Revision as of 21:02, 8 February 2008

Israeli Hard Rock/Grunge group founded on 11/4/2006 by members Tal Kedmy, Niv Segal (who was later replaced by Ran Gliksberg), Itay Miron and Zach Ben-Michael.

Meaning of band's name:

Mens Rea is a latin term used by law to describe mental statement, with the meaning of guilty mind. The name was chosen as Kedmy, Frontman and Rhythm guitarist, was a law student himself, and had come upon this legal term. Excitedly for him, the other members went for it. The members stuck with this name is spite of complaints about it not being commercial and pronounceable.

Band's moto:

"Stick to Rock n Roll, Whatever comes along", a line from one of the group's songs-Talentless.

Band members are:

Tal Kedmy - Vocals and rhythm guitar

Ran Gliksberg - Lead guitar and backing vocals

Itay Miron - Bass guitar

Zach Ben-Michael - Drums

Releases:

2006-Demo Cd, songs: Abandoned, Naïve, Don't wanna hear you now, Guilty mind

2007-Single: Talentless

Band's work:

A year and a half in the making, Mens Rea has already performed more than 40 times, including an unforgettable show at Bereshit festival, a gig at the Tel Aviv University Student Day and an American tour including shows in New-York and New-Jersey. The band filmed a video clip for Abandoned, directed by Sivan Rinetzky. The band's top song Abandoned was chosen by JMG, Jewish Music Group, for a compilation called "Israel Unleashed", which was released in The States in November of 2007.

Behind the music:

As for now, Kedmy is a law student, Itay is an engineer student, Ran studies sound and Zach is a super at a factory. The members are looking for a label and a manager to produce their 1st album, and to be able to start a musical career.

Notability of Mens Rea - Band

A tag has been placed on Mens Rea - Band requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Misplaced Pages guidelines.

Helpful?

I've been in a band for 5 and a half years and I know that my band is not notable. When I say that your band is non notable, I don't say that the band is not good. I am saying that it does not meet the guidlines for a[REDACTED] page under WP:MUSIC. Until you get signed to a notable label, tour a country, or bring up multiple third party sources, you are non notable. Undeath (talk) 18:32, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

RE

Then do you have PROOF? Where in the states did you go? Where did you play? Did it sell out? What is your label? I'll say it now, touring is still non notable without a label. I toured Germany and didn't get a page of my own because I have no label. No offense, but the ammount of work you do as a band has nothing to do with wikipedia. You must be notable. No notable label = non notable band. My advice - get signed to a label. Undeath (talk) 18:39, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

• Still. No label = non notable. I cannot change the rules, I only enforce them. A few clubs in NYC probably won't be notable either. I said toured a country. Not a state. That means you need to play cross country. Basically, if you played in NYC, California, Florida, and some mid-west state, then you would probably be notable. My new suggestion - play a gig or two in Florida, and a gig or two on the west coast. I'm going to sign off for a moment, so if you add anything to my talk page, I won't get back to it in a while. Also, please sign your name by adding four tildes (~) to the end of your comments. Undeath (talk) 18:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

• • The tilde sign is at the upper left hand corner of the keyboard. If you can prove that you have toured the entire of Israel, then you would have the basis for an article. You will need reviews of your performance from third party sources to confirm this too. Undeath (talk) 21:02, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
