Wayne Fontana's band was called The Jets, but due to an existing band using the name, an alternative name had to be sought – it was decided that the band would take the name "The Mindbenders", which was the name of a film on release at the time – Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders then came into being.
Коллектив решил использовать название только что вышедшего в Великобритании художественного фильма — так возникла группа "Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders".
