My Morning Jacket

So me and my friend are starting a band and we've been struggeling with what to name said band.  Help us out by ranking these names on a scale of 1-10 (feedback also appreciated).  We are a two piece and we will be launching our world tour sometime after the 1st of January.

2. Dishwater Cheese

Thanks,

Brian

also, if you have a suggestion of your own we will consider it.

dude, that's awesome!  I like #3 the best, and here's my suggestions:

1.  Cantina 101
2.  Trogledyte Sandwich
3.  The  Emo Lawn (It Cuts Itself)
4.  Heavier than Air

I like "Heavier than Air" but I think Led Zepplin cornered that market already.

1. Hey Girl
2. She Is Staggering
3. Waiting For October
4. Saturnine
5. Everywhere Listen Listen
6. Summerbaby
8. Coronado II
9. Knight-Errant
10. Wanda Lu

Hey Girl = Current Number ONE

How 'bout this?

This Band Never Really Got Going


I think that's kinda brilliant.

My Relationship with the Clock

its funny sounding and doesnt sound too much like a hardcore/emo's band's name written in cursive with a black background with crows and black roses littered around it.
You can almost just pick out which genre of music this is by name:

examples:
Falling Angels
Less than Perfect
June Sets Fire
My Last Mistake
Trading Yesterday
From Autumn to Ashes
With Broken Wings

a couple of my friends may have bet you to it but I think a great name for a band would be Happy Birthday, Pervert.  Or Rasputin's Crush is a good one too.

What kind of music will you be playing, that's important to know.

Not "kinda brilliant".......FLAT OUT BRILLIANT!!!

Well, if you don't name the band that, you at least need to have a song called "This song never really got going".

I always liked the name McBand.

Those are both stellar.  "Happy Birthday, Pervert" has all kinds of potential.

Ok, as for what kind of music we will be playing.  I can play a little guitar and I have this highly awesome phaser peddle that I like to get funky with  and I also do some crazy ass amospheric shit on a casio keyboard and he can sing.  He is really good at impersonating people, and singing like Dave Matthews, or what he calls "the bing bong bing bockady bing" style of delivery and Eddie Vedder "the dying cow " style of delivery, unfortunatly we have completly diffrent taste in music.  Which could cause some turmoil within the band when we go to pick out some kick ass covers to do.  I am sure as fuck not covering Dream Theater or Quensriech, and he won't even consider Mogwai or Sonic Youth.  We are in the market for a Theramin which will without a doubt become the cornerstone of our band once in our possession.  We need a drummer if anyone is interested.

Killer descriptions. What would you call his style of singing? There's a potential band name there.... :)

Also, I am a fan of Hey Girl.

I love this thread.  I could have quoted 8 things that made me laugh.

How about Theraminless?

Hey Girl takes my vote.

Also, Brian, if your world tour begins after January 1st, please consider me as an opening act.  Thanks. xo

Well, I already contacted Jim to see if the Jacket wanted to open for us but if that falls through then I'm really going to push for you.  I'll just have to talk to Danny and see what he says.  We are a democratic band, which is why it's really important that we find a drummer, Danny and I seem to keep canceling each others votes out and then we just sit around and glare at each other.

who's going to wave at the thermin for you?

That's a great question.  I would call his style of singing.....we'll let's just put it this way Ronnie Milsap crossed with David Gahan crossed with Patterson Hood, and if I have anything to do with it crossed with reverb.  He thinks reverb is for pussies.

cool.  i understand.  let me know.

Quotewho's going to wave at the thermin for you?

It's going to be me.  The Theriman is my favorite instrument of all time and I can't wait to get the fuck down on it.  I was going to save it as a suprise for the live show but I can't hold it in any longer, I'm not going to be waving my hand at it.......I'm going to wave Danny's penis at it......while he sings.  We are going to R.O.C.K. OUT WITH OUR COCKS OUT.... LITERALLY!

MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COCK!!!!!!!

I just got off work and I'm going to see Ray Lamontagne in like 3hrs.  I'm going to be like "ha, this pussie couldn't even come up with a band name" then I'm just going to sit there and smirk at him the whole time he's playing.

How about changing that one to 'A to B'
You need to keep it short & sharp these days because 'da yuf' all have short attention spans.
Also, the kids will have something to talk about on Brian's bands' forum.
Topics like 'what does A to B stand for/mean' will appear every few weeks & wankers like me will reply with posts like 'please use the search engine before starting new threads that have already been discussed' but I'll put a smiley to make everything alright (I wouldn't want to have the kids to hate me!)

Can't wait for Brain (sic) to start this band, I'm fucking psyched!

Suggestions based on random stream of consciousness standouts

picking up on dragonboy's suggestion, maybe it could be i'm A to your B, then the forum discussions would be even more complicated.

still, i think long-winded band names are the future.  go with:

Your first song has to be called Get Down Brown.  Has to.

Ok, so Ray Lamontagne was a beautiful experience.  He played at a tiny theater here in Knoxville called the Bijou.  It was completely dark the entire time (absolutely no lighting effects) which just added to the intimacy.  You could here every pluck of every string and every crack in his voice.  He unleashed his soul and we embraced every moment.  Ray opened with "Empty" which is my favorite song off the new record and he closed with my two favorites off the old record..."Jolene" and "Burn" I can play both of those on guitar and I'm pushing as both to be covers for "Hey Girl".  I wanted to dance so bad during "Three More Days" and "How Come" but no body was standing so I proceeded to GET DOWN in my seat.  Other highlights were "Till The Sun Turns Black" and "Lesson Learned" both were chill inducing.  After the show we saw Ray standing by his tour bus and I got to talk to him for a bit.  I told him how much I loved the show and how much the bit he said on ACL meant to me, the part about how it took a long time to feel comfortable singing in front of people.  He is the most soft spoken genuine guy in the world.  I waited while a bunch of people came up to shake his hand and freak out.  Then I said "man, it's so weird, yet so cool how people just keep coming up to you wanting to touch you and tell you how great you are."  He said "Yeah, I don't understand it"  I said "Man, You touch people, you bare your soul on stage and we feel that and it means a lot to us"  This may be cheesy but I also told him how my wife told me half way through the show "I just want to hug him" and I said "that's why we're all here WE ALL WANT TO HUG HIM"  Then I said "Hey, I'm starting this band called "Hey Girl" and if we could touch people the way you just touched me I could die a happy man.  He said "Hey Girl, is my new favorite band I hope I can open for you one day"  I said "Have you ever heard of My Morning Jacket?"  This part is %100 true......When I mentioned MMJ his fucking eyes lit up and he was like "I LOVE those guys"  he talked about how James (funny that he called him James instead of Jim, we talked about that) and Patrick came to see him play in Louisville and he talked about how they were just great human beings and he loved their music.  Ray really is an amazing person and it was a night I will never forget.

How Awesome Is This!!!

Sexual Vanilla?   ;D

Oh, I discussed the LaMontagne show on his thing in the Other Music section.  The crowd seemed pretty pathetic to me for it at the Bijou.  Let the guy sing without yelling every 5 seconds would've been nice.  I'm not really that big of a fan but he admittedly has an amazing voice.  I didn't care for the new album outside of Lesson Learned which it was cool he played.

Yeah, that article he had in some mag said he really liked Z so I am not too surprised he lit up about them.  Good to hear about your experience there.

Good one. What's a dirty penny?  ;D

This scene from the Commitments always cracked me up when a few of them were trying to come up with a band name.

Outspan Foster: There's a band around called "Free Beer". Always draws a big crowd.

Derek: I like "A Flock of Budgies".

Jimmy Rabbitte: We have to be "the" something. All the great sixties bands were "The Somethings".

Outspan Foster: We could be... The Northsiders.

Derek: Or The Liffy Lads.

Outspan Foster: How about... The Fucking Eejits?

 ;D

How often are you two rehearsing?

On a good month I'd say about once a month.  Right now our focus is more on lighting effects and costume design.  I figure once we have a stobe light and a theramin the writting process should come more natural.

Quotedude, that's awesome!  I like #3 the best, and here's my suggestions:

1.  Cantina 101
2.  Trogledyte Sandwich
3.  The  Emo Lawn (It Cuts Itself)

Emo Lawn...............nice. ;D

The Public Pee Enducers.

2. How I Became The Bomb

So didya pick a fuckin' name yet or should we post 8 more pages of suggestions? ;)

You haven't heard?  We are "HEY GIRL!"  I was just posting some names of some other awesome band names.

OK great--I look for your tour schedule on the net (you do have a web page right  ;))

Hey Girl!  :D

An update on my band "Hey Girl"

So my best friend/bass player/lead singer/theramin pole is not really showing up for rehersal anymore (he's having a baby) so I've decided to kick him out of the band.  I've since recruited my brother in law to play in the band.  He plays guitar so it looks like I'm going to have to switch over to bass.  We were going to learn a Karate cover but it's just to much for me to handle right now so I suggested we learn "The Distance" by Cake.  He hasn't really responded to this suggestion so if anyone has any good ideas about a cover we can start out with that has a badass bass line and that's not to hard to play, Let Me Know.  Thanks,

Brian

P.S. Man, having a band is harder than I thought it would be.  At least we have a kickass name.  My next order of buisness is to create a Myspace page.  That should be pretty entertaining.

I have a couple band names I would use if I started a band...

Let me tell you
Battle ax
Bulldozer
Emosexual
Witch hunt

Emosexual = Brilliant

QuoteEmosexual = Brilliant

Heh, yeah I was proud of myself when I came up with that one.  ;D

Well, I play Catamaran (Kyuss) with my band. That´s a cool song to cover!

If you don´t have the song just let me know. I´ll send it to you!

on a similar note,
my brother's starting a record label... he's already got three or four groups on it. despite being only 18, he's quite determined... we've got our own little recording studio up in his room, now, and he just got a reel to reel recorder...
he and i are gonna make tapes... it's gonna be really great... i'm pretty excited.
it's gonna be ill...

This is a sign.

QuoteWell, I play Catamaran (Kyuss) with my band. That´s a cool song to cover!

I'm listening right now, the bass line in the intro/prechorus section is VERY cool.  Do you play the bass?      

"Look at us, we formed a band!!!!"

I hear Art Brut in my head every time I open this thread.
