The Dixie Chicks Will Now Be Known As The Chicks

Published|Updated

The Dixie Chicks have officially dropped "Dixie" from the band name and will now be known as The Chicks. The new The Chicks even have an agreement with New Zealand's The Chicks, who were active in the 1960s and last released an album in 1970, to use the name. The name change also coincides as the new Chicks release of a protest song video called "March March."

Nine days ago Lady Antebellum became Lady A. Lady Antebellum said they were becoming Lady A because Antebellum has an association with slavery.
