G&G Club changes its name

(I've updated this entry to reflect that the settlement amount reached by the two sides was confidential and far less than previously reported.)

And in more N.C. Music Factory news, there's been a name shakeup at the former Garden & Gun Club.

The house-music-focused dance club has been in the midst of a trademark-infringement lawsuit filed by South Carolina-based Garden & Gun Magazine nearly a year ago.

The two sides settled about six months ago in a confidential agreement and the club's name officially changed to Halo this week.

The club will celebrate its new name tonight with Global Fever 4, featuring New York's DJ Nicknakis and Charlotte's DJ Kosta X.

Wonder why they didn't go with the obvious "Guns 'n da Hood?"

The name Halo is ripped off from a bar in Johnston City, TN.
