Mr. Justin Mauriello used to be pretty famous. He was in a band known as " Zebrahead", which did a Rock/Alternative/Rap/Hip-Hop. The band was pretty famous, they did world tours and even had a music video done at the playboy mansion ( come on, seriously!). His role in the band was serious. He found himself doing co-lead vocals and second guitar. His voice became a part of the band's signiture blend of genres.
However, this seemed not to be. In 2004 he felt a need to do something else rather than listening to the Rapping of fellow band member Mr. Ali. In 2004 he started a project known as " I Hate Kate " and saw some enjoyment in it. After a tour in Japan with Zebrahead, he left to focus more on I Hate Kate.
The name came from an ex he used to date and appearently hated greatly considering if you name your band after how you feel about an ex...
His band hasn't been as successful as his other one, but to him it seems more important that...
Anyways, in 2010 a woman named Kate left him a threatening phone call demanding that he change his band's name. Appearently she felt offended...
The recording was on youtube last time I checked, however it might be gone.
When I listened to it, she sounded mad... But I did remember a quote from it that has really stuck in my head... " You can hate what I have done to you, however you can't name your band after my name!". The band later changed their name to " Darling Thieves" after this.
Overall, I think this is an insane reason to change the name of your band... It wasn't like they were named after anyone specific, I am sure there are more than 1 Kates that exist on this planet! Kate Middleton, Kate from Jon and Kate.... I am sure if I really looked around, I could get an insanely long list. Either way, he isn't meantioning one in particular, as far as she is concerned he might be refering to another Kate. He also didn't use her lasttime, something that has to mean something....
I am wondering if she did this because she feels bitter about the songs her wrote about her... If that is the case, she needs to just move on like he has...
