During their first shows, the band was called "For The Family"; but the band soon changed its name to UBBA, meaning "Without B, Just A". They also used the names "UBBA·T", and "UBBA-Teens". The names are an obvious spoof of Swedish pop bands ABBA and ABBA-Teens (A-Teens); which they often parodied in several of his official photos. During that year, they released an EP called "1972".
