The Name of this Band was Lawsuit
Once upon a time there was a band in Davis named Lawsuit. It was a 10 piece band, known for its quirky lyrics and its 4-piece horn section (the Horns of Adequacy). The band played up and down California, were popular entertainment for the Whole Earth Festival and regulars at the Palms Playhouse when it was still here in Davis.
The band broke up in 1996 and its lead singer, ![[WWW]](http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/sycamore-www.png){kind=small}
Paul Sykes died in 1999.
People still ask Armadillo Records for CDs and are now directed to The Lawsuit Graveyard for history, photos, and a download site for every song Lawsuit ever recorded.

2006-07-07 08:11:20 Lawsuit was my favorite band when I was attending UCD. The halloween show they did at the Varsity theater will be in my mind forever (especially the Oingo Boingo covers, those were fabulous). I still listen to Emergency Third Rail Power Trip on occasion, as well as some of the earlier Preoccupied Pipers work. I miss this band. :( —AlexPomeranz
2006-08-09 03:12:40 Aaron feldstein showed me this incredible music when he found third rail power trip(One of lawsuits CDs) a few years back (I beleive at his girlfriends mothers hosue) and I've been hooked ever since. I've got all their Mp3s from the graveyard, and i'm on the waiting list for CDs at armadillo and the two major music stores in berkley. They were an absolutley amazing band and i'm very dissapointed I never knew about then while they were still in existance as a group. It's unfortunate that they're not around anymore, Davis could use a glorious local band to get behind. Just absolutley stunning lyrics. —OlinHannum
2006-09-09 23:19:09 oh man, Lawsuit was the first band I grew up listening to. The radio station my dad worked at got a 5 song EP of theirs that I still have to this day. —JordanDuBois
