Little River Band In March 2002 Birtles Shorrock Goble were formed as a soft rock trio, initially as "The Original Little River Band" or "The Voices of Little River Band"; they undertook a series of reunion concerts performing the group's earlier material.[54][56] By July 2002 a legal dispute over the use of the name "Little River Band" was settled out of court with the agreement that Housden had the naming rights due to his sole ownership of We Two Pty Ltd. and the Little River Band trademark.[56][57][58] A further legal case, which was also settled out of court in mid-2005, allowed the trio to advertise their Little River Band connection but not to perform under that name.[59] Goble, Birtles and Shorrock have shared their frustration through song; Goble recorded "Someone's Taken Our History",[60] Birtles recorded "Revolving Door"[61] and Shorrock recorded "Hear My Voice".[62]
