Guitarist Suing Geils Band Over Name



A story that seemed inevitable came our way today with a report that guitarist John Geils, the 'J. Geils' of the Boston Blues-Rock band that recently regrouped and announced a tour, is filing suit to prevent his former band mates from touring or recording as the J. Geils Band.  The news that papers were being filed requesting a court to block continued use of the name comes just a couple of weeks after a release served notice that legal action could result if Peter Wolf and other members of the group ignored a request to cease using the name (story).
