Quincy Jones is an asshole. 


That’s it. That’s all I really should need to say.


This band was playing at a club in Hollywood and Quincy Jones saw their name and sued them for COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT cuz his name is “Quincy”. And they settled out of court. Then they change their name to Lulu Temple which, imo, is a VASTLY superior name and I would not have sued them. 


Eventually they became Smash Palace.


But not before they put out this Power Pop gem. This is like hearing Graduate or The Keys or The Producers for the first time. But with a psychotic singer that gives the guy from The Jags a run for his money.
