I'm trying to find a name for my solo music project. In terms of sound it's a bit like The Microphones / Bob Dylan / Neutral Milk Hotel / Daniel Johnston Which is the best name?
High and Dry Plastic Bed Carnival Kids Adam's Right Rib Flowers of Asphalt The Hermaphrodites The Man Without Qualities Mount Analogue Mr. Noon The Original Laura Club Sleeping Venus The Dreamers The Asphalt Foundation
Brody Hall
Bump
Kevin Kelly
I'm sorry if this isn't the answer you're looking for, but if this is solo then use your own fucking name. Stop trying to separate yourself and your aesthetic from the sensibilities of pop stardom, it looks tryhard and uninspired as fuck
Austin Williams
But my last name is "Weinberg". If anything I'd change my last name to something that flows of the tounge easier. Maybe "Hughes" or "Sheer" or "Jones"
Jaxson Barnes
Not really a fan of any of these desu
Brody Martin
High and Dry. Others a bit too cliche for me.
>Plastic Bed >Adam's Right Rib >The Hermaphrodites >The Original Laura Club le quirky random nonsensical names xD
Thomas Watson
Radiohead.
John Mitchell
Changing your name or adopting a stage name, imo, is far superior to ANOTHER bedroom project with a non-sequetor band style name.
Maybe I'm on the wrong side of things here, but I'm tired as fuck of reading about new music in blogs and seeing 'Donkey Rails Girl, the alias of lo-fi psych-pop producer Bertie Funkelstein' or 'Muhammad Trevor-Noah, aka THETOUCHOFUNCLEBEN, started recording sparse, ambient soundscapes out of his London flat in 2016.'
Adrian Taylor
I agree with that sentiment 100%, but Adam's Right Rib doesn't really qualify
Justin Ward
Well put
Charles Anderson
The fuck. So is mine. Who the fuck are you, cousin?
And when I release solo work I'm gonna use my last name, pony up mother fucker.
Adrian Davis
>not using the name Weinberg in an industry run by Jews Are you an idiot?
Jaxson Sanchez
Bob Dylan did it so I feel like I wanna follow in his footsteps. I could own up to it tho
Oliver White
Answer me, cousin.
Colton Garcia

Jaxon Nelson
Ah, the "I can't sing but pretend that's part of the appeal" aesthetic.

Luis White
>High and Dry >naming yourself after some other bands's song, especially one that named themselves after some other band's song
>le quirky random nonsensical names xD oh fuck you i think it's time those make a comeback the last one sounds like there's an interesting personal story behind it the first one's good because it works metaphorically, ykno comfort in consumerism, but that's almost a vaporwave cliche
Daniel Wood
>Mr. Noon -Implies that it's a solo project -Gives off folk vibes -It's a literary reference so everyone knows you're pretentious
This is the best choice by far
Cooper Sanchez
If you pick Mr. Noon, OP, I'll be Mr. Midnight and we'll race across Massachusetts to meet in the middle.

Wyatt Anderson

I'm currently in Boston, Weinberganon. The way you describe your music sounds pretty cool. Make sure to post a link here if you ever release anything.
Ethan Cruz
Im very in-tune with naming. ive made lots of good names. I will rate your names
>I would listen to: The Original Laura Club The Hermaphrodites Sleeping Venus
>I might listen to: The Dreamers Mount Analogue (but sounds like Mount Eerie)
>I would not listen to: High and Dry Carnival Kids Adam's Right Rib Plastic Bed Flowers of Asphalt The Man Without Qualities The Asphalt Foundation Mr. Noon
Leo Rodriguez
If you're gonna make your stage name a musical reference try and be more sublt fuckwit.
Is the proper way to do it. Only adopt a name like those for a group, solo projects should just be a stage name or a real name.
Andrew Diaz

Parker Rogers

David Johnson
Hmmm. PENIS, is it? That sounds good. It seems very like you. But if you'd like to change it, I can help you do that, too. How about it?
