and to me a much better name for your band. You can buy me a beer when you do your first gig, cos I like a bit of that ol Rock N Roll sound ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 The Good Thieves is the best of the given options.Not as good as Serenity Now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 The Dynamos I like it. All very cool Ideas. Anyone interested in playing with us? We are still a few short of the full compliment.Cheers,Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
