Magnum - Lonely Night

I didn't know they were called The London Suede in the US. Over here they're just Suede. There must be two bands with the same name.
I gather there is an American folk singer that uses/used that stage name. I'd be interested to know the circumstance of the Britpop act's...binym?...given how other disputes have been resolved. Two acts sharing the name "The Beat" agreed to both change their names (Paul Collins' Beat and The English Beat resulting, though the latter only went by such for American appearances). Patrick Campbell-Lyons of Nirvana (formed in the '60s in the UK) sued the Seattle band over name use and reportedly a settlement was reached that allowed both acts to continue to release and perform without changing their names. The former even covered the latter's work.

yeah if i remember right some singer based out of maryland decided to sue them because they tried to use the name suede when she was using it here first. hence why they're the london suede here.

It sounds like they had a trademark dispute with this lounge singer. As far as I can tell she hasn't had to change her name yet but then I doubt she has ever toured in the UK (possibly because lounge to us is a synonym for "primary living area in a place of residence").
I'm guessing a similar condition would apply to any British tour by the American blues band Yazoo had anyone here ever heard of them.
