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.

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

Intrepid Peasant System

I'm Funked!

We're Funked!

Let's Funk!

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.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.

      I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.

      Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
