Need a clever name for a country band

I thought that I had nailed it with The Highway 50 Band. So I googled it, and apparently, every 150 miles or so there is a different Highway 50 Band. I suppose I could do the me too game and use it anyway, but I'd rather not. Any and all suggestions surely welcomed. I've got gigs booked, but no name.

Sierra Swing Band - You're awful close to em.

"The lackofname band"?

Our second choice was Double Barrel Band. I still kinda like it. Havent' googled it, but if it's not too common, feel free to use it.

I have posted this name before. "big hat no cattle" maybe someone will like it eventually?

"BAKERSFIELD"

Stud Hoss and the Geldings :lol::lol::lol:

Shifty and Slick 50

The Aristocrats

and if you don't know the joke, look it up

Skinny Gene and the Cargo Boys.

Our second choice was Double Barrel Band. I still kinda like it. Havent' googled it, but if it's not too common, feel free to use it.

My friends band is named Double Barrel Darrel.

the highway 51 band?... or highway 49?...

the Side roads?.... the Gravel Tracks.....

the Mudsliders... the Help we're Bogged'ers....

the Get a Tow Truck'ers...

how about "Knot City"......

...so many names.. so little time... sigh..

I've been listening to old time radio. And have fallen in love with a show called Melody Roundup. In it, bands like The Sons of the Pioneers take requests from soldiers. The hosts include Hopalong Cassidy, California Carlson, Walter Brennan, etc. But my favorite--and I would love to see the band called this--LUM AND ABNER!!!

Skeet 'n BBQ

You mean?...
there isn't a web based program that randomly chooses country band names.. already up and running?
mmm?

well there's an android opportunity.....

Have you considered, "We're Drunk"?

3,000 Miles (that's the length, roughly, of US 50 from here in Ocean City, Maryland, to Sacramento).

Tim

Try this:

Route 66

Every road leads here.

What exit are you closest to on the highway? For example, Exit 84.
I want to name a band after a Bob Wills song.

3,000 Miles (that's the length, roughly, of US 50 from here in Ocean City, Maryland, to Sacramento).

Tim

There's a sign on Interstate 80 (i guess it shares the road with highway 50) just west of Sacramento that says "Ocean City, MD 3,186 miles" or whatever the exact number is

There's only one really good name left...

"The Manure" - however IF you're not "the manure" you could very well end up being pelted with the manure.
So...ya better be awesome.
Or else...:twisted:

"Swifty Taylor & the CMAs"

The Cordovans.

The UnFair Oaks.

The Ugly American River Band

The Placer County Playboys

The Roseville goes in the front big guy band

The Highway 50 Cent band

The Donner Party of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Tahoe Stepchild

The Twangin' Gaptooths

What sticks out for me from your post is "The Me Too Game"

I think there might be a comma but I'm bad at punctuation.

I always wanted to start a band called Squirrel Jerky.

Al Jourgenson from Ministry has a country band with an unusual name.

http://r0.sgsr.us/imgs/250/sb2467.gif

How about "Forrest Gump & the Runners"?

The Chuck Norris Experience (i.e. brief and painful)

Not really a country band name, but I've always wanted to start a band called Found by Joggers.

As for country band names, I was in this band where we got an atlas and randomly turned to a page and I plunked my finger down randomly and took the resulting place name and added "String Band" onto the end. it was much more interesting than anything we could have thought of. Try it.
-Mr. N.

the good ole blues brothers boys band

The Buttless Chaps.
Ten Gallon Drought.
Denim Revolver.
Stompin' Tumbleweeds.

sum country banned

Many tears ago the band I was in was called Big Country and then this UK band came along with a hit record so a name change was required, we also covered a wide variety of styles from Don Williams, Gordon Lightfoot, Pure Prarie League, Eagles, Doobies, Beach Boys, and a bit of disco stuff.

The name didn't really fit our style so we changed to George's River Ripples, a couple of the guys were oyster farmers on the George's River.

The Pure Prarie League stuff was our preferred style but when you are working 6 nights a week you need a fairly diverse song book.

My mates band at one stage had all left handed mambers so the called themselves Left Hand Drive

I found the generator for bluegrass bands and I think, it possible to use it for country bands:
http://www.ratemyband.co/Band-Name-Generator/Bluegrass
If you want 'clever' name, you can attach the word 'Dyslexic' to every name, for example:

'The Dyslexic Navajo on the Freight Train'

Skoal Ring Cowboys
Ramblers and Ropers
Dusty Boot Boys

Carpet Burn
Rug Rash

The Rose Ellen Clampett Conspiracy

*Rose Ellen Clampett was Ely May's sainted momma.

Cement Pond

How about "Forrest Gump & the Runners"?

Forrest gump and the runner beans... Theres a name.

How about call your band the me too game? You said it yourself and someone may have already mentioned it but if my band didnt have a game id call it that.

Sacramental

Migrant Pickers

three chords ( but no truth)...on the same theme :three chords and a Lie

for history students :

the Dog Soldiers ,

the Mojave penguins ( quite psychedelic !)

The Chuck Norris Experience (i.e. brief and painful)

I would go see them

Jon K and the Wolf-Steppers

Great Band name but already taken here in Detroit, "Lil Stubby and the Disappointments"

Seeing as I know less than nothing about country music, I imagine my suggestions will be useless at best, but here goes:

The Nameless Cowpokes
Goldangit
50 Miles of Bad Road
Corduroy Hat and the Headliners
The Shoulda-Beens

The Ken Barely Playboys

the el dorado freeway band

The Prairie Grass Rancher's Cooperation

The Get Off My Lawn Boys

Harmony Ranch

Tumblin' Tumbleweeds

Saddle Swingers

The Goat Ropers
I saw an album titled "Old and in the way" I always thought that would be a goat band name.

Well, in this thread here (http://www.tdpri.com/forum/bad-dog-cafe/281602-were-starting-band-but-i-need-help-2.html) a few weeks ago, I suggested Cardboard Coyotes to another band-name-seeking brother. I never heard that he used it, and I'm not a country player, so I'll never use it. It's yours.

W.W. and the Dixie Dance Kings (Burt Reynolds tribute)
Cactus Juice

Not very country, though.

Gave me:

band name: Armenia Fed Cup
album name: Which Bridge To Cross
cover:

Not very country, though.

Hmm, by band is:
Jagodowo, Pomeranian Voivodeship

Album name: Think Of Their Needs

Has a certain ring to it..

If I ever got a country band together I was going to suggest Psycho-billy Cadillac (from the Johnny Cash song "One Piece at a Time").

Feel free to use it, as you seem to be in the market for a name, and I'm still in the market for a band.

Red Ryder and the Psychobilly Cadillacs

Not only a great name but a nice reference to the classic "One Piece At a Time" by Johnny Cash

I guess I should have read all the suggestions BEFORE I posted mine!

Californicators

Jackwagon

The Elopers

Perdido

The Toons (as in wordplay on Tunes or spittoons)

The Rhythm Rustlers (or Wranglers)

Kissin' Kousins

Outhouse Posse

wandering cayuse

etc... ala "Don't Fence Me In"

If you want 'clever' name, you can attach the word 'Dyslexic' to every name, for example:

'The Dyslexic Navajo on the Freight Train'

That would be "The Dyslexic Javano on the Treight Frain"

Goober and the Yokels?

On second thought, I like Goober and the Peanuts better.

Try this:

http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2009/03/random-band-name-cover-album/

Name: Dick Grimmond
Album: That should be secondary.

Album Cover:

No Sense of Yuma, if you're a cowboy type western band

The Sheep Pimps
Trail of Beers
Hell Fire Preachers

May I suggest

"Stud Fees Extra"
"Ropes 'n Whips"
"Saddle Sore"
"Spur Crazy"
"Gee Dee 'n Cee Forever"

country has to have that tele twang so I'd call it twang galaxy

Locally, I've seen on signs: No Cover and Free Shotz
what about Greasebucket (great if you do some blues covers) or Bottlerocket or Rocket Throttle

Youl liked Hiway 50, why not just change it to:

Rollin' on Highway 33!

Almost Nevada

The Kau Pi Band
Road Kill
The Squarebalers
The Elastrators
Mountain Oyster Cult
Beefalo
The Meat Packers
The Brown Eggs

Black Mesa
-Mr. N.

Crank Your Tractor is a good name.

If I was to start a country band, we'd either be called The Bumpkins or Snapbutton.

Our first album would be called "The IHOP/Waffle House Line."

And we'd play hipped up western swing and roadhouse boogies...

"Mountain Oyster Cult"... that made think of a similar one

the Prairie Oyster Cult...
the Prairie Oyster Sippers... the Prairie Oyster Regurgitators ?...

though, I think my first page thought... "Not City" or "Knot City"... would let people know where you're coming from when they see the posters....

Highway Fitty Tree... if it's trio?..

Okay, here you go...

Cactus Mishap

Best I can come up with is:

The Laa-dee-daa Hillbillies

But then I'm from England so what do I know about Country music...

I've always wanted to called a band "Proper Job" but never convinced anyone else of it...

The Sheep Pimps


if it has half of the meaning I can see in it, this would be a good name !:grin:

Big Buckle and the Eight Second Thrillride

The Aussies will get this one! "Jock Strap and the Rubber Band"

Also a local band here (Bundaberg ) called "Band on the Rum "

(Google Bundaberg Rum.)

I always wanted to be in a band called "Wrinkle Rock" but you obviously play that other stuff!:lol:

Saddletramp.

Twangbangers

Kentucky Breaks ...or similar
no idea where it came from or what it means .We were going to call a country band this in the eighties .

Short Rope
Cowskin Creek
The Inbreeders

Sacktown Wranglers?

maybe you should take a standard C&W song and pull apart some lyricks
Or a not so standard country song:

Lonely Plain
Big Beef Train < good one!
There Before Me
Road Train
Engine Groan
Time To Think
Folks Back Home
Ramblin' Shoes
Born To Know
Stop And Get Out
Nothing Going
About To Break
Sweat, Curse and Struggle

Gee, nothing fits the bill yet?


Thats it! Fits the Bill :wink:

Think we scared him off?

Back in the Saddle

Pitchfork

Combine

Barbwire

Sweet Grass

Boot Cut



Personally I like Boot Cut

Here's a couple of offbeat choices:

Go, Dog! Go!

Corinthian Leather Cowboys

The Long Necks
The Dingo Babies
Stink Bombs
Is What It Is

END: Stream of Conciousness

Twangbangers

Taken, at least twice. Once with Bill Kirchen, Redd Volkaert and others, check out their "28 days on the road album"

Also, I found out that Bottlerocket isn't taken that I've seen, but the "The Bottle Rockets" is.

Had a few more good ones come to mind...

By the Numbers (band of nashville session cats)

The Everglades

VBS Dropouts

Van Waylon

The Boot Liquors

Rolled up Jeans

Rolled up Sleeves

Pants on the ground
