Untitled[edit]

First off, I found this band while looking through a Men's Health magazine. (I am not a promoter).

I think it meets criterion four(international tour). Tworen 12:27, October 28, 2007

Reviews[edit]

gross motor discretion[edit]

should the 'gmd' be added as a new section for the bands entry on wikipedia? i think it is worth a mention.24.213.220.161 (talk) 00:54, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, someone really should add info on the GMD here. It is relevant I think. 72.255.48.212 (talk) 00:11, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- - What is "Gross Motor Discretion"? ImpulsivePuppy (talk) 00:15, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

sounds like a troll attack - no references provided etc --Richlv (talk) 19:04, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno, I saw yeasayer at austin and denver and saw at least three different people with 'GMD' t-shirts on (said gross motor) on the back at each show. Not sure what it means. I came to this page to try to find out.12.68.63.194 (talk) 23:43, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it does make sense that gross motor discretion should at least be referred to. 98.117.145.168 (talk) 03:14, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

national attention[edit]

i'd suggest changing phrase "first came to national attention"

while for many it would be decipherable that usa is meant there, for many it would be "um, which nation is that speaking about ?" --Richlv (talk) 19:02, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

their own nation, of course. This is unequivocal. If I am Italian and I come to national infamy it is where? Sweden? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.70.113.196 (talk) 23:13, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
