It's Australian slang. Look it up in wiki.

Names

Just wondering how we should write down the boys names, what with them adopting pseudonyms an all...

I've added the Band Details Box and such, now abouts to rearrange content (previous edits on 12th August were me) Hejog 18:26, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Cunningham has produced other work in last 7 years, I'm taking that out Drew 04:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do we have a source for the video details? Hejog 17:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Vandalism

Someone has been trashing the page consistantly - and somewhere in the midst of this vandalism the information about the album "Strange house" has been lost... I'm not very wiki literate.. could someone please put this information back on? Thank you.

Joe's Name dispute

Drum player Coffin Joe's real name is NOT Johnathon, it is Joseph - any articles that say otherwise are poorly researched and basically - bad journalism, (and the journalists continuing to make this mistake are probably basing it on the misinformed section on this wikipedia page) Whoever is persistantly changing it back to Johnathon, could they please stop?

SOMEONE HAS DONE IT AGAIN! And again they have cited the reference to the badly researched article which is incorrect! His name is JOSEPH!

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review_11266 <-- this is an incorrect reference.

Are there any sources that say his name is joseph? 82.35.208.43 11:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am looking for a reference - but I'm struggling. Best I can offer is a screen shot of a message from Spider Webb's mum asking if I could change it back to Joseph. I am one of the moderators on their official forum, I'm not just "assuming" that his name is Joseph, it actually is, but I'll try and get some evidence of some sort (not too sure how though).

Thank you :) Not trying to be difficult but it's best to have a source and we have sources for jonathan. Maybe we should put a note about the dispute?

Actually now I think about it I don't care what it says, lets leave it as joseph (it really doesn't matter :D) and I obviously don't have as much free time as you.....

Vibestation?

There is no mention of this band member on the back of their single for Sheena is a parasite. Also this would be a sixth member and I'm pretty sure there are only 5. I'm deleting it. 195.195.166.31 11:40, 25 September 2006 (UTC) Its Joshua Von Grimm Vibestation ... If you have a look at his name on myspace www.myspace.com/joshgrimm People should never make their own names up ... its silly[reply]

Genre?

Does anyone want to clear up the genre issue? What we have at the moment seems a bit confused. I thought they were goth, but I don't really know. 195.195.166.31 11:40, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I vaguely see them being looped in with goth. Ironically NME is kissing their ass, and they HATE goth bands. They are under deathrock right now, I guess we could keep it under there. They have a somewhat deathrock overtone to them...I think No-Wave might even work...Post-Punk and Garage Punk are just so vague. Justyn1337 17:26, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Surf rock? I can't credit that. I'm changing it. 195.195.166.31 18:45, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The elements that are similar to gothic rock is along the lines of The Damned IMO, likely because of the shared Sutch influence. I wouldn't say deathrock though, maybe elements of psychobilly. - Deathrocker 20:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

josh did not attend City University. He attended University College London, a far superior establishment. He didn't get a First either.

I was going to say that the getting a first thing must be a blag.

Not horror punk. They seem to be trying to me horror punk but failing miserably. too poppy and indie to be horror punk so i will remove it--213.7.48.114 20:25, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

who the fuck is changing the genre? leave it alone69.234.121.87 00:46, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lol are you a genuine fool? In what way are the horrors remotely 'psychobilly'? 82.35.208.43 01:11, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Horror punk again? Let's settle on something. Have we fully decided to rid of Horror punk, psychobilly, or gothabilly? I'm tempted to keep gothabilly in.

gothabilly? maybe yes. i agree horror punk shouldn't be listed but neither should surf rock

They're synth punk. All this goth stuff is silly, they are not goth music-wise.--Josquius 09:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please..LEAVE THE GENRES ALONE!!!69.234.121.87 19:59, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Someone Playing A Prank

I removed "Katherine Von Grimm" from the band members, as I believed it to be some sort of poor joke. However, I instead added Freddie Cowan as a sort of guest, because if I recall, he did fill in for Joshua during a few shows. Also, what is this nonsense about Faris being in a long-term relationship with a woman named Le-anne? I don't believe there is any evidence of this and removed it as well.

The New Picture

I changed the picture to their album cover (Strange House), which has them on it. Considering the picture of them on the cover of NME was pretty blurry, I thought this would be better. I also added a caption. Tell me what you think of this change. If you like this change, adding the band memebers name in the caption would be a good idea also.

Individual Member Pages

Do we need these? Are the musicians notable enough individually to justify these? Zimbardo Cookie Experiment 17:34, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
