"Art in Manila was going to be called Art Bell, after the creator of and the radio voice behind late-night syndicated talk show, Coast to Coast AM. The famed broadcaster is famous for delivering commentary dealing with paranormal phenomena like ghosts and UFOs. Although the subject matter seemed to fit the aesthetic of the band, there were potential legal issues, so the band name was changed to make reference to Bell's 2006 tenure in the Philippines."

Probably not Smokey The Bear's favorite campfire singalong...
Much props to Art Bell, by the way. Never realized this band name was a reference to him.

Holy crackers! If Orenda, Eleni Mandell, and Neko Case teamed up to do an album, the universe would just implode.
