A Great Band Name
by Ande Rasmussen
Sometimes a great band name can get a band much more media attention than if the musicians went by their own names or some lame name.
Not many people have heard of Mark Stuart, but many more have heard of the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash (BSOJC).
Johnny Cash’s own advisors told him that BSOJC infringed on his trademark and Mr Cash should force BSOJC to change their names. Johnny checked them out, he liked the name and liked them so he gave the BSOJC permission to use it.
BSOJC have gotten write-ups in many newspapers and magazines including Rolling Stone, Washington Post and New York Post because their bands name and their talent. I believe there are many equally talented songwriters and musicians that haven't received near the attention of BSOJC. Johnny Cash's son helped BSOJC produce their first album.
Carefully and intelligently choose your band's name and your band's CD titles
