So what’s in a name? Well often times the band we love was not really the band that began under the name we love them for. You know Richard Steven Valenzuela had his name changed to Ritchie Valens by his agent right?

If I offered you front row tickets to see the Elgins in concert, you probably wouldn’t come with me. But if I dragged you to the show, you would quickly realize you had the best seats in the house to see Motown’s very own ‘Temptations.’

Wicked Lester (KISS)
The Salty Peppers (Earth Wind and Fire)
The Pulka Tulk Blues Band (Black Sabbath)
Naked Toddler (Creed)
The Architechural Abdabs (Pink Floyd)
The Quarrymen (The Beatles)
Tom and Jerry (Simon and Garfunkel)
Smile (Queen)
The Hype (U2)
The Pendletons (The Beach Boys)
Sweet Children (Green Day)
