fter recording a demo as Empty Set, they found out another band had copyrighted that name. They changed their name to Chewbacca Kaboom, and recorded another demo, which, again, recieved little to no attention. They changed their name again, to One Day I Stopped Breathing, and then to the name that stuck, Sunny Day Real Estate. Several theories have developed as to where this name came from, such as it being a line from a Talking Heads song, another from a T.S. Eliot poem, but the most popular is that after a discussion that Dan and Nate had concerning how everything in the world is bought and sold, Nate made the comment that soon people would be trying to sell sunny days.
