The result was speedy keep. I withdraw this nomination per the information provided by Users Lexein and Michig below, and thanks for demonstrating this band's notability. (Non-administrator closure.) Northamerica1000(talk) 16:11, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

It's unclear if the topic meets Notability (music). Google News archives and Books searches provide passing mentions, (e.g., , , , ) but not finding significant coverage. It doesn't appear that this band has charted, so the topic may also fail WP:BAND. Northamerica1000(talk) 05:08, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - found one full LATimes show review & cited it. Waiting for fulltext. --Lexein (talk) 06:02, 30 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. The band released two albums back in the early 80s, one on MCA Records, and more in recent years. They appeared on television, on M3, Thicke of the Night, and on the CBS sitcom Square Pegs. Their track "Justine" was used in the soundtrack of the film Voyage of the Rock Aliens. Further coverage: Billboard, LA Times, LA Times. Important enough for an article and satisfies at least 2 criteria of WP:BAND. --Michig (talk) 19:37, 30 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Jeez. Now we haveta put this stuff in the article, I guess (hands in pocket, shoegazes).  --Lexein (talk) 16:47, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
