Starting a side project


hepcat

Recommended Posts

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.

A few more:

Reggae Voyeur

Policy Reggae

Reggae Craft

Angst Reggae

Kinky Raggae (Bob Marley Song)

Rasta Man Chant (Another Marley song)

Reggae Merchant

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.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
