You know a band is obscure when...
...someone tried to write a Wikipedia entry for them, and it was deleted for "lack of significance."

Case in point: The A's. They had a minor hit in Brazil in 1981 (A Woman's Got The Power) and I went looking for them.

2. Their entry got deleted? Wow.
They were poised to be the next big thing out of Philly after The Hooters, but it never happened. They were even on various nationwide concert broadcasts. I just saw them reunite to open for The Hooters last year.
