 * Comment. Here's what I found: An article from the Sun Runner, a review in Option, three articles in the Desert Sun, and an IMDB listing that indicates that three of the band's tracks were used on the soundtrack of the film Shoot the Hero. Not a major film, and the coverage is mainly local and insubstantial, so for now I'm going with delete, but may reconsider if other editors can add to these sources. --Michig (talk) 07:28, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

"Dali's Llama are pioneers and important members of the trailblazers that fortified the "Desert Sound" (aka Desert Rock/Stoner Rock) that ultimately generated rock monsters like Queens of the Stoneage's Josh Homme and Kyuss' John Garcia. Anyone who would argue that, would be confronted by piles of evidence that have been part of documentaries published by many. Their MO is "Independent".  They've been saying F...YOU' to corporate music since before being part of an 'Indie' label was cool.  They live the principles of DIY to this day with their music supporting independent film makers such as Christian Sesma.  To consider such contributions as invalid or unimportant, is more a reflection of a lack of knowledge and research in a music scene that has affected millions, perhaps even more widely accepted in Europe than their home town." - Lisa Morgan, CV Weekly (see article links below)

I would dispute the "No indication of Notability" argument. As indicated by Lisa Morgan's submission Dali's Llama were key players in the development of the Desert Rock scene and remain stalwarts to this day, and whilst they may not have had the commercial success of others that does not detract from their importance to the scene. It's notable that a number of their more recent albums have been produced by Scott Reeder (from the seminal Kyuss) which is a clear indication of their standing on the scene. They also have a wider following outside of their home area, as a UK resident and fan I have their entire album collection and know of other fans in the UK, Belgium, Germany and Poland. The bands standing warrants an inclusion on LastFM http://www.last.fm/music/Dali's+Llama?ac= dali's llama (with over 1,200 listeners) As for the film Shoot The Hero this was more than a local film as suggested above, it is widely available and in the UK I was easily able to obtain and watch a copy via the Love Film service (now part of Amazon) - Rich Warne AKA MotorMoby — Preceding unsigned comment added by MotorMoby (talk • contribs) 12:30, 30 March 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Dali's Llama are certainly a notable band on the Desert scene as they are listed as a notable band on this Wiki article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Desert_Scene. They are also referred to in this article on the origins of the desert scene http://coachellavalleyweekly.com/lo-sound-desert-a-silver-screen-rock-doc-on-the-desert-scene/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by MotorMoby (talk • contribs) 17:55, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Further supporting articles "Zach Huskey has been an integral player on the desert rock scene since the days of the generator parties in the late 1980s and early '90s" http://www.desertsun.com/story/life/entertainment/music/2014/06/30/zach-huskey-hick-ups-dunebilly/11817963/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by MotorMoby (talk • contribs) 13:44, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Dali's Llama are listed on BBC music website - surely this shows they are notable enough to have a Wiki listing http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/8584d357-a44c-4a86-a60e-7b8d2aec60b8
