Music and Chart Trivia          The Name Game #1 (Artists' Real Names)        Sixties Quizzes        Before They Were Famous (Artists' Original Occupations)

O.K. people... we've got a group, a sound and a song, now what are we gonna call ourselves? This is, in places, quite bizarre. Exactly why some of these names were chosen is a complete mystery. Everybody now knows them under names such as 'The BeeGees', 'The Beach Boys' or 'The Beatles', but they have all performed under more obscure names at some time earlier in their careers. Who was 'Jet Powers' ? Who started out as 'The Spacemen' ? or 'Tom and Jerry' ? and who thought that a really cool, catchy name for a pop group would be 'The Mars Bars' ? No idea? Neither did I! Well, read on and have a guess at a few more of these (thankfully) obsolete aliases . . .
