The bassist is quite hot.

Took out the Birmingham category reference - Guillemots are definitely a London-based band, and it's quite odd to see them being hailed as from Birmingham all over the internet. Wikipedia does NOT count as fact checking, dear journalists! (Especially you, Guardian folk. For shame!)

How in the world are they "avant-garde"? Fonkey 22:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Demo songs

What should be done about the demo songs previously added to "Discography" session? Personaly I think there souldn't be more than something like "there are some free demo songs their website and P2P networks". List them all isn't necessary, IMO. Anyway, the original article had this:

  • Free demo's and live performances available for download only from the official site and Soulseek.
  • 1. Through The Window Pain (recorded live for XFM show)
  • 2. Cool Cold Moon (band demo)
  • 3. Sol De Abril (band demo)
  • 4. Sea Out (band demo)
  • 4. The Evil Duck (band demo)
  • 5. A Wine Glass And A Wet Finger
  • 6. Parafuso (band demo)
  • 7. If The World Should End (recorded live for XFM)
  • 8. Over The Mountains.
  • 9. Blue Would Still Be Blue
  • 10. The World Ends
  • 11. Woody Brown River

[edit] Requested move

I believe this article should be moved to the main 'Guillemots' namespace. This band is famous in the United Kingdom, and I believe that it is more likely that someone will be searching for this band than the bird species (which they would, surely, search for with 'Guillemot'). It would also mean that the three articles (bird, band and disambig) would be reduced to two (bird and band - toplink on each page).

I agree with this. I can see no reason that the someone, anyone would search for "2 guillemots" - that's just stupid. I propse this should be moved to Guillemots. --SteelersFan UK06 18:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
I also agree - rst20xx (talk) 22:13, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I've taken the action to move the old disambiguation page away and create a redirect here and will ask Requested Moves to move the page back to the title without "(band)". -- OwlofDoom (talk) 18:16, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
I also added an otheruses4 linking to guillemot so people who do accidentally end up here looking for the bird know where they're going. -- OwlofDoom (talk) 18:19, 16 March 2008 (UTC)


That genre needs to be changed. Fyfe Dangerfield's page calls them "Avant-garde pop" and not "indie rock". Change it to avant-pop or something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.125.179.1 (talk) 18:22, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
