After visiting South Hadley for the weekend, Mount Holyoke College's own coffee shop Thirsty Mind offered me a paid concert gig. And, after coercing Nathan into accompanying me, I accepted.
Josh and Jonathan have expressed extreme interest in coming out to see me and supporting me. Tonight, over a few beers, they asked me why my band name wasn't Dr. Chalks. I explained that this will be the first time Nathan and I are officially playing together (as opposed to one having a show and the other accompanying for one song), and so we wanted a neutral band name that did not imply one was the lead man. We went with the name "The Cucco Wranglers," a Legend of Zelda reference that will hopefully pander to our nerd-based crowd.
Josh and Jonathan, over a few more beers, said "Fuck that. The band name is Dr. Chalks." We decided we should incorporate Nathan in a name that would make it easier for him to get laid that night (thus preventing the awkward "I'm staying in Gabby's room, good luck finding a place" scenario. Initially, Jonathan threw out "Dr. Chalks and the Apache Fuck Warrior," which led to several more lewd names. When we ran out of blatant and direct sexual names, we decided to shoot for puns. These included, but were not limited to:
-Dr. Chalks and Poono Mars
-Dr. Chalks and Moan Rivers
-Dr. Chalks and Jimi Ten Dicks
-Dr. Chalks and the Nude Erections
-Dr. Chalks and the Penguin Cafe Whorecestra
-Dr. Chalks and Throb Dylan
Suddenly, Cucco Wranglers seems like a lame name. But the die is cast.
