Palm Springs (band)
On the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28music%29 Wikipedia says, that - in a nutshell - notability means the following:
 * A musician or ensemble is notable if it has had some sort of recognition by professional organizations, such as music charts.
 * Notability is met if the musician has been the subject of a broadcast by a media network.

I believe the band Palm Springs is notable in the Wikipedia sense of the word for the following reasons:

Print Media coverage
So far all of their releases have been covered in articles / reviews in the German Rolling Stone magazine (it says on the site that the online archive isn't complete yet and the search function may be a bit buggy at the moment, so not every review is found atm): http://www.rollingstone.de/archiv/index2.php?action=search&valid=true&id=1&search_select=index&search.string=Palm+Springs&search_dest=index&search.submit=Suchen however the following entries are found:
