 * Keep This band meets the GNG, as evidenced by the following sources—"Hard-luck Hoodoos are not forgotten" from San Francisco Chronicle, "Hoodoo Rhythm Devils" (full text available at ) from The Guinness encyclopedia of popular music, and "Hoodoo Rhythm Devils" from Primo Times. The beginning of the last source is:"The Hoodoo Rhythm Devils play basic, no-frills rock'n'roll better than any Bay Area band since Creedence. Sparked by the R&B-tough vocals of guitarist-keyboardist Joe Crane and ..."This appears to be the beginning of a discussion of the band's history. In addition, there is a May 13, 1978, article in Melody Maker titled "A hoodoo on the Devils" and listed as having the band as a main subject (citation accessed through EBSCOhost's Music Index). The aforementioned sources and the fact that offline sources may be more plentiful—considering the band's inception and heyday was in the 1970s—enable the Hoodoo Rhythm Devils to pass the GNG.

 * Keep. In addition to the above there is also this from the Pittsburg Press, this from the Morning Record and Journal, and a brief mention here describing the band as "celebrated but short-lived". In addition, they released one album on Capitol Records and two on Blue Thumb Records, easily meeting criterion 5 of WP:BAND.--Michig (talk) 10:31, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
