Hey, maybe you've reformed and are touring and no-one's told you yet!
In the early '80s I was in a thrash punk band called 'The Gun Glub'. After
months of struggling to build a name for ourselves locally, another band
with the same name pops up (from England, I think) - they were much better,
and much more widely known, so we more or less *had* to change our name.
Actually, I think our band just faded away, anyway.
