All major brands have a band named for them. Hoover, British Airways,
Waitrose, etc.

Optionally, they may operate groups or artistes named forsub brands. Cadbury
Dairy Milk sort of thing.

It could so easily have happened. If marketroids in the 1950s had
decided that they really needed the teen market (which they did (need it
and decide they needed it)) then they could so easily have started bands
to push certain brands, and it could so easily have caught on with
everything.

Push the divergent timeline back far enough and you could even have had
the Carbolic Soap Company Ltd Singers with a medley of acapella covers
of Joe Loss hits.

The sub bands have all the same members and play all the same music.
Nobody is fooled.

I know! And it would all have seemed perfectly normal by now.

By complete "Dee Ee" I have just looked up the name of a Scottish band and
discovered this in their WP art:

===
[Name] brand

The [Name] brand is used in addition to market whisky, and also in the
running of a cèilidh house named the [Name]Ceilidh House which has been
built in Fort William around the brand. There was previously a [Name]
Ceilidh House in Oban.

I think there were many choirs and bands associated with mills, collieries,
factories, usw back in the day. Morris Motors rings a bell.

Thats true. They are there to milk (HAH!) sales and ease touring logistics.

But if theyre caught shagging underage groupies or busted for drugs they
can simply cut the name loose and use another one. Clever!

Not at all, no.

Not too memorable, either. I had already forgotten it.

An industry, like the Xpop bands.
