An Introduction, Of Sorts, To The Peer Group

The Peer Group was a Boston band that existed from 1996 until early 2001, releasing only one song on a compilation despite several recording sessions proper. Best known as the last band that Peter Prescott was in before the Mission of Burma "Inexplicable" reunion (still going as of 2006), I participated in the group from its inception in 1996 until I quit in 1998. Yes, I did snap the tuning head off of my Electra Rickenbacher 4001 copy bass, but no it was not 100% intentional (though I do believe fate played its heavy hand that night).

What follows here is (was) The Peer Group's entry on Wikipedia, that online resource that can be both wonderful and frustrating, since anyone but anyone can write anything but anything on anything at all whatsoever. There is a gang of marauding members who patrol the site looking for lost clues, blown facts, and subjects they deem unworthy. On the morning of july 29, 2006, they deemed the Peer Group entry as "unworthy" and ripe for deletion because:

"Seems to fail WP:BAND. The article admits they only ever released one song. Quite happy to be corrected on this though. -Viridae"

and

"Delete. Horribly fails WP:BAND (look at their "Gigography"). -Coredesat"

Fine and so be it. What I thought was an endless melting pot of resources is just like any other exclusive club patrolled by former D&D players and small dicked motherfuckers. Forgive me, but, since the band never had a "hit", they have somehow deemed The Peer Group as not worth keeping. Read the rules for bands, becuase it's there. Ah well...

Anyhow, please enjoy. I plan on updating the site as more facts, flyers, photois, and info come in from my archives (located and sorted), as well as those of former members Jim Siegel, Rich Wentworth, and Patrick Lynch. If you have anything you'd like to add or contribute, please, feel free to contact me. I don't bite (promise).

Cheers-
