So, off in the other room, my wife is blogging. You can go read it at T-Beri Blogs. Not to be outdone I felt it was time for a little blog action of my own.
On March fifth I blogged about my new band's search for a name. I told you that was the deadline for said new name and that we would have to have one picked by the end of the day. Well, not so much. We did play our debut show. On March seventh of 2012 we played a show at 2 My Place on Cortez Boulevard in Brooksville. We played 2 sets and it went pretty well, I think. Everyone seemed to have a good time. The only issue? The band name. I got frustrated trying to come up with a name that everyone liked and I put up a Facebook page for Rocket in Super8. That's what we went with. I want to book us some more shows but we really need a new name that everyone is happy with. Apparently all my suggestions are too long and complicated, and too "Science Fair Project" or something. Everyone says, "You need something simple." Here's the thing, bands have been naming themselves for longer than I've been alive. The simple names? Taken. If it's simple and it's not taken it obviously isn't any good. Since the show I have renewed my search for a new name with similar results to the last search. Wait, I thought of a great name. Oh, it's taken. By thirty-seven other bands. The search continues. So, here I am, begging you, my readers (yes, both of you) to comment below. Just give me a word. One word. Your favorite word. If you leave a word that ends up being (or being in) the band name, you win a prize (to be determined later) (Maybe a t-shirt or a sticker or both).
Yay for Fall!

ReplyDeleteI might even come out of my hermit cave for this. Have to...build up...strength...to endure...the public.
I think that Dr. Wanger and the Mental Midgets should be the name! Having asked so many people their thoughts reguarding your band name, that one gets the thumbs up.
ReplyDeletei will quit. i'm not kidding.
ReplyDeleteYou won't have to quit because that won't be the name.
ReplyDeleteOK, OK Here it is. Are you ready? RUCKUS!! Just hope you can muster the ego to go with naming a band after yourself. You can do it!
ReplyDeleteOr if that doesn't work, how about "Ruck of Ages"? I'm good, I know.
ReplyDeleteRuckus is a band in Jacksonville. Thanks for trying though. Keep at it. I'm glad someone is at least commenting.
ReplyDeleteHow bout this , Contusion/Infusion once this music hits your head with an impact you will just want to keep being infused with it.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^
ReplyDeleteNOT ME
Wasn't feeling well last night, had some weird dreams, wrote these down in the middle of the night.
ReplyDeleteRumours Aside (I prefer the UK spelling myself)
Additive Resistance
Love Runs Cold
Shortwave
Eco Without Lube
Kinda like Shortwave. Not sure about that last one though.
ReplyDeleteCrap. Shortwave is taken.
ReplyDeleteI dig Rumours Aside. I think Dennis has officially put more serious thought into the name than over half of it's members. Can you play the Egg Shaker, Dennis???
ReplyDeleteI can play the "get on the mike and make snide comments at the audience". Just to warm them up... I have my own guitar and can stand there and play the same three chords, I don't even have to plug in. I like to sing too but I assume that role is taken? :)
ReplyDeleteIs there a search engine fto check if something is already taken? or do you just google it?
ReplyDeleteI just Google _________ band. Also, if I don't find anything I will search MySpace & Facebook.
