In 1993 the decision was taken to go for folk and not for grunge, but still there was no name for the band. A fortnight after the crucial decision had been taken, the band was asked to give some concerts in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to promote a well known Irish stout. Inspired by the advertisement of the same beer, the band performed for a while as 'Good for you'... Well, we all have off days. Later this name was changed into 'Good, Fat and Ugly'. Some fans however, didn't understand why the band liked this not too flattering name and preferred to say: 'the GFU's'. Another change forced itself upon the boys. At the end of a long night of brainstorming, they stumbled across the name 'Snakes in Exile'.
