Yes and yes.  However, at the very beginning of their career they were 
already called Status Quo, but their music was quite different.

Back in 1986, a friend of mine (a very accomplished musician) and I were 
at a festival where Status Quo were on the bill.  He wasn't familiar 
with Status Quo.  After they played a medley, he remarked that that last 
song was rather long.  :-)
