If you are a long time reader of Good Times Roll, you might remember me prattling on about the Portland based punk band The Exploding Hearts. They made an amazing record back in 2002 that made tons of Top 10 lists because of its power pop rhythms and its punk as fuck attitude. It was genius. In 2003, tragedy struck the band on a ride back home from San Francisco. A van accident left the band with one surviving member, and an unfairly shortened legacy. While checking the Luna Lounge’s schedule for February, I was surprised to see The Exploding Hearts playing a gig on February 8th. I did some searching to see if the lone survivor reformed the band under the same name. After concluding this wasn’t the case, I put it to rest and forgot about it.
No more than a half hour later, I received an email from Adam Ghory about his show on February 8th at the Luna Lounge. Guess who appropriated The Exploding Hearts namesake for his own? Adam, I’d think about changing the name. It could become a problem. At any rate, check out his show next week:

who does Adam Ghory think he is, a Poser?
the correct term might be a 'moser'
Do you think I'd run into copyright trouble if I found someone to form a rock duo with and we called ourselves Bebop and Rocksteady?
Last night I gave oral to a guy named Freddy Mercury...am I still gay if my hips weren't thrusting? Wow, what a douchebag Ghory is...please tell me that it was a coincidence.
Tumblehawk, i think you would run into some trouble. i'm sure they are trademarked, but i think you could work something out. say if you were bebop, and your band was the rocksteadys.... who knows, its worth a shot.
and ghory's mistake was a coinsidence, but yes, to answer your question.
