Talk:Captain Bogg and Salty

Notability
Notabilty is claimed for this band on the following grounds on WP:MUSIC


 * Reviewed by national press (EW)
 * Representative of a particular sub-genre (pirate rock)

Further; I am in no way associated with the band. --EngineerScotty 05:31, 6 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Notability requires multiple reviews; please find another beside the one-para EW bit. Also, what is pirate rock? This band appears to be a themed/novelty children's group with some ironic crossover appeal. Maybe that's notable, but making up a label "pirate rock" isn't. jnestorius(talk) 09:02, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Pirate metal is a sub-genre, and so is pirate rock; neither is a "made-up label". Both of these are sometimes categorized together within "pirate core". Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's "made-up" (although every concept in existence is "made up", so that phrase itself is just weasel words). Some evidence that these are actual popular phenomena: Cernansky (talk) 00:59, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Iannotti guitar
I've just noticed that the page cradits Paul Iannotti with piano and vocals, but in the second pand picture he's playing a guitar. What gives? --66.241.72.237 01:57, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ignore the picture. :)  He's credited with piano and vocals on the album liner notes--the reliable source in this instance (the intrument listings were taken from there)--and in fact, he does play keyboard (and the melodica) and sing in live performances.  He did play guitar in Pirate Jenny; but I've never seen him pick up a guitar for Bogg and Salty.  --EngineerScotty 03:12, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

No longer?
Connecting the dots and jumping to conclusions, it seems like the Disney contract they signed forbade them from continuing as an independent band. - Richfife (talk) 20:58, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Official Website - Archive copy located
When repairing a citation with a missing url I found that the link is NOT the official site but rather a tribute site by a former member of the band put up after the main site went down.

Here is the real deal site in archive

Leaving this info here in the hopes a future editor with correct the article and citations to reflect this.
