Talk:The Crucifucks

Untitled
I would like to substantially change a sentence in the article, from:

A picture of a slain police officer on the album's front cover led to a lawsuit against the Crucifucks by the Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police, which the band eventually lost.

To:

A picture of a Philadelphia police officer posing as shot -- originally part of a public relations campaign to obtain wage concessions from the city    -- was used on the album's back cover. Four years later, its discovery by the Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police led to a lawsuit against the Crucifucks, which was eventually dismissed.

Judah Bauer of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion????
I could swear that I once read that Judah Bauer of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion was the bassist in the Wisconsin-era Crucifucks. Nothing on the internet can confirm this for me. Anyone???? Colinclarksmith (talk) 13:56, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Former members
In between the first album and Wisconsin, Todd Southern played bass, but did not appear on any recordings. He was replaced by Aaron Vanderpool. The Wisconsin-era lineup featured Aaron Vanderpool on bass and second guitar, and Joel Kuszai on drums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.179.227.58 (talk) 16:18, 4 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Good to know! I will add all that to the article.  Colinclarksmith (talk) 04:29, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh yeah, and the first bassist was Scott Fagersten. He left before the first album was recorded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.179.227.58 (talk) 14:08, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that Judah Bauer was never in the Crucifucks.


 * A recent article by Sam McPheeters (cited in the first paragraph of the Crucifucks Wikipedia article) had Scott's last name as "Begerston". I don't 100% trust McPheeters.  Who is this leaving this information?  I'm happy to hear of someone who's knowledgeable on the Crucifucks lineage, I've long been curious.  I have another question to direct to you - is Gus Varner truly the guitarist on the first record?  The guitar tone and playing style sounds very similar to Joe Dart's on the Why Be Something You're Not? footage.  Answers, please and thank you!  Colinclarksmith (talk) 15:34, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, Gus Varner was definitely the guitarist on the first Crucifucks album. You can ask him if you want, he's on Facebook.

Wisconsin vs. Michigan
Why are they listed as based out of Michigan if they had an album titled Wisconsin? Based on the album title alone I always assumed they were from Wisconsin. If the started out of Michigan and moved around then the "origin" part of the info box is still correct but the body should note that they weren't exclusively based out of Lansing (unless, of course, they were).

 * They were based out of Lansing, Michigan. The titular song from the Wisconsin LP is about their associations with their neighboring state, not their home state.  I can see where you'd get confused, but make no mistake, the Crucifucks have always been based in Michigan.  Colinclarksmith (talk) 16:40, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Title
Is there a reason this page is titled "Crucifucks (band)"? To what else could the term "Crucifucks" possibly apply? Joefromrandb (talk) 21:37, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * After another look, it seems the original title was "Crucifucks", which was later moved to the present title. I have no issue with "Crucifucks" being moved to "The Crucifucks", but I fail to see why "(band)" is necessary. Joefromrandb (talk) 21:40, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved. DrKiernan (talk) 09:23, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

The Crucifucks (band) → The Crucifucks – The Crucifucks redirects to The Crucifucks (band). They have an eponymous album appropriately disambiguated as The Crucifucks (album), so no real need to disambiguate the band as it would be the primary topic here.

Tour with ZTTF
I found a bandcamp link for the band listed in the history section as opening for Dart when he performed in the early aughts, but nothing about these performances. Concertarchives lists the last performance as '96. Could the section about Dart's time with ZTTF be moved to a biography page about Dart himself (if verified) or removed entirely?
