Pearl Jamm is a Pearl Jam tribute band from the UK. After receiving a threatening legal notice from Pearl Jam, the tribute band changed its name to … Legal Jam.
The Pearl Jam lawyers accused the tribute band of “damaging the Pearl Jam brand and causing confusion” among fans. Earlier today the tribute band stated: “A name doesn’t define us. We do what we do out of love and respect for Pearl Jam. We have always been clear that we will ‘Yield’ to Pearl Jam’s demands and equally clear that our disappointment was only ever of the timing and manner in which those demands were made. We are proud to announce our new name: ‘Legal Jam’ which we thought would be fitting and under which we will continue to perform the music of Pearl Jam in the most heartfelt and authentic way. We look forward to reconnecting with our own fans (and other tributes) who have been so supportive through this as well welcoming the new fans who have joined us over the last week, as soon as we are back on the road”.
