The Name
Although Kokomo, Indiana does exist, none of the band members were from it, nor did the band ever play there.
In certain parts of Indiana, piling several people into the front seat of a car and nobody in the rear seat was once referred to as "riding Kokomo style." The newly formed and nameless band rode Kokomo style to their early jobs because the back seat was filled with instruments and equipment.
"Kokomo Bros" (never with a period) was not short for "Kokomo Brothers." The word "bros" was pronounced brōz (rhymes with "froze").
