name for a band...

[Jules]

Ok folks, I'm looking for a name for a one off band project, I've got set up (well, half set up). Jam sessions etc are all well and good, but I like bands- for the identity and common ethos, as well as the 'team' aspect. This one's a three (or possibly four if we get in a bassist or just possibly a scratch DJ/sampler guy) piece grungy hammond organ trio (organ, drums, me on tenor and guitar).... Brian Auger/ Jimmy Smith in a really bad mood, Medeski/Martin/Woods, a bit of 1970s New York jazz punk, slighlty Bitches Brew... funky but quite heavy and a bit disonnant in places....
But it needs a name- 'Hammond-X' has been done before (curses- love that one), 'Graham, Dean & Lawrence' does work as well as 'Emerson, Lake and Palmer' (which wasn't a great name in the first place!), always wanted to call a band 'Redneck Radio' but that's more of one for a rock & roll outfit....
Anyone any ideas... funky, New York No Wave/ CBGBs, hammond organs, film noir, the spiky end of 1960s mod club jazz, etc....?

So I'll kick off with:

Hammond Eggs

Later Edit: Whoops, brain not in gear, same as Hammond-X ... should've read original post properly ... I'll come back again later!!!

What version of Hammond is it and trust you join in and do the roadie bit.
If it's a B and you're on guitar:- B Strings

or if it's s G:- G Strings.

Okay, now banned from Crowborough.

I can never resist these;

Razorlaugh; Razor Alley; Backstreet Pimps; Backstreet Hoods (a bit "gangsta", that one); BrandNoir; Noise de Noir; Black Teeth; Nettlebed; BrightonFrighten.

Now - any bright ideas for a 12-piece R&B/soul/swing band - remarkably similar to Fat45 actually in line-up and genre?

Brand Noir's a good 'un!
Hm- R&B swing- always liked private detective movie themed names myself- my first jive/r&b outfit was called 'Dime Store Jive Revue'- loved the name, but severely flawed by being difficult to say when drunk!!
Will report back when inspiration hits me...
