Emergency Exit (band)

Non-notable band. Apparently a high school band based in high school. Here is their history as recorded on their website:

Late in the year 2000, guitarist Joe Bitton and drummer Ben Roberts, Had the idea at the end of their 5th grade year to start a rock band. Although they didn't know how to do this, they had the ambition of an adult. Late in the year of 2001, Joe got his first guitar, and cherished it for months later. The first time he played it, he strummed every string and created a disastrous sound. Ben and Joe soon realized that even with Joe's ability to play the James Bond theme, there was something missing. Early 2002 singer Raffi Sweet joined the band and Bassist Andy Hughes joined as a band manager. Andy manly sat in the corner and said stuff like, "awesome" or laughed. After the band bombed their first gig at a party, they realized that their was still something missing from them. To solve this, Andy became a bassist. One year later the band got their first good gig, which was a party in the back of Joe's house with a crowd of maybe 40 people. Although they later would be playing for crowds of 500 people, they still look back at this as their best gig.Soon after, Emergency Exit went to Working Man Studios to put together a few tracks for a demo. They then gave the demo away in school, and people loved it. But as time went on they realized how amateur it was.A few months later, the band known as Blackstone, organized a concert called Stone-Fest. The concert was a great night with about a 100 person crowd. The band played for 4 hours and put on an amazing show.Within the years later various gigs were taken and turned down until 2004.

Urge that this be deleted as non-notable. -SocratesJedi | Talk 05:07, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Not notable. Apparently there was another band by this name in the 1960s. See this. JoaoRicardo 05:34, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Delete all non-notable vanity articles. Jayjg ^(talk) 19:32, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Please do not delete. Quoted from the deletion page, "Articles about start-up businesses or musicians are not vanity pages and are considered acceptable, but it's preferable that the initial author not be someone affiliated with the project." I posted this, and I am not affiliated with the band at all. I feel that this page deserves to be here.

Delete, but read on. Sorry, but this band isn't notable enough for inclusion, no one is likely to research it beyond your immediate circle of friends and the article is totally unencyclopedic. I'm not trying to be mean, so please don't take offense. Here's a great way to not only keep it but to give it more exposure: Consider moving the info to a new user page. As you contribute more, the info on the band will be more likely to be seen by those wishing to contact you. - Lucky 6.9 22:11, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
