| I noticed Miles post about the Band promotions! Nice idea! You can't ever get enough of this!
I am a long way off to calling what we are doing a band yet but that made me think ??? Duuhhhhh, we do not have a name yet? I'll bet you guy's have some good suggestions and I'll bet you have some bad ones too! Have at it We have nothing in mind yet so anything goes! This could be funny. Randy |

Location: Florida | I played in a band called "Manny Moonglow and the SROtones". It was the house band for a place called SRO.....
Another thought... used to play some various band competitions (we sucked, but it was a way to get on stage) and the favorite thing to do was go up to the MC right before he introduced you... and say there was a change, the band scheduled band couldn't make it and you're filling in... here's your name (and hand it to him on a small piece of paper, or the back of someone elses biz card).
Of course the name was always some spoof or ripoff. We'd do the some strage name, or just call ourselves "The Rolling Stones". The MC's ALMOST never caught on until they'd gaffed. |

However, his melancholic and almost fragile-like sound did not seem to reflect the band's name. It was called "Big Bald Brad and the Monkey Brains" -- a spoof of Big Head Todd and the Monsters! Go figure ... :rolleyes: |

No wonder. With a name like that you'd be licked before you started...

Then there's "Circumcised Asparagus", this guy at school wanted that one after he heard Ultimate Spinach.
This is like guit6ar names, so easy to make bad jokes, so hard to come up with a good one. |

There's a bar in Prineville called the Horseshoe Tavern that has card tables in the back room. They have a sign out front that says-
"Liquor in the front, poker in the rear".

In the early to mid 70's, there was a band from the El Cahon area called Montezuma's Revenge ... played mostly bluegrass infused with a lot of humor ("Don't chain that toilet seat to me!"). Great musicians and great showmen. Was that you, ji?
In the early days, I had a band called Joe Mama. |

Sorry about pluralizing the Cheerio, man. :) To bastardize a well known saying, 'I may not know what I like, but I do know art!' ba-dum-bum.
The Leather Cherrio...ha!...next thing you'll come up with is the Leather Cherrio 'tribute' band 'Starfish Poker'.

| Cliff I'm sorry I called it "the Leather Cheerio's" too? I figure if there's only two guy's in the band everyone would want to know who's Leather and who's the Cheerio? with five or six I guess we could go with "Leather & the Cherrio's" but just "Leather Cheerio" That would make a good hit single name! No matter I'm kinda putt'n a like'n to "Joe Mama" Jes you guy's are nut's! |

When I was younger, I purchased the 'Honey Drippers' album (yes, vinyl!). My mother looked at it and said, 'Is that a band of septic cleaners or something?' After she explained it to me, I thought maybe 'Honey Dippers' would be a funny name..but few would probably get it. Don't know why that just popped into my head.
