Scotti,
I've got sundown/dawn stuff on the brain as it suggests the junction between future and past.

If you don't you this one I'm gonna use it for my new funkgrass project...
I never wanted them all, Just the ones I wanted.....
...neat Ben..but I dont think it will work for us...so you can use it...:0)
On a serious note...if your band is good and you think you might be together for a while, don't pick a name that is so cute you'll grow tired of it...or even be embarrased by it a year down the road.
A band name based on a bad pun or a raunchy double entendre gets pretty stale after while...and may even become an obstacle when trying to get those high-paying "dignified" gigs...choose something that sounds both rural and dignified, and you can't go wrong.
But, don't tag yourself with something as passe as the "River Mountain Valley County Boys" either.
Okay,Ironweed shot me down before I could post this suggestion(since it is based on a bad pun AND a double entendre) but here goes anyway,how about "THE CHIXIE DIX" or for your literary crowd "THE APES OF WRATH"
How 'bout yer signature: "Stay Tuned"

I had a friend who wanted to start a country-techno-punk gay band, and I suggested he call it Yeehaw Massacre. I guess that name might work for straight bluegrass as well. His band never materialized... I wonder why?

Scotti,
I am sure you have already checked, but if not, it's a good idea to check Bluegrass Unimited's yearly published band list. I used to have a group called Haywire and for a couple of years I would get a call from someone asking how long we had been using the name, etc. We were local/regional so it probably didn't matter if another group also used the name. But once they got famous, we could prove we used it first, sue them, and get rich! I guess it's the only way you could make money playing bluegrass.
