er, thats where they got their name from. They're called 'The Tycho Brahe' because theres also an Australian band called 'Tycho Brahe'. Yes there was much confusion with their name at the start but now most people have got the hang of it.

TEE-co BRA-yuh

..is supposed to be the correct way to pronounce it.
