Aside from an occasional college newspaper mention, no reliable sources to indicate notability of a musical group. The self-promotion issues can be addressed, but the general notability cannot, as seen by a sample google news search. tedder (talk) 23:43, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per nom. I've cleaned up the blatant publicity copy a bit, but it all seems to consist solely of references to the band's own website. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 00:06, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - nothing so far to indicate notability. The fact that the local paper that tends to cover these groups, Willamette Week, has nothing but event listings for these folks, speaks volumes to their notability, or lack thereof. Aboutmovies (talk) 05:47, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, the Week does mention them in gig listings, and so does the Merc. Gig listings, obviously, aren't an indication of notability. tedder (talk) 05:52, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Lack of reliable source material to use for verification of facts. Accordingly, the band fails to meet the standards of WP:BAND. Steven Walling 18:38, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
