hi - dumb question but - how can we capitalize the "g" in Gomers  ?

Moved the page - done. RJASE1 Talk 04:53, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks RJASE1;

In an effort to bump up verifiability and notability, I added another non-trivial reference - The Greenman Review [1] article citing Biff's activity with Siggi and the internationally-released Omnium recording of Reptile Palace Orchestra's We Know You Know

The (internationally renowned) Greenman review is on par with (national reviews in) CMJ Music Journal, Ink 19 and similar industry reviewing books/magazines and will hopefully not be seen as trivial.

added another 2 verifiable sources showing Biff's discography, documenting appearances and work on albums beyond the scope of the Gomers article. The Jen Gereb[1] album for Autistic & Sensory-challenged children Cool Bananas also featured Gomers Steve, Dave and Gordon (billed as "And Friends") and was released in the USA, Australia and internationally. Gereb released 4 albums total (Jumpin Jellybeans, Say G'Day and No Worries)[2] that the Gomers recorded with her (documented several times in the article), again showing verifiable sourcing and international notability.

- added Westwood One link, the largest radio company in the world, to the Dr. Demento playlist references. Hopefully this will show the non-trivial and verifiable nature of these playlists, as the Dr. Demento show is syndicated and distributed throughout the USA, USVI and other international markets, like Jamaica, via Westwood One's massive radio network.

added newfound non-trivial, verifiable and reliable evidence showing Dave Adler as keyboardist Bobby Ricotta with Richard Cheese, to whit:

Dave Adler, The Gomers' music director, was pianist/keyboardist Bobby Ricotta for Richard Cheese on Lounge Against the Machine's first 2 releases Lounge Against the Machine and Tuxicity[3],[4]

added the Subgenius connection - Rev. Ivan Stang from the Church of the Subgenius collaberated with The Gomers on his 1999 release, Live at Starwood from the Starwood Festival on the song Pain Stain 2K. [5], [6], [7] The band has also appeared on the Hour Of Slack several times.[8], [9], [10]

hopefully the article is more encyclopaedic now...
