If the band was an animal, they'd be: a wild horse with a beautiful mane
Or if they were a food, they'd be: the spoonful of sugar that makes the medicine go down
What about a piece of furniture?: one of those elegant Louis XIV stuff chairs
Okay, how about something to wear?: the new clothes that the emperor should have been wearing
Animal, vegetable... pick a mineral: that putinto shampoo to give you hair volume
After taking a full year to record their full-length debut, I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On, Los Angeles’ The Brokedown were forced to change their name after a cease-and-desist from a Chicago band of the same name.Eschewing any Brokedown Jr. or The SuperBrokedown (the suggestion of their label, Merge Records), they became The Broken West – a name similar, but not too similar, and pointing to their home without actually breaking from the rest of the country.
