The Toot Toot Toots Are Now The Twin Beasts

Genre-bending band The Toot Toot Toots have officially changed their name to Twin Beasts, it's been revealed.

It appears as though the band's name was getting a little lost in translation in some parts of the world. Their statement explains it all really:

"We are changing our name. The Toot Toot Toots are no longer The Toot Toot Toots. We are now Twin Beasts. Same members, same band, new name. You might be asking why we're doing this. Pretty much, after we completed the new album we were discussing future release and tour plans. We found out that the word 'Toot' was being lost in translation. In a number of counties the word was widely being interpreted as 'fart'. It was actually the first thing people thought of when they heard the word 'toot'. Despite this being pretty funny, we decided that it would be best for us to move on with a new name. It's not a decision that we made quickly or flippantly, but it's a decision that we're going to stick with, so if you see the name 'Twin Beasts' around town, that's us. Everything else is business as usual."

With their new moniker officially out there now, the band are concentrating on releasing some new material in the near future, along with some tour plans currently in the works.
