Talk:The Golden Dogs

dave azzolini married jesica grassia and she used to be a music teacher at my school.

-- this is an amazing band which EVERYONE should listen to, jessica grassia is also my cousin

I am listening to both of the golden dogs cd's right now "Everything In Three Parts" and "Big Eye Little Eye" and i am having one of the best times of my life. They are legitamate and do not deserve to be deleted from wikipedia. Basic research will disprove any misleading evidence of the bands credibitly. They are a revolutionary band and deserve way more than the underwhelming recognition you are delivering (you being wikipedia), just you wait.

Notability Thoughts
While they might actually be notable enough based on several record releases, they need some third party sources (i.e., newspaper or magazine reviews of shows, or albums; chart positions for some of the recordings, etc) to indicate it. --Rocksanddirt 19:01, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure this isn't an issue any more but I'll just throw this in here: They are notable enough, simply based on the fact that they were signed to True North. Also, they've received significant coverage in the press. See: Notability (music) - tSR - Nth Man (talk) 20:09, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Some notability Research
From CMJ.com "Canadian indie-popsters the Golden Dogs are set to embark on their first US tour, opening for Electric Six and the Willowz. The Toronto fivesome—composed in part by husband and wife duo Dave Azzolini and Jessica Grassia—are playing in support of their latest album, Big Eye Little Eye (Yep Roc). After being released in Canada last year, the record will finally see the light of day stateside August 21. Here's hoping the band's East Coast trek runs a little smoother than their drive to a November 2006 gig in Vancouver, in which their van careened downhill and nearly edged off a cliff. Yikes!

...

Biased opening line in History section?
Personal feelings aside, I think that the opening paragraph of the History section sounds like it was written by the band's manager... it's far too biased, in my opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sammysunset (talk • contribs) 16:17, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
