[edit] Slum
Otara is far from a slum. Poor - yes, a slum - no.
[edit] Gang
I removed "OMC is also said to stand for Otara Motorcycle Club, a gang." If it can be substantiated that the band's name is a reference to such a motorcycle club, pls reinstate it. Nurg 01:58, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Bankruptcy
I removed "In 2004 Fuemana declared himself bankrupt.", which though possible, is unsubstantiated, and I was unable to find anything to that effect after a cursory search... TheWama 6:56, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
There is now a more recent reference to a June, 2006 bankruptcy - See http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/story.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10387024 Gsland 16:13, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Prison?
I remember that during the VH1 100 Greatest One-hit Wonders special, it was said the members of OMC were in a gang and prison in NZ before hitting it big. Can anyone confirm this? - Thanks, Hoshie 19:32, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sales
Excuse me, nubs, the figure is still unheard of, he has still outsold any existing NZ act. Please to not be changing 2005->1995. Kay thanks. Bye.
[edit] Moved from Otara Millionaires Club to OMC (band)
While OMC stands for Otara Millionaires Club, OMC is by far the more commonly known name of the band worldwide. -- Samir धर्म 10:06, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Album dates
It looks like the discography is listeing the date of when the single "How Bizarre" was released. The ALBUM was released Feb 25, 1997. I'll just update that... Ajisukitakahikon 21:04, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pauly Fuemana
Looking at the video of OMC's latest song, Fuemana looks very different from when he appeared on the "How Bizarre" video. Anyone got any info on Fuemana between '97 and '07? (which may also answer some of the topics mentioned in the discussion) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.150.114.71 (talk) 12:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC).
There was a story on TV2's 20/20 program on 27/2/2007 interviewing Pauly and talking about how the band broke up and he went bankrupt. Not to mention his life before fame with OMC.
[edit] Bankruptcy
Here[2] is a 2006 article on Fuemana's bankruptcy. Probably should be included in the article somehow. Ultraviolet 03:50, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Interesting 2007 interview with Alan Johnson and Pauly on Radio NZ, see http://www.radionz.co.nz/__data/assets/audio_item/0005/846833/nrmtalk-20070323-1700-OMC-wmbr.asx Gsland 16:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Was in the US LONG before 1997...
I'm from Australia, but I lived in the US until mid-1996, and I definitely heard this song over there.Davez621 (talk) 17:49, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
