I moved the Unwound/Hovercraft tour from '97 to '96.  I know the U.S. tour with Caustic Resin was in mid-'97 (b/c I missed it and regretted it daily until I finally saw Hovercraft in late '98 w/ IQU).  I bought a Hov./Unwound tour shirt (w/ both band names on it) from a guy in Germany years ago, as well as a live tape he made of it (only of Unwound, though).  I am 98% sure it was from '96, but i will try to dig both up to make sure.

As for the article, I feel it demystifies the band a bit too much, by revealing the true identities of its code-named band members.... But I guess that's what Wikipedia is all bout: providing info.  Also, I feel it reads too much like a tour chronology, but I suppose that is to be expected of a band that toured as much as Hovercraft did.

I forgot the name of the other Hov. fanzine.  If anyone else knows, please add it.

The Hype! footage of the band cannot possibly be from '96, seeing as the film first debuted in January '96, so I changed the pic caption date back to '95.
