Still need a singer, but yesterday we did have a drummer commit to us, so that's a pretty big step in getting this thing off the ground.
And today I think we settled on a band name: Grunt. What do you all think?

Badass Jews.
Hey, if Texas can give birth to Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys, surely Chicago can bring us Badass Jews.

Your name has to match your sound. Do you sound like a Grunt? Or do you sound like Badass Jews?

Of the three of us in the band so far, though, I am the only Jew. And I may be the only badass. Of course the band name doesn't have to be completely truthful...yeah, I'll see what the guys think.

Yeah, you can't be Badass Jews if you sound like Belle and Sebastian.
Of course if you sounded like that, then you probably wouldn't be debating "Grunt."
Or would you?

Oh, don't get me wrong. Our music will be bad ass. The stuff we have written so far has elements of hard rock, punk, funk (yes, I can be funky), alt rock and metal. Some if it scares me.

You should call yourself the Hey Sailors. Groupies everywhere will flock to you. I'm their queen, I'll make them.

Hey Sailors is a good name.

There's a group in Detroit called Hey Sailor. Not sure if they'll ever break out of that scene, but I rather liked them the one time I saw them. Anyway, since I've already got some shows pretty much set for Detroit in the fall, we probably shouldn't use that one. Also, I've outgrown my sailor suit, as my manhood has more than quadrupled in size in the last year. So I've got to wait for some new pants to come in.

There was a band that used to play around Melbourne called Hey Sailor also. I may or may not have made out with their singer & thus forced them to be 25 mins late to their own gig.
Anyway, they broke up after 7 weeks.
Have you ever come up with an awesome name for a band & then someone has stolen it? When I'm drunk I think up the coolest names & always some indie fuck is loitering around & goes "wow, thats a cool name. Say, are you in a band?...No? Any plans to form a band?...No? Excellent...yoink!"
And then they steal it. Fucking indie fucks.

We have plenty of bourbon here, and we only allow you to wear skinny jeans/stovepipes twice a week. Indie fucks are just emo kids aged a couple of years. Corporate fucks, though, they have money. |
