O.K.
people... we've got a group, a sound and a song, now what are we gonna
call ourselves? This is, in places, quite bizarre. Exactly why some
of these names were chosen is a complete mystery.
Everybody now knows them under names such as 'The BeeGees', 'The Beach
Boys' or 'The Beatles', but they have all performed under more obscure
names at some time earlier in their careers. Who was 'Jet Powers' ? Who
started out as 'The Spacemen' ? or 'Tom and Jerry' ? and who thought
that a really cool, catchy name for a pop group would be 'The Mars Bars'
? No idea? Neither did I! Well, read on and have a guess at a few more
of these (thankfully) obsolete
aliases
