Im working on starting on a garage/psychedelic band with my friends. My goal is for us to sound like we're from 1966 or something. Is the Goons a good name? I think it sounds like a British Invasion band.
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated!

Sgt. Mystery and his White Rubber Revolver
(silly I know)
Vespa
#9
the Curly Mustaches
Palavre
I don;t think the Goons is bad, but I would be more intrigued by something like the Rabble Rousers.

I would not use "The Goons" as they were a legendary comedy act from the 1950s and 1960s who influenced Monty
Python.

A group called Shamrock has already had a hit record in the UK, so that name is gone.
Why not call yourself " 1966" or "1966 or Something"
Just had another thought
" ROUTE 66"
U.S. Route 66, (also known as Route 66, The Main Street of America, The Mother Road

The Goons makes you sound like you're a bunch of idiots. I like The Shamrocks better.

The Goons is alright, but it's not that... special. Maybe use a song title or something from the 60's. The White Rabbits, anyone? Or, The Magical Mystery Tour, Travelin' Band, Break on Through...

Goons makes your band sound very young and immature. I would keep thinking. Try a name that reflects something all the members have in common. Do the first letters of your names make a word?

Goons is goofy dude,try "Squeaky Toaster WeaselZ or the Spitting Squid or Reverb or The Mild or the alibaster cake treatment try something Sublime and can carry multiple meaning and looks really cool in trippy artsy letters,Oh how about The Slinky Minks

DON'T USE MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR!!! It's WAY too obvious that it's the beatles. just look at band names from the 60's and pull out words you like then combine them to create your band name.
I don't like Shamrocks either. Persoanlly, if i saw a band names the shamrocks, i would not be interested. it doesnt sound serious.

If you want to sound like you are from 1966 just call yourselves Sixty Six...Short and to the point.

Go with the Shamrocks, especially if you have an Irish surname!
