I wonder why bands and artists use place names? Is it sentimental or something simple and easy to remember? Though England Dan was not from England (real name Dan Seals), the Bay City Rollers were from the UK, and the band Europe are from Sweden (which generally considers itself Scandinavian rather than European). I wrote a list of my favourite band names a while back and they were all unusual.
