Band Name?

Last year Phill (from college) and I started jamming together for a bit of fun. I've been playing the djimbe and Phil plays the guitar. We have gradually developed a distinctive style and were asked to play at a couple of functions and so wrote some of our own music, though we improvise a fair bit. So far we have about six songs, designed to be played mostly as background music.

This year has seen the inclusion of two new members to the group which has really allowed us to develop our 'sound'. We were all practicing together for the first time this afternoon and it was heaps of fun and is sounding really good. The next dilemma though is what to call the band... we are looking for something that will suit the funky, background, almost Middle Eastern sounding at times music... Any ideas???

Matt plays the electric guitar, and Linda sings - though not allways singing, more so blending with the music or scatting if that makes sense.

Wow that's really cool. Very exciting! I don't know if I can make any good suggestions without a better understanding of the style and I would probably need to hear you play for that. But will keep it in mind... Oh, and have fun. Hope it all goes well.

Hi David,

Sounds like you're having fun. Although totally not middle eastern, how about "Cross Purposes" for a name???
