- Delete I've seen Eighth Wave (the article, not the band...) And can't see them as being anything much of note. (When one of a band quits to re-join the army, I wouldn't take as a good sign...) And, while I wish Simon James luck, I don't think he's ready for an article. No non-local coverage (one link of which only gives me a blank page), and otherwise only myspace (non-reliable) and an advert from which to download his music. Sharing a stage with doesn't necessarily confer notability, and the 20,000 crowds count to the credit of the topline performer(s), not the support. (Except in very rare cases where the topline make a bad mistake and take someone better than themselves on tour... No evidence of that here. Not saying he isn't good - never seen him nor Ronan Keating either.)
