Band Name Origins:
- Glenn Shorrock said in an interview the band needed a new name as Mississippi sounded too American. When they were driving to a gig in Geelong, they passed Little River and they agreed to call themselves the Little River Band. Submitted by: Nick
- Traditional history has it that the band were travelling between Melbourne and Geelong in Victoria Australia, en route to a gig. At this time they were nameless. Glenn Shorrock saw a road sign pointing to a place called 'Little River' (which is still there) and lo the band name was born..... Submitted by: Ellamsy
