Untitled[edit]

This article should be flagged. It does not remain objective, and contains subjective opinion about its subject matter.

Agree. For example, the material on 'Bernice' is just opinion. For this article to rise above the level of 'stub', quotes should be added, with material on the formation, touring history, eclectic makeup, management and label problems, impact as the first 'world music' band, and historical perspective.

Only minor improvement in the past several years, but some is better than none. Adding WPBio and WPRock templates and rating as 'start' class. This band is important not as a top selling act but in terms of influence on other musicians, being years ahead of their time in terms of musical style. Kaleidoscope was arguably the first 'world music' group. Jusdafax 03:09, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

geographic location[edit]

East/west coast? Thanks in advance, --Jerome Potts (talk) 02:02, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Based in L.A., largely performed on the West Coast except for some East Coast appearances. Jusdafax (talk) 11:01, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Photo needed[edit]

This band was also notable for its unique look (to put it mildly), and a photo of the group would improve the article a bunch. If anyone has one, including it with the article would be great. Thanks. Jusdafax 03:15, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Soloman Feldthouse[edit]

I see a death date has been added, but Internet search is not turning up any information. Without a reliable source for this, it has to be reverted. Jus da fax 00:14, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried checking this, and it seems from various Facebook posts here and here that it may have been Solomon Feldthouse's son, also called Sol (on Fairuza Balk's page, her brother "Solbaby") who died in July (death announced on 24 July). Certainly nothing seems to have been reported elsewhere about Solomon Feldthouse of Kaleidoscope's death. If anyone knows differently, please let us know. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:32, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's what it appears like to me, pretty clearly. Thanks for the FB links, Ghmyrtle. Jus da fax 09:03, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Live show dates[edit]

Is there a reason that the list of live shows is not in order by date? Paulehoffman (talk) 18:14, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the table per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. If particular shows stand out, with commentary from the media, we can describe them for the reader. Binksternet (talk) 19:09, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
