I think the first one, obviously the implication you might spontaneously combust during gigs will attract a certain band of followers, but also I think it would be good to keep your name as similar as possible to what it is now so people who have seen/heard of you already can make the connection. Who are the other treehouse band then? Can’t you just get them to change?
There is a folk band up north, a london based band called treehouse 3 and an american band who just released their first record in the States. Plus I told there is a band called treehouse in Liverpool.
I agree with your comments Jim. Would be good to keep some link with what we've already done.
