What's in a name (change)?

Greetings folks! Well, we're in full swing into 2009 now, and with a new year comes new things for yours truly and The Bushfinger Music Project.

Along with hopes, dreams, wishes and prayers, the New Year rings in a new studio, new hardware, new website (soon), new goals, and subsequently, a new name for my band? [dramatic flourish]

Yeppers- It looks like its time to retire the name and move forward. Not for contract or trademark dispute reasons (which I am no stranger to), but, well, for many reasons. For one, with the namesake and original inspiration for the Bushfinger Music Project, aka Mr. Knucklehead- finally out of our hair (or is he?!?!), having "Bushfinger" in the name is just that much less funny (still funny to me, but less to others). Oh and another good reason- when you do a google search for "Bushfinger", I don't come up on the top of the list. Okay sure I'm at least on the front page, so I guess I can't complain about that. And that's just two of a bout four or five reasons why it's time to consider a name change.

"But to what?" You say? Well, that is indeed the question isn't it? I tend to come up with the best names for bands when I'm not even thinking about it. But since I'm thinking about it right now, I can't think of one! (Don'tcha hate that?!)

I am always open to your suggestions on just about everything, and now, naming my band. I'll figure out a prize or something for the one I like the best. And for everyone else, no worries- I will be sure to keep you informed fo any changes as they come up.



Until then, have a cupcake!
