Virtually all people would say the first thing to do is to find a name for the band. Lets start from there s venue we??

The auditions are over, you have found your bass player and you all seem to get along really well. The excitement is in the air and you have had your 1st band bonding celebration.

Now its time to start your musical journey together.

Personally, I think that finding a performer name is THE hardest decision that the performer will ever have to make and for that reason one of the the majority necessary decisions as well.

A performer name is a eminently important part of the artists identity. It’s the first point of contact a punter has with the band.

Does this conversation sound familiar to you?

Them: “Hey, I saw this cool performer last night. You gotta check them out”

You: “Cool, what has been the name of the band?”

Them: “Ummmmmm……. I do not know”.

Arrrrrgh!!!! I get that all the time.

I cannot remember how many times people have raved about a band to me but cannot tell me the name when I ask them. Right there is the was ted opening  for a band. It frustrates me no end.

This is a perfect example of how extremely important a band name is.

The performer name is the 1st thing that a punter will remember. They won’t address the performer by the names of the individuals in it when they talk to their friends (unless they are personal friends of yours) they will address the performer by its name.

The optimum way to find a band name is through sheer persistance. Locating a band name that is agreeable by anybody at all isn’t an easy task.

Here are some band name party suggestions:

1. Get every member to write down their own list of potential performer names

This can be the 1st task that the band could do collectively. performance a date for the 1st band meeting and betwixt now and then do that task.

2. Make brainstorming performer names the topic of your first ever performer meeting

When any person gets together put all of the lists out on the table and go through each one keeping to one side the names that’strike a chord’ (sorry about the pun) with all of you and getting rid of the rest.

As a group try brainstorming some ideas. This is a wonderful way to start formulating what the performer is all about, what its image is etc, etc.

3. Start a competition among all your companions /family/anyone else via email

This is a exceptional way to start compiling the beginnings of your performers email list. List all of your friends /family/anyone else that you want to include and their email addresses and compile them all into one mailing group. Send out an email outlining the competition and be ready for the suggestions to come flooding in.

It is vital to have a cut off date for the competition (perhaps by your 1st performer meeting) and to have a prize on provide. Of course the prize is totally up to you.

Make sure that when you do find a performer name that you announce it through your email group. You’ve just started email promotion of your band.

Whatever you do have fun with the process and do not let the quest to find a performer name override the other things that you’ve to do such as writing songs and locating rehearsal space.

I guarantee that once you have agreed on a performer name you’ll all collectively breathe a huge sigh of relief. The hardest part of the journey has been achieved.
