ESKIMO CALLBOY CANCELS ALL APPEARANCES IN RUSSIA AND ANNOUNCES NAME CHANGE TO ELECTRIC CALLBOY
In their latest video statement, ESKIMO CALLBOY officially announces the change of their band name. From now on, the well-known band will be called ELECTRIC CALLBOY. In addition, all gigs in Russia have been canceled until further notice.
The band stated: "Like any clear-thinking person, we are appalled by the invasion of Ukraine by Putin and his henchmen and the situation there. We can only hope there will be a quick end to the fighting. Our thoughts are with all Ukrainians who have woken up in another world without any fault of their own. But we also think of all the people in Russia who are taking to the streets or silently protesting for peace. Music, fun and celebration, all the things we love to do, become tiny with all this."
Against this backdrop, the announcement of the new name also turns out to be different than planned. "Before we all woke up in another world, we talked to quite a bunch of people in the last few weeks to better decide for ourselves what is the right way to handle the name issue. The result is simple: we will change our name because we don't want to hurt or exclude anyone with our name, and we definitely don't want to promote century-old stereotypes. We will always remain what you and all of us associate with Eskimo Callboy, but will immediately be called Electric Callboy. In German words: Aus Raider wird jetzt Twix, ansonsten ändert sich nix.“
The band had planned to announce the new name with a big video and the usual wink. But there are currently significantly more important matters than "some stupid name", the band emphasized. "That's why we'll leave it at that for now. We'll definitely catch up, but there's no room for it today. Let's all use our energy to work for peace and solidarity. Since we've been in the world, that's never been more important than now."
