Band Name Origins:

  • Actually, the name was chosen because the historical reel-to-reel demos were recorded in the drummer's garage after dark, and when they listened to the playback you could hear crickets in the background between songs and sometimes in quiet passages. Submitted by: Matthew K.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Cody Finke

Once again, why we hear "Milo" instead of "my love" - and it makes sense since a human or dog named Milo can be bigger than a car.
