Well, I'll take it off speedy deletion and let the AFD run. Punkmorten 08:37, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep (from page creator): They are an important band, founders of the Los Angeles Free Music Society and have recently regained notability through collaborations with Wolf Eyes, who are very well known for a noise band, making it onto many "best of" lists last year. They were already referenced from various pages (Los Angeles Free Music Society, Nurse with Wound list and Wolf Eyes) before I created the page, and I was surprised that the band didn't have a page already. A fairly recent Pitchfork review also helps explain a bit why they're important, the influence they've had, etc. Feelthenoise 12:31, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep while this band never broke into the mainstream (probably due to that media-unusable name), they were very influential on the 70s & 80s punk & early techno scene. Hobby horse time again - this is yet another article that was AfD'd one minute after creation. -  irides centi   (talk to me!)  15:52, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment They may have been mainstream, but without any sources, that remains unverified. I'll abstain for now, but I want to see sources before I vote to keep. I'm too young to know if this band was legitimate or not. -- Cy ru s      An dir on   17:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep: Notable enough to have a listing at All Music Guide: Katr67 04:59, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per above arguments --Closedmouth 08:02, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep notability and verifiability established in The Wire and Pitchfork, at the very least. heqs 11:12, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
