As the great William Shakespeare once wrote “what’s in a name?” Well, for Mike and the Moonpies, their’s started as a joke.
In a statement released on Instagram Friday, the band announced the change of their band name after 17 years, effective immediately. They explained that Mike and the Moonpies “does not reflect who [they] are or the art [they] are creating currently,” and “after discussing hundreds of potential names, [they] finally fell in love with Silverada.”
Three hours later, they were on stage at Mile 0 Fest in Florida (in what would be their first show officially under the name), throwing out new merch to the crowd.
