A buddy of mine and I are starting a duo (perhaps adding a bass player soon) and are interested in a band name that suggests swing music without being too on he nose about it. Lap steel and guitar.
We have a list but I was never great at thinking of good band names. Any suggestions? |

Well I've been saving this one up to use myself but it doesn't look like I'm ever going to get around to it so I might as well donate it if you like it: "The Consultants of Swing"

Avoid any play on words. Use something interesting and strong. Don't type-cast yourselves.

If you're up for a laugh and have a Richard in the band you can use the name:
Swinging Dicks. 
Remember you heard it here first.

That was good. Too good: At least two other bands out there called this. (According to Facebook.) |

All yours for a song title, Nate. No such thing as a bad pun. I think Cul de Sac Cowboys is a winner. I'd buy the t-shirt.

Swinging Dicks all the way.
I'd buy that shirt.
Maybe a picture of famous dicks. Like dick Van dyke etc.

"Billy Goat Rope"
That'd be an excellent name for a western act with a comedy side |
