Punkavenger Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Ku Klux Klowns?Brilliant! and for the punk/sci-fi geek crowd, Ku Klux Klingons!Turdus,I was at U of R from '93 to '96 and left Richmond in '99. Don't remember the Dads, but spent time with GWAR and Lamb of God.Deadbeat Dads was intended as a currently relevant equvalent of the early punk band names like the Dead Kennedys. Probably a bad idea for a group of 50 year olds to incite that degree of negativity. More likely options that tend more toward self defacing humor include:Artful CodgerThe 'Sconnie FossilsSwillbilliesI'm going with "Swillbillies" here ... I realize you actually are a bunch of old f*ckers but do you really want your bands name to reflect that fact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadgerDave Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 I like Swillbillies best so far, but tell us about the band for more suggestions. Since you asked: Old guys who were in a locally popular band 30 years ago. Back then, we played power pop with punk overtones, originals and covers of tunes by Cheap Trick, Off Broadway, Bram Tchaichovski, Greg Kihn, 20/20, Adam Ant, and the Ramones. Gradually the band incorporated country/rockabilly influences and was an unknown early participant in the punk-country psychobilly genre. When that ended after it's 4 months of popularity, we played weddings for a year and broke up. We now want to play the occasional bar gig and charity event, have fun and not practice very much. We're not interested in making money, but we recognize the obligation to sell drinks for the venue. Musically, we'll be doing instantly recognizable classics (The Wanderer, Crimson and Clover, I Think I Love You, Oops I Did It Again) in a simplifed heavy style much like the Ramone's version of Needles and Pins. If you remember the Fools doing "I Don't Wanna Grow Up", you're right on target. Ideally, I'd like the name to convey seasoned guys who can play, but don't take themselves seriously as players. We wouldn't think of engaging in anything as self-indulgent as "shredding" or "jamming" (not that there's anything wrong with that) We want to promote fun and nostalgia and a name with a touch of humor is important. If I went somewhere and the band was the Deadbeat Dads, I'd probably just assume that they wouldn't show up That's hilarious. I'm using it when we convene to discuss the band name.

Artful Codgers is good, too. I dunno why no one likes 'The Raging Sh!ts'. Too raw? Edited to add: I think the name 'The Oneders' is still available...

Ranger Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Anything with "Dead" in it invites long-winded, misplaced and sometimes mean rants from Grateful Dead nuts. Trust me on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
