Notability issue noted in 2008 but not followed up on. Of the three musical groups listed, "Blood Lake" does not have an article here (the link is to a movie of the same name); I think Crash Worship has notability issues of its own, and while Extra Action Marching Band appears to be notable, it is also a large-membership-group that doesn't, in my opinion, automatically confer notability on all of its members. Of course, this is not an area of my expertise. Delete, but I can be persuaded otherwise. --Nlu (talk) 19:56, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

- Keep. While we have articles on two of his bands the article as is seems the most appropriate landing point for our readers should they search for him. There are several sources that could be used to improve the article, e.g. SF Weekly, Simon T. Jones' book The Tribes of Burning Man, San Francisco Bay Guardian, SPIN, David Keenan's book England's Hidden Reverse, and Eric Davis's book Nomad Codes: Adventures in Modern Esoterica, which confirm details of the bands he has been in and also his work as an artist. --Michig (talk) 22:17, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
- Keep, appears to be a member of various notable musical groups, and coverage provided by User:Michig above indicates that they are likely to meet criteria #1 of WP:MUSIC. Lankiveil (speak to me) 05:51, 5 January 2014 (UTC).
