That sucks. There was a Floridian Christian "screamo" band called Hidden Driveway that was touring around a lot in 2006. I wrote a non-threatening & friendly letter to them explaining the legalities, namely how I've been using the name officially since 1998. They wrote back me back saying only "good luck with that."

Anyway, a good friend of mine is a music industry entertainment lawyer. He offered to send them a cease and desist letter, but I said no, lets just wait. After their short jaunt in 2006 they have been completely inactive. It seems like they have broke up. If they resurface again I will go through with sending them the C + D letter.

You might want to sit it out like I did. The only thing that sucks for real is that you don't own the internet domain for Faster Faster. I just went to fasterfaster.com and it doesn't seem like it's run by you. The domain thing might be the impetus you need to change your name, not some flash in the pan young band that's likely to break up.

In light of your new thread.... johnhasmoved... Sound good?
Ableton’s engineers are hard
at work developing code that will allow our software to predict the future, but we don’t
anticipate having this available until at least the next major release.

forgot to add...
there's a bar near me where two of the regular DJs that play together are:
"Tone Def" (no 't' but it's close) and "Beats Me." freaking weird coincidence.

then there's www.tonedeft.org which is about as backwards from me as you can get. their fans might read my posts one day and seriously go 'wtf?!"

edit - had the web site wrong (.org), although www.tonedeft.com is also taken.

There seems to be a dodgy blues band called Homebelly.
They describe them selves as a funky groove based blues band.
seems t me they maybe inspired toward the name by the Spin doctors.

Any hoo..

Faster faster is in use,, so why not a Russ Mayer tribute and call your self "Pussy cat kill kill kill!!"...

Oh wait!!
Wasn't there a dodgy metal band called that?

I did actually consider slower slower

at some point I thought if I started dj'ing I'd use 'spin spin'

I think I should keep this 2 words thing going

maybe 'sleep sleep' cause I like sleep :)
It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.
