They made the tourney again? When did we get a basketball team?
Need help.
I wanna help my son (aged 11) start a band. His sister has agreed to play bass, though she's actually a rythm guitarist. She's almost 13. My son's best friend, who he hasn't spoken to for 8 months (Fuck, pride is silly!) is a crack drummer. We also have a gifted sax player, aged 13.
So, the rythm section and vocals are set. My girl says she knows a coupla guitarits, so we'll be auditoning those.
Oh, what does my son do? Well, he'll be lead singer. Think Jimmy Morrison aged 11, but with dark hair. The kid is so good looking he should be locked up. Takes after his mom.
But, I don't have a name for the band!!
Please help.
You're asking people here for help naming you kid's band? That's dangerous.
It must be irreverant, witty, and commercially viable.
How about... you let them pick? You try to force a name on a band and you're asking for trouble.

Oooooh.....interesting discussion. As I am the Manager of a major rock band here in the TC, I know how important the band name is.
What kind of music are they going to play? What kind of market do they want to hit? Band name is sooooo very important.

Um, because they wanna call themselves the "Smelly Sneakers". I dunno, maybe that's good?
Name them the Smashing Punkins
If you get sued, it will be great publicity.

For a teenie bopper band it's kinda cute. They can wear Converse tennies to all their gigs.
I was always fond of Distinctive Stink...or spelling variations thereof. Works with your kids' "smelly sneakers" idea, but a litle more grungy.Um, because they wanna call themselves the "Smelly Sneakers". I dunno, maybe that's good?

Ya, but where is the truth in that name??
I want sumpen that will be historically significant, like The Doors....
HOFer
PackRat?
Maybe as a plural....
Well, The Doors were historically significant because they had talent. Same with The Beatles. Neither had very interesting names, if you ask me.Ya, but where is the truth in that name??

Find a name that has signficance to the type of music you want to play, the image the band wants to portray, and perhaps something that has sentimentality to the band. It's got to be a name that rolls off the tongue and is marketable. "Smelly Sneakers" is cute, but it sounds like a college alt-rock band to me. Now, "Sneaker Pimps", a band from England, had a cool name. I'd suggest you take the sneakers idea and run with it, only try to throw in more detail.
The band I manage is named Perfect Enemy (we used to be Sound And Fury, but lost the copyright). Voltaire once said "Perfect is the enemy of good." It has significance because of the market we play in and the content of our music. It's also in the lyrics of one of our favorite bands, A Perfect Circle.
Just some thoughts.
