Talk:Wolf Parade

Need citation for "indefinite hiatus" comment in first paragraph

The article says the band is on indefinite hiatus as of May 31, 2011. But the citation that was given references an article from 2010. That doesn't make sense. Changed it to a "citation needed". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vegashacker (talk • contribs) 18:12, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Not descriptive

Sorry, but this article gives me little idea what style of music the band play. I know what 'alternative' meant in the late 80's and early 90's, but it certainly didn't involve drum machines and analog synths. I realise any attempt to describe the groups' style/sound is subjective and open to dispute, but could you try? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Braka (talk • contribs) 21:33, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I am sorry, but is this band from Montreal or from Vancouver? I understand members can be from wherever, but where is the BAND from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.185.52 (talk) 04:21, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

The band was formed in Montreal in 2003. Argolin (talk) 06:40, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Assorted

Wolf Parade is sweet! If I missed it in the external links please forgive me but what is the source for Wolf Parade being likened to Arcade Fire and Clap Your hands....? I'm only asking becasue I listen to the Arcade Fire and I like them, but I don't really think their sound is that similar to Wolf Parade. Wolf Parade is very synthy, uses more time signatures (3/4, 6/4) and the vocals aren't quite as harmonic as Arcade Fire. Many indie bands often get lumped together for non-musical reasons (location, label, time of first breakout success, non-musical aesthetic i.e. 'indie' approach to music) and this kinda irks me, but if you have a source for this, I guess that's what matters. Could you please cite it here in the talk page? Thanks--Hraefen 19:36, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

• I didn't add the AF reference, but I think it's half-right. I don't know. I think 'dinner bells' sounds Arcade Fire-ish, and 'Laika' could be Wolf Parade. And they both have similar quirky-voiced vocalists, and the production style is pretty similar, in my opinion. The whole location/aesthetic part is totaly true, but compared to, like, Linkin Park or Audioslave or something they sound kinda the same.

I created a page for the Wolf Parade (E.P.) and i wasn't sure if this is the EXACT name of that album. If anyone knows differently, feel free to retitle and move that page. I would also like to suggest that any discussion of the two songs ('Shine a Light' and 'You Are a Runner And I Am My Father's Son') which are on both albums (and any difference/similarities between the two) should go on the later of the two, Apologies to the Queen Mary.--Hraefen 20:34, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Could someone post a pic of them. I'd do it myslef but I'm not sure how to.

Dan Boeckner should have his own page, I don't think it's fair to just redirect him to Wolf Parade. He's involved in other projects. I made the Spencer Krug page, someone make a Dan one.

• Update - Dan Boeckner page has been created (Fulmerg 23:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC))

Clean-up

I removed the Clean-up tag because I performed major editing on this page to give it more cohesion. For example, there are now citations backing up the biography section and an "Associated Acts" section that removes clutter from the bio. Certain comments pertaining to individual albums have been moved to those album pages.

False information regarding the leave of Dante DeCaro has been removed. Although he may not have appeared in recent press photos, he is still touring with the band.

Sophomore album

I removed the comment because it seemed like a bold claim to make without any citation at all - can we get a reference before we re-add? OkamiItto 06:46, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Ep2 front.jpg

Image:Ep2 front.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Queen Mary incident?

So what happened on the Queen Mary? It should be explained in the article. --Ragemanchoo (talk) 09:48, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Spencer the Guitarist

I know that Spencer Krug can play guitar, but I'm pretty sure he just plays keyboard and occasionally kick drum in Wolf Parade. --Rikkyc (talk) 13:34, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

• Yeah, I don't see that any of the WP albums actually credit Krug with any guitar work. If no one can produce a credit, we should change it.--Hraefen ^Talk 04:50, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Changed it. --Rikkyc (talk) 12:32, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Arlen Thompson

Does Arlen Thompson deserve his own page? It seems like he has a fairly large body of work outside of just Wolf Parade
