Chris Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 This name change puzzles me also. I get the idea behind it but it seems weird to lose the Cast of the Capital name after building it up and getting product out there under that name just because of some personnel changes. This seems to be a thing that happens around here, band members change and so the old songs get binned and so on. Seems counter-productive to me. Oh well, Im sure you know better than me.Yeah I can think of a few bands from around here that have done the same thing over the years, they almost always change it to a duff name as well.Weather Barn isn't the worst by a long shot but it is a worse name than Cast of the Capital.

Shaki Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 But look what we're doing - talking about them! Clever. This is like a budget version of the advertising campaign that Norwich Union (who?) did when they were changing their name to Aviva. Aviva is a better name than Weather Barn though.

Paranoid Android Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Thanks mister! Maybe see you there?I don't live in Aberdeen so unfortunately wont be there.On the plus side though I don't dislike the band name as much as others here. There are a lot worse out there.

aekido Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 If its a new band, new name, then why is it the same COTC songs?Not that I'm complaining, as I like the songs, just curiousI like both names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevealex35 Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 When we say Weather Barn is a new band, we are referring to the fact that we have had a change of line up. Our musical direction is the same as Matt is still writing the songs. However, our live dynamic has changed quite alot and the older/current songs are (in my opinion!) feeling more energetic and exciting We aren't in a rush to replace the songs we played as COTC as we still love 'em!Wooooooooooooooooooo!
