I hope to start gigging again at some point. My focus will be on the premise that as baby boomers retire they will seek live music again, just as they did the FIRST time they had too much time on their hands.
With that thought in mind, I'd like to brainstorm names for my "band" that clearly associate it with a night out listening to songs from our youth.
Since I think most of us have mellowed in our taste, I will probably filter out the hard stuff and focus more on the easy listening stuff and maybe some fun dance songs.
For example, somebody who is trying to sound like James Taylor might call himself "J.Tease"
For a bluesier set I might use the name "ZZPatt"
My brass set could be "Winston-Salem Transit Authority"
Country set here in the bible belt might be "Wholesome Prison Blues"
Patriotic : "Red White and Blues band"
or a reference to the fact that songs bring us back to days gone by: "Time Machine"
or maybe a name that doubles as an ad for a web site, such as "WS-Boomer-Music.com"
These are just seeds for thought.
What are YOUR ideas?

Looking at the age of your target audience, how's about-
Earth, Wind And Flatulence.
Or as my kids like to call my band-
Un-Kool and the Gang.

Hey GOG, Wouldn't Earth, Wind And Flatulence be redundant? I.e. Earth, Wind and Wind.  Later,

You've probably done this already. You have more chin whiskers than I. For song titles I use the 50 title generator, which gives me ideas to add or change words to try to fit genre and song. https://www.google.com/#hl=en&gs_nf=...=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=b4decfe756d0bf8f&biw=1189&bih=661 Some of these link generate weird and funny names.... How about "Harvey and I", BIAB being the invisible member.

At the risk of providing too much information, I believe that wind only becomes flatulence if it escapes. Debatable point though, Danny!

Seriously, practice. practice. Practice.
When the act is a cut above the rest, when the performance is STRONG, it don't matter WHAT you call it...
Work it 'til you OWN it, you can safely name it after yourself, man.

You could be Pat Marrtino, at least until you get the Cease and Desist letter. Especially effective if you play jazz...

Hey ROG,
Not sure of Pat's age but there are a few of us on this forum old enough to have had wind "escape" from time to time. Just saying.
Later,

Pat,
Some of these are ace - run with them.
I like ROG/Mac's EWF references. "Break Wind and Fire" has a real nice ring to it and certainly brings a smile to the face.
How about these - maybe not so funny....

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
