Ross Brown Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 New band. Classic Rock, country rock and a little bit of blues. Also a few songs I dont know what to classify as Feel free to make serious suggestions too, if you dont like these choices. Thanks.

kenfxj Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Tricky business selecting a name. I think there might be a band name thread around here somewhere... OK, just spitballing: Cover Up is good but could lead to confusion about cover charges?Electric Brew is good but I'd be expecting late 60's psychedelia.Mary Janes Pocketchange sounds a bit like a Tom Petty cover band.Poorhouse is good but perhaps a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Richard W Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I voted for Poorhouse, just 'cause I think it rolls of the tongue easily and it captures a bit of our current zeitgeist in America.

Ross Brown Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 I looked a page after page of the "other thread". Some good stuff there. This is what the band came up with so far....

_Sweet Willie_ Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I still think you need to incorporate the dog into the action. The dog's good people and deserves props for its canine contributions to the family dynamic. Pets always get short shrift. How about "Ross Brown's Dog" or "Dogbone"? Peace.--s-uu spreadluv Fanboy?

5 string Mike Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Poorhouse sounds all right to me. A lot of blues and country songs focus on the plights of being in the poorhouse so it kind of fits. You guys have checked around to make sure these aren't names that people are using, right?

Then again, if Phil W. hasn't jumped on it in two years I guess it's fair game, which would make this reply irrelevant. [video:youtube] If you think my playing is bad, you should hear me sing!

EddiePlaysBass Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I kinda ruined the stats because I voted for both Cover Up (which I like) and none of these. While I find "none of these" a bit of a weird name and the lack of capitalisation threw me off for a second, I think it could work. Oh and ehm, what happened to your original idea?

picker Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I hated Poorhouse least, but I still hated it. I'm in a similar position right now, and I'm nor looking forward to the process we are eventually gonna have to go through. Naming a band is the worst part of being in one. How about Electric Poorhouse? Maybe a few off-the-cuff suggestions; Ricochet The Long Riders (yes, it was a movie, but I always thought that it would make a good name for a country/country rock band) Whatever-your-chick-singer's-first-name-is & The Doghouse Dudes(or The Poorhouse Popes, Puppies or Paupers) The Food Stamp Band(or The Poorhouse Band) The Welfare Truckersªor The Poorhouse Truckers) Cornbread Cadillac Rimfire The Revenooers The Stumpjumpers Dippin' Snuff The Jethros The Junebugs Bluetick White Lightning The Back 40 Band Always remember that you are unique.

Seamy ALB Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I don't like the Poorhouse idea. I think all negative connotations should be avoided when naming a band as your just opening yourself to abuse right from the start. Poorhouse empty the house kind of vibe. http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Little-Bitter/185235472447 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
