Musicians and shared interesting facts about choosing a name for the group: Billy Novik: I proposed to come up with a cool name for a band, but at that time no one was looking, and I said about how Steve jobs: «If no one will come up tomorrow I'll call the team the most stupid name - Billy's Band».
