Talk:Operation Ivy (band)

Untitled
I am just wondering about the dates listed as the formation of the band Operation Ivy? You list them as starting in 1987. I know my band opened for them in June of 1986. We were called Porcelain God. It was a small garage party in Chico, CA. We literally played out of a garage to about 30 or 40 drunk skate punks and assorted others. The show was at Penny Voekel's house, and Operation Ivy and Crimpshrine both played. I thought they shared some members in common too? I believe Matt used to visit Chico quite a bit back then, as he was friends with my friend Nicole Montalbano. That also translated into an exodus of many of us visiting Berkeley and going to shows at Gilman Street! I just wanted to share this little tidbit of ancient history! If anybody has input on this and wants to contact me my e-mail address is lucky13lance69@hotmail.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.59.17 (talk • contribs) 03:19, 21 December 2003


 * Hi lucky13lance69! You know way more than I do... feel free to edit the article! Maybe it is not very interesting to "the whole world" who has been friend of whom, but I miss a lot of information on subjects like MRR, Gilman Street, and so on.

 * PS: I did not start the article. It was somebody, who vandalized a lot of things in Wikipedia. I think I saved the OpIvy-Music part from being deleted... --Diftong 21:15, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)


 * Operation Ivy did in fact start in 1987. You probably played for Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman's pre-Operation Ivy band Basic Radio. There is proof of their beginings in the Rancid song Journey to the End where Tim says "Started in '87, ended in '89"-Zman48

Clean-up
This article could use some clean-up, including grammar, references, ect. I have tried cleaning up as best as I can, but it could still use some additional clean-up. It would be good to try to make this a good/featured article, so maybe someone should make a to-do list or an assessment summary page or something. --Blaguymonkey (talk) 08:50, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
