Knew that, though not some of the other details. I was just playin' the band name game.

'Sall good.
I wanted to use *Above Average White Band* but the other guys thought it might be perceived as racist.

I alway thought Minus The Bear was a clever name. Here's the explanation from the band:

The name "Minus the Bear" comes from an inside joke among the band members, referring to the 70's TV show B. J. and the Bear. "A friend of the band had gone on a date,” explains singer-guitarist Jake Snider, "and one of us asked him afterwards how the date went. Our friend said, 'You know that TV show from the '70s B.J. and The Bear? It was like that minus the bear.' That’s the straight truth.

Awesome band, awesome story.

The band 'Less Than Jake' has a cool story as well:

"The band's name comes from, drummer, Fiorello's dog, Jake, who was treated better than the rest of the household, so everything was "less than Jake"."
