OOR Magazine, April 2008:

“For a while they thought about naming themselves simply Turner & Kane. [..] In December 2007 Turner gave away to OOR they would call themselves Shadow Puppets, but he was overruled by their management, who kindly asked not to publish the name as they were not quite in agreement about it yet. [..]



February 2008:

Turner: “We call ourselves The Last Shadow Puppets”

A silence followed.

Kane: “Ah, no response whatsoever. That sounds promising! [laughs]”

Turner, almost apologetically: “Yes, but… I am very proud of this name anyway. It’s no small feat, coming up with a band name. What has become of those initial Shadow Puppets? They said they would be back at sunset, but they never showed up. [laughs]”
