me figure out a name for my band.
It’s a new blues-rock project i have started and we have done 2 warm up gigs…without a name. I don’t feel quite right introducing us as “hi…errr…ok enjoy”.
I wanted to pick out a name which was aviation based…mostly from the air force side. Maybe an old air wing name from WWII or a current air wing name which sounds good.
I read somewhere… Mosquito Intelligence which i have kept as an option.
So over to you bright (?) folks… 😀

hmm some really good ideas in there. I like The Hints, Mayday, The Sidewinders.
Ren…too long. :p

The music is very… riff based Zpellelin meets BB King meets Spin Doctors style stuff.
Howabout ‘Lucille and the Two Princes of Kashmir’… paying tribute to your musical and cultural influences in one succinct sentence.;)

Bristol Siddeley and the Vipers….
Makes me want to dance just thinking about it…:D

Cobra-after that dinky manouvre performed by the Mig 29, or you could be utterly predictable and go for Spitfire

Contrails sounds too everyday to me. :confused:
LOL.. ‘everyday’?? imagine trying to promote a business with that name – and everywhere you go the 1st question you hear is… “what’s a contrail?” (and I’m not joking in the least)
but now that you’ve described the band’s style, I hereby retract my oh-so-generous offer due to ‘creative differences’… 😉

What about “Tuskegee” after the famous Tuskegee Airmen
hmm the whole Tuskgee Airmen sounds distinct… will keep it under consideration.
cheers Steve, keep them coming.
🙂

How about “Blue Steel”

Can’t do that Steve… its a brand of strings by Dean Markley. :p
The music is very… riff based Zpellelin meets BB King meets Spin Doctors style stuff.
I have already put across Free Beer to the bands SOC..lets see.

How about a name that was thrown around my old office… ‘Room Full of Goalies’ (but the audience needs to know hockey)
You can even use my dead company name (pluralized) … ‘Contrails’
Try taking a hint from the aerobatic teams/performers… ‘Outside Loop’.. ‘Hammerheads’ (I think that was done already)…
I still like Free Beer (don’t we all???)
It all depends on what the band plays… the name has to match the sound.
You can’t have my buddy’s band’s name (A Few Small Problems)… and believe me, knowing the band, they all have a few small problems – great marketing op for me – and they’re very LOUD.
