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.

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.

      2025 Salary Cap Offense/Defense

      By strato · Posted

      I expect Young to play better and the team to play better.  Week one is something I refuse to give much weight to, going back to when we had 4 preseason games.    All kinds of unpredictable outcomes happen week one. Seen it too many times to discount that. Since the 17 game schedule, I don’t pay much mind to results and how the units look until week 3. The units just need time to get the teamwork and timing together under real conditions. Not a series at 90% in preseason. That won’t do it. And it is hard to get around it.  But Frank is right when he points to the difference in how the offense looks with an NFL level arm behind center. Seattle in 2023, Vegas in 2024, were just liberating for the passing game.    This Bryce ball is no fun to watch unless he is having a day where  everything is clicking. Which I think we saw one time. Out of 29. Meh.

      Doesn't help that Coen beat up on Evero's defense pretty good last season both times. Looks (and sounds, according to TLaw) like he has the scheme figured out. 😮

      Injury report

      By CRA · Posted

      Yeah, it’s not complicated. is a seam route a hospital ball? No. can a seam route be a hospital ball ? Yes.   if you are throwing seam routes do you need to make sure you don’t hang your TE/WR out to dry? Yes.  Because of injury.  as a former NFL QB explained….Bryce was late with the throw (common issue with Bryce) and  threw it too far up field.  So a seam route became a hospital ball. result? An incompletion that got his WR banged up  honestly have no clue what Bryce defenders are doing at this point.   I’m out on talking about all his bad throws from Sunday.
