Always keeping you down - The Man
February 11, 2009The Man would be my band in the early 70s… Radical politics with underpinnings of funk… Giving it back to, well, The Man.

Okay, not technically a band name (but it might work), John and I Went to Boston would be a great name for a folk song–maybe a song done by Donkey Cart.
Actually, it seems that any time you combine someone’s name with a verb and a city name, you get a good name for a folk song… works everytime as far as I can tell.
My early 80s Heavy Metal, all girl (and me) band — Daughters of Robert–yes, all with dads whose name is Robert.
We played for a while in the LA scene (The Whiskey, etc.) but when Joan Jett took over pop radio, it broke our hearts… for awhile we even tried to out-do her by becoming a Tommy James and the Shondells cover band… to no avail.
(Sorry it has been awhile, I am back on it now… Band Name courtesy of Amy)
If I were in a 50’s Doo Wop group, my band name would be The Soultunes. We would also have had a few small hits with Motown in the 60’s.
Later the only surviving member (please let it be me) would change the name to SoulTune and play contemporary jazz-hip hop with righteous songs of political and social commentary… or maybe weddings.
If I were in an all girl band (well, mostly) my band name would be Chicklet. We would rock college radio…
Either Folk Music or Speed Metal, a good band name would be Donkey Cart .
Coming soon to a club near you, my band — Republican Car Wash. Funk band that features a tuba player. (And, no, we would not play a fundraiser for any political party).
If I were in an emo rock group, my band name would be: My Ethiopian Cabbie.
If was in a death metal band, my group’s name would be Der Hexxer Von Oz. (Have you ever watched the extra commentary in The Wizard of Oz?)
