Blame Ringo

Wednesday, February 18, 2009

Today I stumbled upon a curious band. The music is good, the name was the catch, I'm talking about Blame Ringo, here is the story:

"Originally billed as Goodnight Vienna, the band had to change its name in late 2007 after being threatened with legal action by a Mr Richard Starkey Jr. Apparently "Goodnight Vienna" was the name of Ringo Starr's forth studio album and, although Ringo thoroughly enjoyed the music, he was obligated to any profiteering which resulted from the use of his intellectual property."

It's an interesting way of sticking it to the man...

Here is a video featuring the first single Garble Arch, its about a day in Abbey Road, curious how many people try to portray the famous cover...




Want to know more? check out the band's page and listen to the music ;) enjoy!
