Members of the Portland, Oregon-based Asian-American rock band The Slants Tyler Chen, Ken Shima, Simon Tam, Joe X. Jiang pose in Portland, Oregon, U.S., August 21, 2015 in a picture released by band representatives.For Simon Tam, oral arguments in the U.S. Supreme Court case about whether he could trademark the name of the band he founded,"The Slants," was the culmination of more than five years of hard work, broken relationships and stress.
But after the January 2017 court date, Tam didn’t take a break. Instead, he set out on two parallel tours: one playing shows with the band and another speaking at law schools and legal events. Then, he got married. “That part was probably the most chaotic,” Tam said. “We were on tour, and I crammed about 70-plus appearances in about 60 days.”That period of time — as well as Tam’s upbringing, musical career, and journey to the Supreme Court — are detailed in his upcoming memoir, “Slanted: How an Asian American Troublemaker Took on the Supreme Court,” scheduled for release April 30 from Tam’s Troublemaker Press.
The case began after the band lost a ruling at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
