Let's all admit it, the name New Model Army is just too long of a name to be successful. Looking at super bands that made it in the industry, you'll notice that two words is the absolute maximum. R.E.M., U2, The Cure, Foo Fighters (originally The Foo Fighters but changed because it was three words), Queen, Blur, Oasis, the list goes on and on and on. And where are Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians now? Right. There may be the odd exception (yes you, Red Hot Chili Peppers), but we can all agree that with a name like New Model, or The Army, the Super Bowl would have been within reach.
Now funny you bring up the Super Bowl. I did some research, and guess what: Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, Madonna, The Who, all bands that had the opportunity to play at the world's most prestigious music festival during the last few years. Count the words. I say count them!
Point proven.
