Is anyone else really bothered by this name similarity? I knew BSBC first and I really dig thier mega harsh horror noise, therefore when I saw the name Blue Sabbath Black Fiji, I thought it would be the same band with a variation in sound. When reading a review of BSBF however, I realized its a totally different band. This caused me to be totally skeptical of the praise this band was getting, the word "Fiji" alone made me think that they were gonna be a Not Not Fun surf-drone or whatever band (like Sun Araw and Ducktails and such) which is a genre I have absolutely NO time for, though I liked Araw's "Beach Head" lp. Then, my friend told me how ripping BSBF was, and I was like watevs, he gave me two casettes, and I listened to them. I was surprised to say the least; crazy freakout guitar-noise duo with good ol dayglo/dada aesthetic. I'm even more irritated about this name now that I know the band is good. Apparently, the name similarity is no coincidence as evidenced by the review here
http://smoothassailing.blogspot.com/...lack-fiji.html, but Blue Sabbath Black Fiji just sounds like a fuckin dumb name. Band names I think are important; its the very first impression of a band's aesthetic. Blue sabbath Black Cheer is a great name. Anyone else bothered by this shit?
