Got the lineup sorted out for my new band... (sounding really strong, by the way - I'm excited) and we booked an Icehouse gig next month. Drive By Truckers, Uncle Tupelo, Whiskeytown, Lucero kind of stuff. BUT we still haven't settled on a band name.

Some better ideas so far include:

rosco
the juncos
the split rails
the whiptails
mule kick
sweet spirits of cats-a-fighting (guitarist likes this one)
delco


Any ideas?

thanks for playing :-)

I do like black boots

Also - if it were up to me... I'd use lots of obscure amp/vacuum tube references (6L6 for example) but those names don't hold up as well if you don't get the reference. We were thinking about calling the band the eighteen watts... but if you don't know about small Marshalls, doesn't make for a good name.

another idea:

the spitunes
