Talk:Havalina

Notability
Why is this band notable? Virtually everything I found about them on Google seems to be self-promotion. They have had a few interviews but nothing seems particularly notable. Have they had any hit singles or albums? Are any of their members now in important groups? Although Google yields a lot of hits for Havalina, most of them seem related to other things such as the song by the Pixies. RickReinckens 20:34, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

The band was considered relatively popular in Christian rock--their shows at the Cornerstone Festival were always very well-attended, for example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.48.123.60 (talk • contribs)

notability guidlines wise they have or have had at least two realeases on tooth and nail(Part of a major record label). The artical mentions Space, Love, & Bullfighting and America both released on Tooth and Nail. Also Tooth and Nail distributes The Diamond In The Fish. this should be technically enough for this to not be deleted. for proof of this look up Havalina on Amazon.com. Main reason for confusion is some releases were under Havalina and others were under Havalina Rail Co. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.82.92.230 (talk • contribs)


 * Just added a few references to show international interest in the band (Canada, UK). Having albums on Tooth and Nail also virtually guarantees international distribution. There should be more reviews and profiles around to improve the 3rd-party referencing, and therefore notability.
 * P.S.: replies to talk pages need to be signed, even for anon edits (WP:SIG). Dl2000 03:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Band lineup
Seeing as Havalina's lineup tended to change with nearly every album, it might be best to put a big list with every member, ever, on this page, and then for each album page also list the band's lineup on that particular album (as well as guest musicians).

What's the source for saying Tatiana Simonian played Farfisa and sang on the first album? I have a copy of Havalina Rail Co. (album), and its liner notes don't list Tatiana as a band member or a guest musician. And I can't hear any farfisa on the album itself, for that matter.Metaphoragizery (talk) 18:57, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

I removed the unnecessary link to brookerlabs.com that was attached to Daniel J Brooker's name in the band lineup section. The link seemed out of place, and was never substantiated that it was pointing to the website of the Daniel Brooker in question. --NoodleGuy1 (talk) 21:21, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Post-rock? Animal Collective?
Their sound bares no resemblance to post-rock, Animal Collective, and Arcade Fire, and did certainly not influence the two. I'm deleting that line. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.187.171 (talk) 05:01, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Springsteen
I removed the reference to Springsteen's new song/album because this is the wrong band with "Havalina" in the name. These folks have nothing to do with the song "High Hopes." 173.219.185.130 (talk) 21:53, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
