Band name trouble

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 07.24.2007, 06:38 PM

Heres the situation. Me and a friend are planning on starting up a band but we both have an idea for a name. His is Dead Cowboy, after the lightning bolt track and mine is What Was Wound after the unwound track. Which do you think is better.
We haven't played yet but our intention is to create a sound somewhere betwwen Nirvana and Lightning Bolt.

"Beefwax"

Nuff said.

SynthethicalY · 07.24.2007, 06:41 PM

Dead Was Wound
What Was Cowboy
Dead Was
What Cowboy Wound
Dead Wound
Dead Was Cowboy
What Wound-Dead

I have no more.

you can smoke some DMT together and pick out the first thing that looks clear out of a dictionary...

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 07.24.2007, 06:49 PM

superb.

pbradley · 07.24.2007, 06:53 PM

Dead Cowboy reminds me of Space Cowboy which simultaneously reminds me of the Steve Miller Band and Jamiroquai. So I would avoid that... well, actually I like that Jamiroquai song.

But What Was Wound doesn't strike me as a good band name.

Both are kind of lacking.

fugazifan · 07.24.2007, 06:59 PM

i voted dead cowboy because it is one of my favorite songs. good choice

Inhuman · 07.24.2007, 07:06 PM

I like What Was Wound

k-krack · 07.24.2007, 07:12 PM

Why not make something up that isn't another band's song title...?

I believe yr going for the "400 Blows" sound, hehe. Don't worry, they destroy.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 07.24.2007, 07:20 PM

I've never heard of them.
Well some one else suggested Black Bolt, after the action figure hero guy thing.

terminal pharmacy · 07.24.2007, 07:45 PM

write your set first a name will come from that

Richard Pryor on Fire · 07.24.2007, 07:50 PM

Yeah make songs before you make up a band name.

drrrtyboots · 07.24.2007, 08:06 PM

Although i agree to write some songs before deciding upon a name, i'm a major unwound enthusiast and agree on what was wound completely.

atsonicpark · 07.24.2007, 10:00 PM

what was wound...

screamingskull · 07.25.2007, 05:24 AM

Dead Cowboy

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 07.25.2007, 09:12 AM

we're going to be jamming friday so we'll see what comes of it.

Trasher02 · 07.25.2007, 09:15 AM

Dead Cowboy is a terrible name...
You shouldn't be thinking of a name now it doesn't matter yet. It took my band 3 months until we found a decent name.

atsonicpark · 07.25.2007, 11:28 AM

yeah dead cowboy is terrible

demonrail666 · 07.25.2007, 11:31 AM

What Was Wound, definitely. No Question. Dead Cowboy is rubbish.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 07.25.2007, 06:19 PM
