Talk:Poem Rocket

Can someone please verify some of the following things:

• date band formed/ origin of name,
• date Peters & Gardner married,
• some of the band's tourmates/ concert venues played at,
• date Cooke joined the band.

Also, photos (at least one of the band & one of an album or EP cover) would be incredibly nice. Photos of the band seem very scarce, at least online. Some captures from their music videos would also do, to illustrate the band's aesthetic vision.

I didn't buy any of the band's music until 2003 (though I did read about them starting in '96), so any old-school fans/acquaintances of the band are encouraged to help out here. One of my biggest musical regrets in life is reading a glowing review of Infinite Retry in early '98 in Magnet &/or Alternative Press, which compared them to all my favorite Sonic Youth-y bands, yet not going out and buying the album... likely because I was heavily immersed in a post-rock/ space rock phase @ the time...

What's up with the non-standard section headings? They should be changed to standard heading titles rather than the 'clever' usage of song titles like a music magazine article.

Yes, the section headings are precious and pretentious and annoying, and even more so are the snotty allegations of "plagiarism" and "violation of intellectual property rights" in the mention of a U.K. band with the same name, considering that the original (if they are the original) U.S. band lifted its own name from the title of a poem by Allen Ginsberg.
