This has less than nothing to do with a bad hippie band. It has to do with a common intentional misspelling.

Many years ago, there were people who did the same thing as hackers (media definition) / crackers, but with phones. The were known as "phreakers".

Same thing.

It's not a band name but for an early example of bad spelling by Rock Bands look no further:
