  Lucas : The first thing you need is a name. Then you'll know what kind of band you've got.

  Lucas : Is that with a C or with a K?

  Mark : Well my name is with a

  [checks his nametag] 

  Mark : K, so I was thinking my band's name could be with a C. That way it's kind of that psychedelic, you know, trip thing.
