[edit] Velveteens

They don't seem to be/have been notable, even an another group with the same name has released 2 albums and is in AMG [1] feydey 23:42, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Well, I don't see why they can't be included. They released two albums (info added to page), played shows as far away from W&M as at least DC. Would it be a fair compromise if I made a page for the other band?

Matter of fact, I'm trying to figure out if that second album (Art of Compromise) was infact the W&M Velveteens or the OH Velveteens. Please don't delete until I've gotten to the bottom of this. Rbeas 24 July 2005

OK PROOF. Art of Compromise was the W&M Group, not the OH group: I followed the above link to the OH group, and found that the AoC album was attributed to them. Read the OH bio here: http://music.channel.aol.com/artist/main.adp?tab=bio&artistid=199715 Now, read the W&M bio here: http://www.scp.org/e-mail/2000/No_024.html

Now, read the album credits on the AoC album here: http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,1132306,00.html

The credits go to members of the W&M band, NOT the OH band. I have also listened to previews of each song at the AllMusic site, and the style matches the Viva album (which I own). Definitely not the "acoustic pop" of the OH group. A further article on the W&M Group: http://www.fcnp.com/issues/0/028/story04.htm Rbeas 24 July 2005

• Delete — From what I've read of them, they just appear to be a minor backup band who never had a hit song and played ska: something of a minor musical trend related to reggae. While I enjoy reggae, this band just doesn't appear notable. — RJH 16:26, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep — I think that they were a well-known group in their area (tri-state / capital / Williamsburg / etc.) in their time. — --Rbeas 00:29, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
