Pearl Jam tribute act Pearl Jamm recently revealed they received a cease and desist from Pearl Jam themselves for having a name too similar. Pearl Jamm was understandably pissed off, saying they "have not caused you or your brand any damage whatsoever" and hoped the band would overturn their decision.
Pearl Jamm has now taken an easier route to the whole situation – changing their name to the new, snarky one Legal Jam.
"We have always been clear that we will 'Yield' to Pearl Jam's demands and equally clear that our disappointment was only ever of the timing and manner in which those demands were made.
"We are proud to announce our new name: Legal Jam which we thought would be fitting and under which we will continue to perform the music of Pearl Jam in the most heartfelt and authentic way.
"We look forward to reconnecting with our own fans (and other tributes) who have been so supportive through this as well welcoming the new fans who have joined us over the last week, as soon as we are back on the road."
