Vida Blue (band) - Name

Name

Vida Blue got its name from the 1970s Major League Baseball pitcher Vida Blue. Blue himself joined the band on stage in 2004 at The Fillmore in San Francisco.

A screamo band from Iowa City, Iowa had been using the same name since 1999. The band subsequently changed their name to "Ten Grand," reportedly because they were paid $10,000.00 to relinquish rights to the name to McConnell.
