One of the several stories the band has told as to the origin of their name is that they formed to provide the soundtrack for the unreleased and little known John Carpenter film Stealth Bomber starring Kurt Russell. The film was set over '65 Days of Static' a period of time after some unknown global breakdown in communications and infrastructure, from which 65daysofstatic took their name.
I have managed to find no reference to this film anywhere, does it exist? Munken 17:45, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
As far as I'm aware, no, hence why I changed the article from
The band was originally formed in 2001 as a three-piece, consisting of Joe-Fro, Paul Wolinski, and Iain Armstrong (bass guitar) to provide the soundtrack for the unreleased, little known and possibly fictional John Carpenter film Stealth Bomber starring Kurt Russell. The film was set over '65 Days of Static' a period of time after some unknown global breakdown in communications and infrastructure, from which 65daysofstatic took their name.
to it's present wording. I would like to remove it entirely, but the band have stated that this is why they formed. Whether or not they're telling the truth is another matter. NilRats 14:51, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
I think it's obvious that this film doesn't exist. However, I don't know what to do with the section. It can't stay the way it is, but as NilRats said, it's their origin, and it's a pretty good one. I considered making a seperate page for it. ~ --Resister 19:20, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
I saw recently that this article referenced a band called saving:mitsuko which Gareth Hughes formed after leaving 65daysofstatic, however this reference has since been removed. Just wondered what the reason was for removing it as this band seem to be no more or less notable than Actionier, who remain in the article. Richard 213.121.244.100 08:29, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
I'd keep the part about the film in there, regardless of it no doubt being fictional. It's the reason the band has given, and so should be included in its current wording. The Hurball Company
- Saving:Mitsuko have split up, Gareth is in a band called Flatlands now. Next time I see him I'll ask him where the name came from. Vicissitudo (talk) 10:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
