Narrowed it down to three. Right now it's just me, but I'll put a band together soon and don't want to change the name (so if something will be singular it has to stay that way, likewise with plural).

Surfwad(s)
Slacker Overdrive
Hula Slash

IMHO the best of the three is Slacker Overdrive. But I actually think Verbosaurus would be better.

Verbosaurus or Verbosaurus Rex. Both very cool. Wish I'd thought of them

Vee Rex? Sorry. I've been listening to a local band's cover of Raw Ramp. Slacker Overdrive is good, but maybe it inadvertently references Slacktone? Are Hula Overdrive and Hula Wads out? Hula Gan(t)s/Ganz? Hula Wax/Wacks?

I have no idea what any of these would refer to. Hula is good though. It reminds me of a local surf band that was hired through some confusion in categories to play the opening of a holistic health place where some of the proprietors were into hula. Don't ask me why or how that or this happened. I just remember, "So, don't you know any hula music at all?"

I was worried about the Slacktone reference, as inadvertent as it was.

I had a friend who started a band that lasted only two weeks or so and they were called the unstoppable chaos machine... Maybe that could help with inspiration?
Out of the three it's slacker overdrive though.

Verbosaurus would sound like a schooled dinosaur to someone unfamiliar w/ the SG101 handle...so Reverbosaurus would be 'more better'. outta the 1sst three i like Hula Slash best.or Hula Overdrive!

Never be worried about a Slacktone reference. Slacker overdrive sounds great.

IMO.

I would get a band together first and ask them what to call it.
