Well, it was already to be expected, but Eskimo Callboy, one of my personal favorite bands has now changed the name and is now called Electric Callboy! ;-)
To make one thing clear though, I don’t see an act of cancel culture at work here like some other fans or critics. Because it was clearly the collective will of all band members to take this step completely on their own. And if you decide to go this way, then you should accept it in my opinion.
The video about the name change is in English and especially takes into account the current situation in Ukraine. Very worthy, very sympathetic. And now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go support David Friedrich’s (the band’s drummer) fundraising project. ;-)
Наша дума, наша пісня
Не вмре, не загине…
От де, люде, наша слава,
Слава України!
Our soul, our song
won’t die, won’t go away…
Therein, folks, lies our glory
Glory to Ukraine! (Slava Ukraini!)
