Milwaukee's sister group "Vic & Gab" are changing their name -- to what, we don't know. But it got us thinking: what other groups have changed their names?
Well, there were The Young Aborigines, Two Shades Deep, Mookie Blaylock and a lot of others you've never heard of -- because they became famous with new names.
We're not predicting this will happen to Vic & Gab (although that would be awesome, and it's certainly possible).
But it begs the age-old question: what's in a name? Here are 10 groups who thought it was important enough to changed theirs.
