I know fuck all about the giraffes, and in fact don'nt even live in the US, but, is this article correct? it seems slightly....how do you say? Improbable. Child pornography addicts?

Yeah, this article, aside from the album listing and getting the names of the band members correct is a bunch of gibberish Tentonbricks 05:28, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it's all true. I never heard about the dispute with their manager, but I dont see any reason to doubt its accuracy.

They are friends of mine, and as bizarre as it sounds, this is an accurate profile. (To the first commenter...I didn't see anything aout child porn...was that deleted? They are not pedophiles!) -hd

Razor & Tie is an independent label of repute, not a vanity label. That the band was once signed to them is a minor point towards notability, but should be weighed against the strong lack of NPV in this as it stands. --Pagana 23:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take your word on that. It's hard to dispute. I did edit the article to take away the "in the post-9/11 world when..." because it didn't appear to conform to NPV. Tentonbricks 03:26, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It /is/ all true, minus the deleted balderdash about kiddie porn and 9/11 and such. I also know them all personally, and I'm sure Damien would be happy to show you the entry wound (the bullet could not be removed). That little episode is in fact the inspiration for their song BLCKNTWHTCSTL (Black Knight, White Castle). 69.169.102.9 08:31, 16 September 2006 (UTC) ac[reply]
