Are there two bands named the Fall?  Are they from different countries? 

Don't forget there are two Nirvanas...

OK. 

British Nirvana started in 1965, twenty plus years before Nirvana of Seattle started.

it depends on who owns the rights to the name and where.

There's also Ceremony.



But The Fall are pretty much an institution at this point.

I have an excuse to put this here now.

It took them a good 24 hours to figure out how to block me. It was fun while it lasted.

I don't get why this one would be a problem.  Sure Bruce is called by his last name a lot, and sure he is the most famous of anyone with that name.  But, I don't see why a band cant call themselves Springsteen.  What about a band called Jackson?  or Dion?  Or Buckley?  Or Diamond?  Or Wilson?  Or Jagger?  Or Duff?  Or Simpson?  Or Spears?  or any last name?

It's not a problem. I just thought it was funny. A friend of a friend is in that band. And the timing with this Fall thing was perfect.


Also, Springsteen did it on purpose because they also find it funny. "The Fall" just seem unaware of the existence of an established band with that name.

"Bruce Springsteen" was trademarked only last year, but not simply "Springsteen". Anybody can try to trademark their name but it's difficult and expensive and it may be rejected anyway, especially if it's a common name or if there's little evidence of need. The KC Fall would probably be rejected, even if The Fall have never trademarked their name, because The Fall have had an extensive and substantial reach under that name. There is a trademark for "The Fall" but it's for a clothing line; it's okay because it's substantially different from the band's business.

Just now randomly playing: The Fall "Creep" (Peel session).

More locally, our boy Fico had a shitty warped tour band squat on their name Cartel until they'd pushed them outta that space. Changing to Cedars really seemed to stymie their momentum.
