Is that real? I'm confused. How could it happen? Is there another entity we know not of bearing the name? That's crazy. But fairly neat-0 - I should say.

Eisley made it to the train grafitti level? los (laughing out soft)

well after some quick research I can prove that the pic was not photoshopped and the art wasnt created with our eisley in mind (but pretty cool nonetheless Shane Very Happy ).
Here's how:

The pic is linked from graffiti.org aand can be found by browsing the endstation site there (notice the endstation word in the lower left of the pic). It seems that endstation was a mag that covered graffiti art on overseas trains. So the pic wasn't photoshoped.

The photo was taken sometime before March 24, 2000... the date that it was uploaded to the server it's on. And even if the server's clock was incorrect, the photo can be found under a section of photos from Stockholm that was put up (according to the site's text) on Aug 22, 2001. Note the train was sitting in Stockholm at the time the picture was taken.

Ok, so a pre-2001 photo. Boyd registered the original domain for this band on March the 9th 2001. There's no way swedish graffiti artists knew about Eisley in the year 2000. (Ok well maybe the photo is not pre-2001.. who would upload a photo more than a year before they were going to use it.. the server clock must have been incorrect.. the artists could have found the tyler band's site right when it opened and rushed out to do some art. Prolly happened.. our eisley is so grand. They are grand, seriously.)

There is a band from Gothenburg Sweden whose been around a while and there name was Mos Eisley (www.eisley.tk). And according to this world atlas thingy here, Gothenburg and Stockholm are major cities in the southern part of Sweden. So, it's highly possible that some graffiti artist had heard of the band and decided to paint the last part of their name on a train in Stockholm. (Plus, that band officially announced their name change to Eisley in 2002.. people may have refered to them as eisley before then.) And whose to say that it wasnt painted in Gothenburg and the train traveled to Stockholm before the pic was taken.

It's elementary my dear Watson.
