danersen Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 The obvious one to me is "Contraception" or the plural thereof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLucas Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I thought this obvious name was taken, but a quick search suggests maybe not: The Contra Temps. http://mfs.org.au/wiki/index.php?title=Bands,_Musicians_and_Choirs#Contratemps Then how about Contratempestuous? Contra Temp Pests? (Not to be mistaken for permanent pests. ) Or The Contratempers? (I'll leave it to others to decide whether that means they're even-tempered or ill-tempered.)

JimLucas Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It's beginning to look like the best bet is to avoid trying to incorporate such references as "contra", "band", "reed" and "string". So my mind wandered to some old music hall song titles: Down the Road It's Nice to Get Up In the Morning A Little of What You Fancy (Does You Good) Names of tunes. Many good ones are already taken, e.g., Banish Misfortune Last Night's Fun Whiskey Before Breakfast (those last two both have concertinas). But there must be many good ones left.

Jack Campin Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Lots of bands name themselves after common tunes in the repertoire, but I bet "Hull's Victory" is taken. How about "Darcy's Defeat"? Edited September 10, 2014 by Jack Campin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayman Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) "The Band Whose Name Is..." So the caller will keep making announcements like "... and let's have another round of applause for The Band Whose Name Is..." Or even "... another round of applause for the band whose name is The Band Whose Name Is..." Edited September 11, 2014 by wayman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Molkentin Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Contrapoint? Definitely a nice one Alex, but... ...the deadline is in 10 hours. Edited September 11, 2014 by blue eyed sailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_holden Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Contrapoint? Definitely a nice one Alex, but... ...the deadline is in 10 hours. There's always Tippex (whiteout). Wouldn't be the first time a new band has changed its name after the posters for their first gig have gone to print! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLucas Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 ...the deadline is in 10 hours. As Wolf has noted, the deadline is past, so I presume any further suggestions will be for potential future use. Well, why not? Any and all suggestions here -- except any already taken -- should still be available to Jody or anyone else. I occurs to me that the more memorable band names rarely try to refer to either the dance or the music; instead they just have their own personalities. E.g., Grand Picnic (that's one of Jody's) Nightingale Wild Asparagus Fresh Fish Swallowtail For additional inspiration (or expiration?), here are links to a couple of past threads about band names: Band Names (2006) Band names (2009) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLucas Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I know the moment has passed.... Aye, it has. Am I the only one wondering what name they finally chose? (Rhetorical question. The answer is, "Of course not!" ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
