Tef London is the new name of Teflon Don, a Skarific 8 piece from Orlando, Florida. Seems innocent enough until, catch this, they were forced to change their name because of a pending trademark.
Teflon Don, as most of us affectionately knew them, had been playing punk/swing/ska for 3 years. They ripped up the Orlando Ska scene and had brief notoriety when in 2010 they shot a low budget music video named One for the Drinkers after their single. Everything seemed great for Teflon Don. Suddenly in early May 2013 due to a trademark complaint their Facebook page went completely offline. Even their Youtube videos were in hot water. This might seem trivial, but in this high tech world being detached from the social media means no one knows about you.
The Complainant is a Memphis Rapper by the name Donald Askey. He has allegedly sued Rick Ross and DJ Khaled for using his pseudonym. Low and behold we have the case in hand. According to University of Florida Business Consultant Michael Prizament,”Facebook and Youtube were protecting themselves and their clients from further legal action. Since Facebook has no legitimate claim over Teflon Don they can not proclaim one client has been using said name longer and thus deserves the domain name. Since Mr.Askey has a trademark pending he has a legitimate claim over the name rights.”
Thus Teflon Don chose cleverly to rebrand themselves Tef London. Their new Facebook page is now up and running. As an incentive to visit the new site, for every 100 likes Tef London gets they will select a random fan to receive a free T-shirt and CD.

The Pepitones – Bandcamp Page (play/listen)
Currently a solo act with plans on full band instrumentation The Pepitones are the freshest Ska band out of Gainesville. I recommend track 5 Lawanda’s Magic Organ but really all of the tracks are solid.
