Band Name
by
Mark Versella
At some point in every band's early existence, the band members broach the awkward issue of a name. When one or more members insist that the name should speak to matters beyond the music itself, the fragile bonds that tie a band together can often be tested. Should a name try to convey a message? Should it conjer up the rebel image that is the genesis of Rock and Roll itself? Should it be a simple statement of who we are? Should it make a political or social statement? Then, there is the matter of taste. Silly names like "The Beatles" and "Cream" have entered the lexicon of pop culture......and we never stop to think how silly they are. Let's face it, who would name a band after an insect or an item you put in your coffee? Though, there are some good ones....like "Blind Faith." (It makes you wonder if Eric Clapton, member of both "Cream" and "Blind Faith," had anything to do with either of those names.) Eschewing the political and social statements, we went for a simple statement of who we are, with a smattering of the rebel image. We are all "suburbanites": white picket fences, 2.5 children, joint tax returns and a SUV. At the same time, we gave a nod and a wink to our rebel sides (long since dead with the birth of the first of the 2.5 kids) by referring to ourselves as a "disturbance." Therefore, "Suburban Disturbance." We passed on "Neighborhood Hoodlums" and "School Board Riff-Raff." But, in retrospect, I think we ended up with a name just as goofy as "The Beatles" or "Cream." Why? Think about it. A suburban disturbance usually consists of a barking dog or two kids on their annoying plastic Big Wheels. (Man, those suckers are loud!!) Yea, we be big, bad "Suburban Disturbance." Hey, there's no accounting for taste!
