Q:How did you guys meet and how did starting a band come into the picture?
A:through school. The Band was originally called Subterfudge with a fellow by the name of Matt Schwartz excersicing the larynx.
Q:How did The Pregnancy get its name?
A:Daniel, having never been fully satisfied with the name "Subterfugde", suggested changing the name of the band. "The Ghetto Jigga Warrior All-Star Clan Killaz" was briefly thrown around, but they decided against it because "It was stupid". Neither one could come up with anything better, so they decided that some day someone would think of something, and they would change it. James went on vacation to Boston and while there, found a copy of Ted Rall's comic strip/anti-Gen-X rant book "Revenge of the Latchkey Kids" in a store for one dollar. At one point in the book, Ted mentioned that "The Unplanned Pregnancy" would be a cool name for a band. James agreed and suggested it to Daniel. Apparently Daniel liked it and they adopted the name. No Pun intented.
