Arrogance

ARROGANCE
 
Arrogance  is a rock band from Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  In the 1970s and early 1980s it was one of the most popular local bands in the state.  The group has released six full length albums in its history and an early non-LP single.  In 1983, the group entered a dormant period; and the members did not perform together again until 2000, when the band reunited for a few select concerts and gigs in the Triangle area in celebration of Arrogance’s 30th anniversary.  The band’s current lineup consists of Rod Abernethy, Don Dixon, Scott Davison, Robert Kirkland, and Marty Stout.   (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
The English Wikipedia now has well over 5 million articles – there are also Wikipedias in nearly 300 other languages, with 10 of those having more than a million articles – and includes something on just about any musician or rock band that you can name. You can give it a try yourself – think of the most obscure band or rock artist that you know about, and chances are that they are in Wikipedia. As an indication of what is there, their category on “Rock music groups from North Carolina”, my home state, includes 19 alternative rock groups, 29 indie rock groups, 6 hardcore punk groups, 28 heavy metal musical groups, and 32 others (a total of 114). I don’t know the great majority of them myself, and only a handful could be considered at all well known among rock music fans, such as the dB’sNantucket, the Connells (they are from Raleigh, and I believe it was their drummer who lived in the same apartment building where our appraisal office was located for many years), Let’s Active, Corrosion of Conformity, Arrogance, and Fetchin Bones.
