help me come up with a cool name for my band!

[Krokus]

Well, I don't like to boast, but I've become a considerably better drummer over the past few years...

My brother has been a guitar player ever since he was 14, and he is 29 now...so he's pretty damn good! We never considered playing together, because there was too much animosity, and we couldn't get along. We've finally put all the bullshit behind us, and have found common ground with something we both love: playing music.


We have both decided that we are good enough now to seriously play in a serious band. We are having bass auditions this weekend at my place, a few of my friends are trying out.

We already have come up with some really cool and different things music-wise, but we can't seem to come up with a cool name!

So I was hoping that you talented, innovative chaps here at the TMF could help give me some ideas!! The ball is in your court!

 

[TMF Jeff]

Sargeant Pompous and the Fancy Pants Club Band!

 

[Red Jester]

The ministry of silly walks.

Me and my friends talked about starting a band called Dolphin Safe Tuna. You can have that. 🙂

 

[blondie46]

I like your alias, "Krokus" 🙂

 

[Krokus]

thanks for the suggestions so far...


P.S. blondie, we would use the name krokus, but it's already been taken, lol.

They are an old 80's "hair band"

I don't wanna pigeon-hole you, but...

What sorta music do you guys play? It might help in determining what your band should be called.

 

[Krokus]

We are influenced by bands such as:

Old-School Metallica
Pantera
Slayer
Green Day
System of a Down
nevermore


We try and achieve a heavy sound, yet still very technical... we have solo's for all band members in some of our songs.. guitar solos, drum solos, even bass.

Try here for a fantastic array of names. I'm not suggesting you flat-out gank a name from here, but it should be helpful to get the brainpan bubbling.

Well, phooey. That wasn't the font site I meant to send you to, but you get the idear. Just google your way to a free font site and you can find hundreds of possibilities!

[Ignatz]

Fearful Symmetry (phrase from Blake's poem "The Tyger")

If none of these grab you, you might comb through Dave Barry's old columns. He's always coming up with good names for rock groups.
