tycho brahe name change? (1 Viewer)

[Pantone247]

yeah, but LAM are more 'serious' that DF... i think.

PZJ are less tactile then GHB but XVF are not... see?

I guess I come from the Capratone 'don't change the name till absolutly everyone ever has been in the band at least twice' school of thinking.

Its a licensing deal.

not a 'be younger and change your sound' deal.

 

[Ex-User (250)]

Are you going to suddenly loose a few years off your live too? Like LAM.

what the hell does that mean, mr. bonkers?

 

[potlatch]

Tycho Brahe is pronnounced something like "Tewcha Brwuahe" or something that sounds vaguely like you're talking like you have a potato in your mouth.

Tychonaut. Hmm, yeah I guess, OK. Suppose it's like when Jif changed to Cif, eh?

 

[billygannon]

I preferred them when they were called Earth.

[Donal]

'wendyhouse interference collective'?

all suggestions waaaay easier to say than 'the tycho brahe' so far btw

 

[Zeelander]

'wendyhouse interference collective'?

Years you've been waiting for an opportunity to share those band names. Years.

 

[Ex-User (250)]

'wendyhouse interference collective'?

'wendyhouse destruction cycle' is way better.

Start a ficticious band instead and plug pretend gigs. My band are the Helsinki Vandal Parrots, we're playing at 123 Fake St. tonight.

same as always, the primates are the first casualty

 

[billygannon]

How about Starship?

 

[Pantone247]

hey but thanks for mentioning it anyway Hag

so you figured out why no one loves you yet?

 

[MDR]

Donal, what's the difference between a licensing deal and a record deal? Is it that you give them already-made albums instead of new ones? Congrats and good luck with it by the way.

I used to be called Mumble in De Afro, but changed my name. My stock price has gone up 3 5/8s since then.

I always get a little about these sorta things

Deputy Fuzzz going to Life After Modelling

Thick O Bra to Thick O Knot

eh... other ones too

I mean you've two albums out, you've got pretty considerable press coverage, maybe it's the designer/marketting bod in me speaking, but in such terms it seems like an odd time to "re-brand"

like

Not an odd time at all! And marketing/plugger people breath a sigh of relief ... trust me on that one.

I reckon the time to change a band name you are not happy with is always before you release/launch internationally, not after ... and the 2 albums will be unchanged apart from the name.

We have NO presence, releases or press coverage outside of Ireland yet. No disrespect to our nation-once-again but 'the tycho brahe' never released outside of here (apart from internet sales) so now is definitely the the time to change the name. We are only about to exist outside of little old Ireland.

It also means the Irish copies of the 2 albums might become collectables - like the first 1000 digpak of 'this is' from 2002.
