Fails notability under WP:BAND, has not "been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable." Avi 14:39, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. Official site shows a number of reviews for albums and live shows, as well as a ton of international touring.  --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
