Church Changes Name To Chrch
Sacramento, California's psychedelic doom crew Church is changing names due to a cease and desist sent to the band via a lawyer hired by Australian alternative rock group The Church.
The band has opted to avoid further confrontation and drop the vowel, simply continuing on as Chrch. Aside from the name change, the vinyl release of latest album "Unanswered Hymns" and tour dates will proceed as planned.
Chrch comments: "Due to the fact that defending the claim of 'willful infringement' and 'unfair competition' is lengthy and expensive, we are now Chrch. The bourgeoise system of ownership demands that knowledge and culture be rationed by the ability to pay. We thank everyone for their overwhelming support thus far. We are approaching our dates with Primitive Man and Northless August 13th-17th and we open for Pentagram in Santa Cruz on August 29th. In darkness, CHRCH."
Official statement from Battleground Records: "The band having to change their name due to a legal technicality is just that, a technicality. Underground artists like Chrch and small labels like ours just don't have the resources to get into legal squabbles over such matters. Regardless of the name, what truly matters is that we're helping to release a great record from a great band that people out there want to get a hold of. We've simply got to keep moving forward. Many thanks to everyone who supports the label and the bands we work with." More...
