Starting a side project

So me and a couple good friends of mine are starting up a side project from our other bands. I've been playing with the guitar player for 6 years in two bands, and the drummer is pro caliber with the catch being he's engaged and extremely busy with his job.

But that's why it's a side project...and I'm looking for a name. Style will be reggae/funk with some ska and rock influences. Please provide one serious suggestion to go along with the obvious goofy responses and thread derail attempts. Serious suggestion being, that this is the name of a band you would go see on a Friday night, if you were into that kind of music. Something universal that doesn't limit us to reggae. Like my first idea for a name was "The Uptown Dubsteppers" but that's too genre limiting. Looking forward to some good ideas...thanks. :yesnod:

My best friend gave me what I considered to be the best band name ever, but even he didn't think we could get away with it.

He and the guitar player are black, and they suggested the band name:

The Problematic Negroes

Hmm....yea that'll get them into some trouble...but it's pretty funny. Being PC is all the rage nowadays. Should just call themselves "Domestic Unity Action Squad" or some shiz like that.

How about:

P Funk and the Panther All-Stars (Too George Clintonish?)

Island Funk (It's simple and gives people what you are about.)

Raggaetyme (Play on Rag Time)

Islandtyme (Hey they all can't be winners here.)

Lenny Stix and his Holy Roller Boogie Band (That was the name of the band I played in, in High School! Lenny Stix was the drummer!)

Reggae Root Cellar (It's a mixture of everything. It would be like RRC instead of CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival.))

Soul Fusion (That name maybe taken)

That's what I have off the top of my head.

Kinky Raggae (Bob Marley Song)

Rasta Man Chant (Another Marley song)

Purvayers of a Monochromed Mind (Maybe good if you are all Republicans.)

Intrepid Peasant System

I'm Funked!

Get Funked!

We're Funked!

Let's Funk!

Jamaican Me Crazy!

If I think up any more, I'll post them. I think I am named out. (You're like "Thank God!") Feel free to use any or none of them. ST

D.U.C.K.

No idea whdy, but id go see a band with a name like that!

So something more serious:

pennies for some cents (or sense of you want a terrible play on words.

Tag your dog (again totally random)

House plants for Fido (why another dog themed name? Good question)

Sit down, shut up, watch me rock out (would be nice to have an instructional name)

Those are the good ideas hitting me now

Hepcat and his Reggae All-Stars!

Hepcat and his Jamaican All_Stars

Hepcat and his Island All-Stars

OR

You could do what a friend of mine did.

INBOFIWE (Pronounced In-Bo-Fi-We) It was the first 2 letters of the 4 member's last names. They were pretty much assured that no one would have that name and it was memorable. (I still remember it 33 years later.)

I know, not all mine are winners. It's like spaghetti. You know when it's done when you can throw it against the wall and it sticks.

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
