Band Name Origins:

  • NOT named after James Joyce.# Quote from 'folklore-the official history' Submitted by: stewtee
  • Tribute to the Irish writer James Joyce Submitted by: phildo

Why the Name is Stupid:

  • Not particularly easy to remember, gets confused with James Taylor, James Dean, Etta James, anyone with the first or last name "James", any place names, any companies, etc.. it's very hard to search for on the Internet! And there's six of them as well. Ask a James fan "What do you think of him?" and he'll punch you! Submitted by: Dan Abnormal
