Opinion Question:
(I'm going to try to not make this as biased as possible)
2 members of an indie band unsuspectedly quit their band in a way that leaves them on not so good of terms with their now ex band members to move across the country to start a new band with a member of a not so indie band that left her band for the same reason.
Now, this new band that they formed comes back to play a bunch of shows in the city that those 2 members original band was from. On their poster underneath their new bands name they write "ex members of" and bring up their old bands. The old bands however still remain and with the same name.
Do you feel this was right of them to do, or should they have just left it out and allow themselves to grow as their own?
This has been eating away at me since friday.

all too many bands have "former members of" on their label. if the bands style's are comparable, this is an acceptable thing. eg; Bane and Barrit (sp? also check me for correctness). If the new band is not so much the same, it's merely self-aggrandisement. Much like calling a movie "produced by the team that brough you..."
