Reference

The band originally known as Manhole changed their name to Tura Satana due to a legal conflict with another band that had a similar name. They adopted the name in honor of the iconic cult actress Tura Satana, who was famous for her role in the film "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" This name change reflected their admiration for her strong, rebellious persona, which resonated with the band's identity and music style.
