The Band
Neptune was the name that ancient Romans gave to the Greek god of the sea and earthquakes, Poseidon. He was the brother of Jupiter (Zeus) and of Pluto (Hades). After the defeat of their father Saturn (Cronos), the three brothers divided the world in three parts to be ruled by one of the three brothers. Jupiter took the sky, Neptune the sea and Pluto the underworld.
Neptune had the reputation for having a violent temper. Tempests and earthquakes were a reflection of his furious rage. He was depicted as a bearded man holding a trident and seated in a seashell drawn by sea-horses. One day Neptune saw the water nymph Amphitrite dancing in the island of Naxos and fell in love with her. He promptly asked her to marry him but unfortunately she refused. However, not discouraged by Amphitrite's refusal, Neptune sent one of his servants, a dolphin, to look for her. The dolphin found her, and pleaded Neptune's cause so persuasively that she changed her mind. As a reward for finding and returning Amphitrite to him, Neptune immortalized the dolphin by placing it in the heavens as the constellation Dolphinus. Neptune and Amphitrite had several children. Among them was Triton, whose name was given in 1846 by William Lassell to the principal moon of the planet Neptune.
No. None of this really applies to the band. We just thought you should know.

Bios
Neptune
Neptune, which is usually the eighth planet from the Sun, is a very cold place. Occasionally the ninth planet Pluto crosses Neptune's orbit and becomes the "eighth planet". Its bluish color comes from its atmosphere of methane gas. The planet has 13 moons and a very narrow, faint ring system.
We understand Pluto isn't officially a planet anymore. It will always be one in our hearts.
