Giving name to a musical project should be easy, right?
No. It never is.
It’s worse than naming a character in your story. Or a fictional place.
Everyone should be named Bruce and Sheila, and everyone should live on Main Street in Greenville. Sometimes I even write stories with placeholders like that.
See how simple that was?
But if I want to start a musical project… Eeesh. All the good ideas are taken.
I swear this is the absolute truth.
I bet there’s even a band named “Bruce and Sheila” (google tells me there are gospel groups performing under that name — several of them, in fact — so there goes that idear).
If you were starting a band that did coldwave/darkwave music, what would you call it? Be silly. Be creative. Be deadpan serious. I honestly want to see your ideas below. It could be educational. I’ll even give you kickbacks after my first half-million if I use it.
I’m sure Greenville is probably taken and isn’t all that coldwave, so don’t suggest it, please.

I haven’t a clue; but I’ll think about it. 🙂
Sheila and the Brucetones? 🤔
Hmmm … 🙂
Empty Icetray
That’s sad. AND cold.
🥶
Sheila’s Empty Icetray!
🤣🤣
The Doppler Effects
Bruce and the Doppler Effects!
It could work.
😉
This was a really fun read! Great work. I’d love for you to check out my latest work at storefrontsubway.com, if you’re interested! Always looking to get some feedback!
Interesting stuff. Keep it up.
Thank you!

Not bad. Better than some I’ve come up with by a long shot.
😉
Candles Under Water.
Or maybe Words Freeze Hearts
Trying to recall who those two names both “rhyme” with. Probably something like Black Tape For A Blue Girl.
Much better than most of the names I toyed around with yesterday. My creativity had capsized yesterday, I think.
Not sure it’s righted itself today.
I vaguely recall a couple of songs from them. I think I liked them. Maybe go back…
Is The Cold Dark Wave taken?
It appears that it is completely available. A bit on the nose, so that seems likely the reason. Believe me, though, I’ve played with all three words at one point or another in other combinations.
Sheila and The Cold Dark Wave…?
Frozen Words
Frozen Birds
Ice Fighters
Locked Steps
Chilled Verbs
Darkland Movers
Cold Case
Frigid F***er
Okay, I think I need coffee.
Lol. I might have to use that last one, at least for a song title. 🤣
Here’s the joe… ☕
