A band called Room 217

edited June 2005 in General news
Chicagoist: What does the name “Room 217” mean and where does it come from?



Frank: It’s from the novel, “The Shining”, a Stephen King novel. Actually, in the film, it’s called room 237, but I’m more a fan of the novels. Room 217, it’s actually one of the haunted rooms in the hotel, in which a dead woman rises from the tub and goes after a little kid staying in the hotel.



Sara: So what that means to us, as far as the band? We like to think of it as the mysterious room, like you don’t know what’s in there, where it came from, something different, something mysterious.



Frank: We’re not exactly trying to represent Stephen King. We thought the name sounded cool.
