Name associated with band at Wells, a remote community (5,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alice springs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a remote community' is the definition.
(remote Australian town)

'name associated with band at wells' is the wordplay.
'name associated with band' becomes 'Alice' (Alice band is a type of hairband).
'at wells' becomes 'springs' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'alice'+'springs'='ALICE SPRINGS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alice springs that I've seen before include "Aussie town" , "somewhere in the outback" , "Australian town - place's rising (anag)" , "Town of Northern Territory, Australia" , "Remote Australian town" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
