Ten Grand (formerly The Vidablue)

Ten Grand was a screamo/post-hardcore rock group from Iowa. The group was mostly centered around the college-town of Iowa City. They played hundreds of gigs between 1998 and 2003. The group was originally called The Vida Blue or Vida Blue. Around 2002 they were approached by an attorney working for the bassist of Phish who was looking to name his group Vida Blue. Though they had little claim to the name to begin with, they settled out of court for $10,000. Read more on Last.fm
