US Country band Dixie Chicks going for a name change

The US Country music band Dixie Chicks have dropped the word Dixie and will be henceforth called The Chicks. The all girl group formed in 1989 decided on the name change following ongoing protests over slavery issues. The group which has won 13

Grammy awards is the second US Country band to opt for a name change recently. Also the post hardcore band the Slaves announced they were changing their name too but did not reveal the new name at the time the announcement was made. 5
