Names -> Band Name Origins -> F, Page 3
Do you know why a band picked out it's name? Feel free to let us know.
I can't verify all of these stories, so do take them with a grain of salt. I try and delete the ones that I know to be bogus, but I don't know the origins of every band name (and some bands intentionally tell different stories about picking their band name).

| The Fugees | Corruption of the word "refugees". Wyclef Jean, in a press release for his new clothing company, said (in part) "Everyone in the United States is a refugee to some degree. No one's culture originated here. In the past either our parents or ancestors left their homelands to come here for various reasons. People die because they are refugees. People need to remember that." | baudtender | ||
| Fugitive | The lead singers name is Dave Jensen, similar to David Jansen, the star of the TV show (in the 60's) called The Fugitive. We kept joking about the name, so we called the band Fugitive. | Doug McHarg | ||

| The Fuzztones | The "Fuzz Tone" is a device made by Maestro that makes a humble electric guitar 'ploink' into a screaming KGGGRRRRZZZZZ...! There are lots off 'fuzz' stomp boxes, some good, some bad, but there's only one Fuzz Tone. Coming to think of it, there's only one Fuzztones, too. | Pete |
