DVA! What a coincidence!  If you heard my steel playing, you'd have no problem understanding the "shameless" part.-Shameless Dave ------------------ |

There was a band in Dublin a few years back called George, Bernard & The Hardshaws... I'm not sure if that means anything to people outside of Ireland, but maybe a literary mided soul out there would find it hilarious. |

One of the bands I played in was called The Burnt River Band. One time a bar billed us as The Burnt Liver Band (probably a reflection of our habits at the time)Another time the same bar billed us as The Burnt Pastry Band it was right beside the local bakery. Go figure! |

In vet school in the early 70's I was in a band called "The Falling Burdizzo Brothers" (A burdizzo is an instrument used to castrate cattle) Ater that one of the bands that I was in was called "Soap on a Rope" (what everybody gets but nobody wants) |

Hey Jim - I was once an unwitting accomplice to castrating a sheep 'Western Style', if you know what that is... (this, of course, has nothing to do with steel guitar, but at least it got honorable mention...) |

How about "Ladies and Gentlemen"? The MC would always end up introducing them twice. In high school, I had a brief stint in a band called "Sweaty Leggs". The name was out of character for me. "Hybernating Turtles" would fit me better. The band I spent most of my time in during high school was called "Prizm". |

No really funny ones but: Santa Fe Linemen (gag) Artificial Grass Holy Garage Band Lisa Traylor and the Movers Racket Club Borderline- imaginitive, huh? Speaking of which, I have a standing bet with my bandleader that there's a 'Borderline' band in most states in the union. Who's right? |

OK, why not call your band "Cape Cod-piece". Your house gig could be at "Uncle Phuckers Chuckle Hut". If you are really looking to name your band, be sure to try your possible band names in online search engines to see if anything bad comes up, or maybe some other band comes up that already has that name. Be sure that your band name dosen't rhyme with "suck" or "crap", because if it does, and for some reason your local weekly paper has something negative to say in a review of your music, you will have made their job way too easy. |

I always liked Elmer Fudpucker and the Puckups. Don Schlitz and Toilet Water. Pee Wee Gokey and the Country Squirrels,Featuring Smiley. I know Smiley it was the Squires.I always thought the other one fit better,and finally Bill Balls and the Briefs. Smiley?How could you ever be in a band called the Four Unknown Country Kickers when you are the WFSR?  ------------------ [This message was edited by Joe Casey on 12 June 2000 at 05:50 AM.] |

I played with a few guys in a hastily assembled band backing a girl singer for a weekend. We called it, "Cathy Con Carne". Jeanne, the lead female singer of my current band, has threatened to call us, "Jeanne and the Four Skins". We guys claim she's put the " c**t back in country". Then there's the ever-popular," The Ben Dover Band". And finally, my personal favorite and the one which has often rung true, " Talent Takes A Holiday". |

Uhm...Clinton Gregory...remember him? His band (with steeler Jim Murphy) was called the "Swingin' Johnsons." D.C. had a band known as "The Wretched Outcasts," my all-time favorite name...they were truly wretched too and I mean that in a very amusing and affectionate way...good folks. ------------------ |
