4 Easy Ways to Have a Trendy Band Name

by admin on February 8, 2010

Trendy Hipsters

If you have ever been a member of a band, you will understand that developing a band name can become the center of hours of discussion.

You want it to be something enduring like “U2″, or “Pearl Jam”, but also trendy, but not too trendy, and nothing that sounds like you’ve spend hours trying to come up with (eventhough you have).

Well, if you happy with a one-hit wonder career, and want to fit in with the rest of the Hipsters, here are some easy methods to come up with a band name, so you can spend more time on what should matter most – your rock star outfits.

4 easy ways to come up with a Trendy band name:

1. Put any noun behind the word “Wolf”.   ex. “Wolf party”, “Wolf Dad”

2. Choose a region of the world.  ex. “The Middle East”, “Basque Country”

3. Incorporate an instant message  shortphrase.  ex. “BFFLOL”

4. Take the first two words of a news headline, and add “club” to the end.  ex. “Toyota Recall Club”, “Iraqi Police Club”

Now, onto growing swoop bangs, wearing skinny ties and drainpipes.

Bonesy back in ‘98 Sombrio

by admin on January 29, 2010

Dug up this little pic from the book “Cedar Surf” published back in 2003, which provides great history into the early days of surfing out here on the west coast of Canada. Looking through the pages, makes me realize again just how much has changed over the last decade. When I started surfing, Jesse Oke was still “King”, Most of the surfers were really old, and Shacks were still lined along Sombrio beach.

Me on the left, my good buddy Dan on the right. First board was a 6′8 North West with a wonky fin.
