Gimme some Band names...

Background:
Country Western Swing / Rockabilly / Instrumental Surfabilly / maybe even some punkier R&R. We can go with the crowd to make them happy and dance.
Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Buck Owens, Carl Perkins, Imelda May, Eddie Cochran, Los Straitjackets, Link Wray, Nancy Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Ramones, Detroit Cobras, etc. Everything will be danceable and not what you hear often. Mustang Sally is TABBOO!!
Based on Long Island, NY. Will play Bars, Festivals, Beach Gigs, and hopefully Wineries next Summer.

Guitar (Bigsby, Reverb, Echo, & Trem non-sparingly used), Bass (Upright & Solid Body), Drums, (possibly) a Trumpet, and a Woman Singer with up to 3 harmonies behind her when needed. She can sing in E & A, so we can hit all the old stuff.

Her name is Betty or B.A., nice tattoo on her bicep.
We like to wear cool shirts. ;-)

Gimme some names...and some cool tunes if they work for you.

Thanks guys!

Why is it that "give me band names" thread always yield horrible, horrible names? Especially for country bands? I don't know anything about country, can you give me an example of a good name of an existing band? Maybe my standards are too high.

EDIT: I just remembered "Lady Antebellum" -- good name, good group.
