Name Change
Because of legal problems concerning a reunion tour of 1970s horror rock act Lemming the band name was officially changed to "Flemming". In July 2000, Flemming's official self-titled debut was released. Dutch established pop watchers and critics were positive about the album. Pop magazine LiveXS chose the album as album of the month. The first single released from the album was the song "Name?". The promotional video in which the band performed the song next to the set of an adult movie was banned from the Dutch music channel TMF during day time. A censored version did reach day time television.
While promoting their debut album in Dutch live circuit Flemming also made numerous appearances on Dutch TV and radio during 2000/2001. Programs like 2-metersessies, TMF Café and De Plantage featured TV performances of the band. On the radio Flemming performed on Leidsekade live, BNN Live and Isabelle. In 2001, Flemming played at the Noorderslag Festival once more, and in May 2001 "Starry Night" became the second single from the debut album. The song was orchestrated by Robert Kirby, well known for his work with English singer-songwriter Nick Drake (1948–1974).

Famous quotes containing the word change:
“True self is the part of us that does not change when circumstances do.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
