LA Times A&E writer Geoff Boucher spends three paragraphs getting it all wrong about the band Eisley. That's not the family name, it's a (part of a) name from "Star Wars". The family name is DuPree.
The band originally went by the name "Moss Eisley", but had to shorten it after the movie studio threatened legal action. Putting out bad movies and threatening legal action is the main business of studios these days.
