About BANG Powered by blamepro.com Why did you guys make BANG (the Band Automatic Name Generator)? BANG was developed out of a need to produce real-sounding band names. As anyone who has been in a group knows, when members or musical styles change, a discussion invariably takes place about changing the band's name. The usual procedure is that each band member proposes a few band names. These are discussed and the top five or ten names are voted on. during this process, one of three scenarios often plays out: You propose a few good names, and a few get tossed out early in the discussions; You propose one or two really excellent names, and they all get tossed out; Now you can't come up with any more names to propose, and your band members think you're a dork. This is where BANG comes in. You run through a few dozen names and write down the really great-sounding names. Make sure that a few of them are humorous. Laughter is infectious, and you'll be the life of the party when you announce your proposals. Try revealing the BANG-produced band names first. Then, after the discussion dies down, you can toss in your real (i.e., hand-crafted) names right before the final vote. Your proposed monicker may not be the final choice, but at least it'll make the finals! Version History BANG Online version 3.
