Woah – Reading Rainbow has changed their band name to Bleeding Rainbow! That’s the big news that they were talking about yesterday (via their Twitter). Hehe – now they have the difficult task of coming with a new Twitter name. We definitely like it better though. Below is why they changed it (via their Tumblr).
REASONS WE CHANGED OUR NAME FROM READING RAINBOW TO BLEEDING RAINBOW:
– We like the name Bleeding Rainbow better.
– It is trippy as shit.
– We didn’t want to get a cease and desist letter from PBS.
– We were sick of being named after a children’s t.v. show.
– We were sick of people fixating on it and making dumb jokes/comments about it. (even though it was our own damn fault.)
– Carrie Brownstein didn’t like the name Reading Rainbow.
