This friend of mine has a band, they're 80's big pop, extremely glossy (Phil Collins engineer producing), cynical songs about girls, lust and love, got a big showcase coming in a few days. They used to be called Sheer (I thought of that one, it's perfect for them, says it all) but lo and behold, a Dutch band with a hit in Holland has the same name!!! Help them!! Thanks.

Not bad but listen, this is important - they're pervy like the UK bands but more extroverted - like I dunno maybe INXS.

What I'm saying maybe is that there should be a certain amount of champagne in the name, a whiff of high living.

Perhaps we should be plundering the dialogue from the movie "48 Hours" for a band name.

you mean you don't think "Firewater, Tonto?" is a good band name?

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 14:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Not particularly, since you'd get confused with Firewater.

― jake b. (cerybut), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

"White Man's Overbite", and particularly "Mädchen Riot Star" are my personal faves. Perhaps their not suited for the band in question, but those are awesome band names.
The same way that the phone company runs out of numbers and has to start a new area code, sooner or later we're bound to run out of cool one-word band names. Then we will need more of these two and three word gems.

Anyway I'll pass them on to my friend today - and get back to ya. Please, though, keep going. And may I reiterate that if he makes it as big as Savage Garden, you'll be the ones saying 'I named that band'.

I want to play triangle or cowbell with the Night Sweats or I don't give up the band name. Or I could play washboard like that guy in Black Oak Arkansas.
