I have some notes in response that you may find useful.

  1. This blog post is about a pretend band in a video game I play with a small group of nerdy friends, so no worries about us “making it big” and popularizing the name you want to use.

  2. There is already a punk/death metal/christian rap band called “Slam Chowder,” based in Philadelphia, that claims to have been “slamming man-chowder since 1997!!!!” Check out their MySpace page. (Maybe this is you? Seems like they haven’t played since 2005 and they have kind of boring shirts, so I hope not.)

  3. If you have been having trouble putting this band together for a long time, perhaps you would have more luck trying a different name. Maybe “Glam Chowder”? You could dress up in frizzy wigs and shiny clothes and sing Bowie covers in a Boston accent.

I wish you luck in your musical endeavors.

Best, Jason

Maybe I’ll just start a separate “Link” character so I don’t feel bad when I inevitably change this one again.
