[edit] Notability

I've tagged this article for notability, because it seems to me that this band doesn't meet the notability requirements of Wikipedia. Djdickmutt 17:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

They fit notability per WP:MUSIC: Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country,3 reported in reliable sources.4
Their tour (for Dead Mountain Mouth) dates were listed at Absolutepunk.net, also, seen here: http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=140981. They're doing another US tour this year, too: http://shop.relapse.com/content/news_all.aspx?NewsItemID=440
They have also signed with Relapse Records, a notable independent record label, though maybe that is up for dispute: http://shop.relapse.com/content/news_all.aspx?NewsItemID=438
All facts presented, I think they're notable enough to be on Wikipedia. -- tal 17:24, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
More than anything, Genghis Tron is an influential band with a distinct style. I think all of these reasons are sufficient to remove the tag. Thoughts? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.185.130.48 (talk) 19:02, 12 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Genre?

The person who wrote this article tagged the band with terms such as "metal" and "extreme metal". I'm not extremely educated in the genre, but I'm pretty sure the band is essentially grindcore. I replaced all the words "metal" with "grindcore". Radar123 19:03, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

You would be right, grindcore should definitely be first on the list. 76.121.91.3 (talk) 02:11, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

For some reason I can't seem to post a picture of the band. So far I've uploaded two images (Genghisband.jpg and GENGHISTRON.jpg) but neither seem to work. I encourage someone to find a way to post one of the mentioned files or put up a picture of their own. Radar123 16:44, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
