Original members of the bands Sha Na Na and The Drifters urged New Jersey lawmakers Monday to penalize impostors who perform while posing as members of famous oldies bands. The measure would make it a violation of the Consumer Fraud Act to use the name of a famous band without having at least one original member. Artists have lost millions in revenue, according to Jon Bauman, formerly "Bowzer" of Sha Na Na, while consumers are deceived into thinking they have paid to see an original act when they have not.

Original members of the bands Sha Na Na and The Drifters urged New Jersey lawmakers Monday to penalize impostors who perform in Atlantic City and elsewhere while posing as members of famous oldies bands.
“In a sophisticated form of identity theft, impostor groups are duping consumers and stealing the names, the remuneration and the legacy of the pioneers of rock ‘n’ roll,” Jon Bauman, formerly “Bowzer” of Sha Na Na, told legislators.
