NO, no more: Band changes name to Black English

In a move that surprises no one, the Echo Park indie-rock band called NO has changed its name to Black English.
“It just got to be too confusing,” frontman Bradley Hanan Carter [above] said last week of the disconnect between his band and a young pop-rock quartet also named NO (who will be opening for Shiny Toy Guns at the Echoplex on Sept. 7). In a post on noechopark.com, the indie-rock NO writes:
“Apologies for any confusion out there! We are not the band ‘NO’ who is supporting Shiny Toy Guns on their tour. That would be one of the many other bands currently called NO out there. Which leads us to some exciting news … From next week we’re gonna be called Black English and our album “El Prado†will be from here on called “NO.†We’ll announce our European tour dates and all will be just dandy. In fact you might even be able to find us on Spotify now!! Anyways all of our love!!”
We will leave the punch lines to you.
