- @Onegreatjoke: I'd happily replace them if I could think of any others. DYK is not my forte. I thought the first one was pretty good with the added context, so I'm surprised, but I'll try to comb through and see if I find any others that stick out enough to me. Most of the material in here seems like pretty routine band encyclopedia history. I'd initially think to pull something from musical style, because they are pretty unique in that regard, but I don't know how I'd present it to make it look that way in the brevity that DYK asks for. dannymusiceditor oops 02:09, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: Added one additional hook. I hope this is better, the article is a little tough to make a DYK hook for... dannymusiceditor oops 17:57, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
Honestly, these three hooks could work but it would really depend on the promoter. Onegreatjoke (talk) 23:53, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
