Ahh, the madness that can emerge from conflicting band names.
While reading up on The Echoing Green, I came across a note that Joey B (the lead musician and driving force behind the band) is producing a new group called Pristina. This group will probably only release one or two CDs, as it exists solely as the fulfillment of a concept, that is, to showcase the mingling of female vocals and electronic music to fit the auditory tastes of Joey B.
Problem emergeth.
While the idea sounds nice, the name is already in use.
If you go to the last.FM page for Pristina (http://www.last.fm/music/Pristina) you will find that this experiment in feminine vocalization, produced by an introspective, devout (if not especially vocal recently) christian, shares its name (and last.FM page) with a grinding, blood-soaked death metal band.
*sigh*
While the contrast here is amusingly shocking, at least there are only two bands. This is as opposed to, say, the artist name “Andromeda”, which is shared by at least 6 bands and (the one with which I am concerned) a science-fiction TV show.
