They were rejected by about every team that could possibly accept them.

It appears their rejection has been total and decisive. Ah well.

I've been a fan for 20 years, and I think they're about the most technically gifted musicians you're likely to find in a punk environment.  But at the end of the day, they're more of a punk band with occasional prog inclinations, and thus don't seem to fit here.  I'm cool with that.

It's been about 10 years since their last album... are they done?  I know they're pushing 60 by now.

There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

you really need to listen to their album 'wrong' :
 
which is pure jazz-punk, or pazz-junk like they like to call their music.

these bands meet clearly the criteria for a prog rock website, but we come back to my previous observation : post-punk is the missing post-something in PA's subgenres. But it seems that progsters have a problem with the word "punk"...

yes, exactly my point : Mars, DNA, rip rig & panic, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, James Chance and the Contortions. That was the real "prog rock" of the early eighties.

Minutemen should be considered for addition as well if Nomeansno fits the bill. And they played this stuff before NMN.
