Fictionist faces facts
The Provo band Fictionist (formerly known as Good Morning Maxfield) came up short in its bid to win a spot in tonight's Austin City Limits Music Festival.

The Steps, a band from Austin, wowed the judges in front of a hometown crowd Wednesday night, winning the Sound and the Jury contest - a competition that drew entries from 700 bands - according to this story from KEYE, the CBS affiliate in Austin.

"All in all, this was such an excellent experience to be here in Austin, one of the music capitals of America, and meet some great industry contacts and share our music with a new and welcoming audience," the band wrote on its old web site.

I've had a little fun, at Fictionist's expense, over the band changing its name. So let me add that one of the other finalists, also from Austin, has one of my favorite band names: The Scotland Yard Sale. It's no Kathleen Turner Overdrive, but it's pretty cool wordplay.
