OK, so my latest endeavour is a jazz/soul/funk band & we are trying to name it. What a pain, we can't seem to find anything to agree on & we all think each other's ideas are lame. Anyways, I need some fresh ideas so if you've got anything let me know. Naming the band is by far one of the lamest tasks about starting a band and the bass player sent me a new list this morning full of lameness.

    I've been waiting for a funk band to call themselves "Afrodisiac," or at least call their CD "Afrodisiac." You guys could be the first.

    Man, there are some horrible suggestion here. Of course my involvement with naming bands has always been punk related wherein your name always has to be ironic, funny or an inside joke.

    Agreed... although mine were purposely cheesy, I think Heavy Set Gentlemen[/b] is hot.

    I agree.

    Will you be playing original material or covers? If the latter, you should call yourselves Extraordinary Rendition.
