What's in a Name?

So, it's been an interesting last couple of weeks! My duo partner, Leigh and I, have been on the journey to try and find another name. The Bucket List - which has been our moniker for the last year or two -  seems to be quite a popular name for bands worldwide. (When I did a google search and checked the name with www.bandnamevault.com I discovered at least four different versions of the name.) Damn shame! Sad-face emoji!

So Leigh and I embarked on the journey to rename our act! And we tried on about a hundred or two and, try as we might, we could not come up with a name that we both felt comfortable with.
We tried on solid names like Thundershed, Complex, Serendipitous, Hope Mountain ...
We tried clever word game names like InTentCity, The Complects, The Flight Sabres ...
We tried clever amalgams of our two names like Lemon Crate (weird!), Chate's Crossing, Crossing Chate, Cross and Chate etc.
... and nothing seemed to say "Yes" to both of us at the same time! We even tried The Bucket Listers - so close to our original name ... only two extra letters ... but still nothing grabbed us! Nothing, that is, apart from our original name - The Bucket List!

And so, while there's a couple of other The Bucket Lists out there - we think we're the only one in Oz and that's probably a big enough region for us to get started with.

And so, this is who we are - We are The Bucket List. Based in Australia, a duo playing complex acoustic material, catchy songs that you'd not usually see in an acoustic duo. We're sounding great, increasing our repertoire and loving it!

Long Live The Bucket List!!
