PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP-NEW BAND NAME REQUIERED!!!!!!!

I play in a bnd called the Tassel Bandits with Euan Henderson, Colin Gordon and Alex Urqhart-Taylor. We r planning on playing @ sum festivals this year but we need a new name.It has to be short and snappy,modern,funky and original without being corny or cheesey. Our sound is like a lesser arranged Flook with Highland bagpipes and influences frm every music in world. I wondered if any1 could help with sum ideas.
YOUR HELP WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!!!

Thanks very much Matheu Watson

Re: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP-NEW BAND NAME REQUIERED!!!!!!!

Scarab? No idea why except sounds like scaraban.

The something 'robbers' like bandits?

I'll keep thinking and hope something more interesting occurs.

When do you need this by Matheu?

Dropping the Tel from your present name might get you some interesting bookings.

Take a look at http://www.thesession.org/discussions/display.php/1452/comments#comment24228 -- there's also a link to Searai's Band and Tune Name Generator there, if she's still got it up!

Re: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP-NEW BAND NAME REQUIERED!!!!!!!

How about "Flook of Seagulls" ?
(what on earth is a flook anyway?)

My mate recommends "Dead Horses on Acid", but I don't know if that gives off the right signals.
Hmm short, snappy, funky, modern and original without being corny.... for some reason "Bran Flakes" springs to mind, as does "Nelly Furtado".

Naw, I'm getting nowhere here.

p.s a Flook is a lucky accident, such as when you unintentionally pot a ball in a game of pool.

"Albino Catfish".
Since you have bagpipes, how about "Earplugs are for wimps".
What were the tassels attached to, and why were you stealing them? I'm picturing something involving strippers.

"Throbswitch"?
"Big Girls Blouse"?
"The Implants"?
"Preternatural"?

Conan: That's a lucky *fluke* surely? And the context is different - he says "Our sound is like a lesser arranged Flook..."

Conan (sorry, forgot what the code is for the accenty thingy), is that really how you spell that over there? Over here that's a lucky "fluke"...

If you take the initial letters of the surnames of all the band members except yourself, and the initial letters of your forename and the forename of one other member, you get:

HUGME

Re: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP-NEW BAND NAME REQUIERED!!!!!!!

Of Course, if you simply rearrange the letters of Tassel Bandits, you could call yourselves the Tinsel Bastads, and go for the Glam Rock market...

Re: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP-NEW BAND NAME REQUIERED!!!!!!!

I suppose the titles suggested SCARABAN and SCARAB would have nothing to do with the BEETLES would they?

A Fluke is also a parasitic worm that lives in the liver.

Flukes are also the triangular plates on a ship's anchor,and the lobes on a whale's tail.

Fluke is also the name of the outfit that did the music for that scene in the Matrix Reloaded where the Zion folks had a big trance festival type thing.
