The Sinch Forum is back! It looks a lot different but all posts and users were imported from the old forum so everything should be right where we left it.
Rename SinchArmy?
  • dandan April 2007
    Those of you who signed up for the SinchArmy know that not much has been happening on that front. We originally wanted to get it started when we were trying to put together a UK tour -- hoping that we could get some people on board to help us pre-sell tickets and raise some money. But when that whole thing fell through, SinchArmy kind of went on the back burner.

    ANYWAY, recently we've been talking about maybe changing the name. There are a lot of "(Band name) Army" street teams out there and we're thinking we can probably come up with something more unique.

    If we were to change the name of SinchArmy, what should be change it to?

    I actually have a bunch of ideas, which I can post at some point, but I'd kinda like to see what other ideas are out there first.

    Sinchaholics
    Sinch Knights
    The Sinchiladas
    Passive Resistors
    Team Tabularasa
    The Sincheerleaders. Wait... that was just wrong.

    I'm so corny.

    Hmm... can't say I'm feeling any of those. I should have mentioned we aren't huge fans of pun-based names. So that eliminates almost everything so far.

    Also, there's no requirement to use the word Sinch or song titles or anything like that. It doesn't hurt, but we're pretty much open to anything at this point.

    Some of the ideas I had were more in the vein of:

    1. Worker's unions names... like "IUSF Local 433" or whatever.

    2. Fraternities (not the college kind), you can find a whole list here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraternal_organization

    3. Or ridiculous, make-believe, but somewhat mysterious sounding "organizations", like "The Dharma Initiative" from the TV show LOST.

    Just something to think about...

    I'll try to come up with better ones and edit this post as I go.

    I'm trying to come up with a band name for my own band, and have failed so far.

    the name I was pushing for but never got through my bandmates was

    Cuttlefish.


    Let's be the SinchCuttlefish

    When I was looking for stuff to follow that theme on the wonderful Wikipedia, I found that the CIA had a program called Project BLUEBIRD, which is probably where you guys got the name for your EP and I just never knew it.

    The CIA had a bunch of code names for projects called cryptonyms and one that stuck out to me was the ECHELON project which was "intended to capture radio and satellite communications, telephone calls, faxes, e-mails and other data streams." Maybe we could be The ECHELON Project, or the The ECHELON Initiative to follow that Lost theme that you like.

    I don't know, it was a thought.

    EDIT - There's a whole list of other cryptonyms here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_cryptonyms

    They actually mentioned the Echelon a lot in JJ Abrams other show, Alias.
  • erhhhhh....

    the echelon is the name of a 30seconds to mars song, and it's also the name of there fanclub i think.

    I looked it up and it looks like The Echelon is the name of 30 Seconds To Mars Street Team, so there goes my idea. Still, there are a lot of other cryptonyms to use if that is the direction the band wishes to go.

    That's too bad... I kind of like that one. I think there may be something else along those lines though. It looked like there was some good stuff on that CIA cryptonyms page. I'll have to have a look at that when I have some more time...
