Rescue Mission (band)

In 2005, Rescue Mission formed and debuted live in Austin, TX. 2007 saw the release of their first, self-titled album. Performing to enthusiastic crowds, that same year the band toured the US with Bird [Mark Burgess (ex-Chameleons)]. The group continued to perform live regionally and sold out of their debut album and merchandise. The next two years saw Rescue Mission maturing and refining their craft. They decided to focus their sound on the post-punk aesthetic, while incorporating well-crafted pop songs. The five-piece is currently recording their second album (as yet untitled), which is slated for 2011. It is planned to be released in vinyl, cd and digital formats. New merchandise and web-design is being developed to coincide with the album launch. The band is also arranging and playing shows in support of this upcoming release. Most recently, they have performed with the legendary Swans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chadtheprole (talk • contribs) 00:48, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Is there a question? This is the reference desk; WP:Your first article is thataway. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:23, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Read Wikipedia:Notability (music) before deciding whether to write the article. Not all bands are deemed worthy of a Wikipedia article: the most important requirement is that they've had significant coverage in the music press (not just blogs or fanzines). If you are a member of the band, their manager, an employee of their record label, etc, also read WP:CONFLICT. --Colapeninsula (talk) 08:55, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm assuming you're giving us a plot description of the movie you'd like to find? If so, would it be possible for you to tell me around what time was it released, and I may be able to find it for you. Rcsprinter (talk) 19:18, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Should we also assume that it's a US movie due to the references to American football? Dismas|^(talk) 19:30, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I've been doing keyword searches at IMDB and I can't find anything matching this. The description sounds like a film very similar to Sleeping with the Enemy (woman with abusive husband runs away, starts new life, he tracks her down). That's not it, but looking for similar films may give you some leads. --Jayron32 19:42, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

UK TV documentary about the mafia

A few days ago on UK TV I watched a documentary about the mafia. It might have been Channel 4 or BBC 4 for example. It was filmed in Naples Italy, although there were also comments by an ex-mobster who had written a book. Does anyone know the name of the ex-mobster? I'm not sure if he was Italian or American. 92.24.138.86 (talk) 20:24, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

This one? or maybe this? What about this? Alansplodge (talk) 22:28, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

It must have been the middle one, although it dosnt give the name of the ex-mobster. 92.24.138.86 (talk) 23:26, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
