Gatsbys American Dream gets their name from The Great Gatsby, a book written by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Gatsbys began with the disbanding of two bands called One Point Two and Good For Nothing. Bobby Darling was a guitarist for One Point Two and met up with Nic Newsham and Ryan Van Wieringen who were the lead singer and guitarist from Good For Nothing.

    There shouldn't be an apostrophe. Without an apostrophe is how the band spells it. That is the correct way.
