Band Name Origins:
- Named by the band's bassist, John Murphy. His brother Jeff told me that it was picked simply because it was something common. Many believe that the band picked this name because the Beatles, when asked why they picked their name, said that they could have called themselves the Shoes. Well, the Beatles indeed said that, but the guys in Shoes (never has been a 'the" in front of their moniker) weren't familiar with this quip and were later startled, and pleasantly surprised, by it.
