The **Velvet Elvises** are nixed. How about \*\* Velvet Poker Dogs \*\* or **Velvet Jesus** I’m on a bit of a theme here. Other suggestions: **No Worries** (would make a cool t-shirt.) **Van down by the River** **Straight From Gary’s(or whomever) Garage** \*\*KungFu Vampire’s \*\* **Feelgoodmakenice** **Catholic School Girls in Knee Socks** That would be fun. If you guys end up doing Porn music you could call yourselves: **The Pink Tacos** 😛 I like **American Standard** , their might be legal ramifications, but it’s clean, fresh, memorable. ---

I was going to suggest a former bar band I was involved in, but Cruise Control was taken. How’s 'bout Guy Wire String Band Natalie Dressed (geez I can’t get first word to look good but I think you know what I mean :rolleyes: ) The Pundents if you’re into bad jokes as song segues 😉 Me and Them got to get back to work…not a name…but hey feel free! 😛 Good luck ---

I know this is a ridiculus suggestion, but I recently saw an interview on “The Daily Show” and they reported that South Carolina had a law that made the bars serve their alcohol in mini bottles. Well if you ask me a name like: The Mini Bottles would be a cool name for a band. I know it probably won’t fit for your style of music, but best of luck to you and your band. ---

Inspired by a certain, uh, “enhancement ad”: **Four-Hour Boner** Probably not what you’re looking for, so I offer **Smile When You Say That, Mister Comedy Third Option The Gotcha Yas!** and, continuing the Satchel Page theme… **The Cool Papa Bells** ---
