Weird discovery here while bopping around Youtube The Squids were founded in 1989 they own the name We are talking the LaTour Spatafora Squids from Chicago It seems that EVERY garage band from California has used the name The Squids at one time or another roughly since 2008 as far as I can tell These are NOT Squids tribute or cover bands either Maybe this is where the original confusion started To research The Squids please tag LaTour Spatafora and Chicago and i believe this will become crystal clear to anyone investigating The Squids I find this humorous but I d bet that this slack in research is how The Squids may have been forced to merge with Latour after the original accusations of being a garage band Dennis Brown might get a chuckle out of this too
