There is hope for the band, though...Because of extensive problems with such things as fake performing groups like the Drifters,Shirelles and managers and companies that trademark and therefore own the name, there has been a Bill proposed before Congress called the Truth In Rock Act of 1999...


This Bill, if passed, will allow ANY original musician associated with a famous group name to use that name, regardless of who owns the trademark


To give you an example of the wide ranging effect of this Bill, here's a statement from Joe Terry, original member of Danny and the Juniors(At The Hop) before the House Subcommittee On Courts And Intellectual Property Law

Here's an article about a recent very important decision that will have a major effect in passing this Bill....And another early news story when the Bill was first introduced
