Amusing for everyone except Dan Snaith, who had released two albums under the name Manitoba. Snaith has been forced to change his band name after a lawsuit on behalf of Handsome Dick Manitoba, frontman for ageing punk band The Dictators and best known for being clobbered by Wayne County. Handsome Dick sued for trademark infringement.
Manitoba is now known as Caribou.
Whether or not the Pixies will pursue Snaith on similar grounds remains to be seen.
