Looking for Cool Band Name for Covers Band!?
We're a Covers/Wedding band looking for a COOL band name.
Gone are the days of the 6-piece middle-aged bands playing their guitars under their chins with big brass sections.
Nowadays, since people getting married are the same age as us (Late 20s or early 30s) they want rocking, young, cool bands.
Our band are 4-piece - 2 "Front-men" - a hot redhead female, and a good looking guy that looks a combination of a chubbier Brad Pitt and Keith Urban.
The 2 front people have AMAZING powerful vocals. Female is similar to Christina Aguilera/Tina Turner/Bonnie Tyler, and the Male vocalist is similar to John Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls) mixed with Bryan Adams and Bon Jovi.
We have friends in wedding bands who are very successful are they are called "Three Card Trick" - doesn't sound like a wedding band, just sounds like a cool band name, and they have the bonus of having the VISUAL element of building the website around Black, Red and White colours (like playing cards)
Names we've thought of so far are:
- 3 Guys and a Girl
- Final Cut
- Fistfull of Covers
- GASP! (it's all the letters of our names put together!)
- 4D (like 3D, but better!)
- Sell-Out
- Dusk Til Dawn
- Dangerous When Wet
- House Arrest
- On The Rocks
- No False Moves
- House on Fire
We really wanted something that represented US as people (the 2 front people - that's us! - are a couple who live together, and we met through music - we're both really strong vocalists, and get on like a house on fire, hence one of the name choices!)
Any input would be most welcome!!
At the moment we're called "HarmonEyez" because we harmonise with each other all the time, and it was also a personal choice because we compliment each other musically/vocally. However, our new manager says he wants us to choose something less "Wedding Band" and a bit more cool/edgey.
Only thing I can say is that we're NOT an Indie-Style band and we don't really play anything by UK Indie bands - we play a mixture of Classic Rock (AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake), 90s Pop/Rock, Classic Soul (Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Billy Ocean), and Chart Hits from 00s to Current Chart.
All input would be SO appreciated, as we're going to be doing videos this week and we will need a band name to be able to modify the website and get the ball rolling!!
Thank you!

I think GASP! or Dusk til Dawn sound the best out of that lot. Hope you make it anyway, whatever your name!

I like Sell-Out, On The Rocks and Dusk Till Dawn - you need something fairly punchy, not too pretentious and nothing violent if you're doing Weddings.
Think about who's going to hire you: they'll probably be looking for a fairly happy-sounding band, not someone who'll come and smash the stage up. Remember, if they're not sure about the impression they get from the name, they won't choose you, so don't go for anything risky.
Other than that, sounds good ;) wish you luck!
