Horsehead (band)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A band that existed for nine years, but they don't appear to have done anything other than releasing music — I don't see any evidence that they pass WP:BAND. Nyttend (talk) 12:23, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep They've done more than just record, they toured a lot and played with many other notable acts such as Metallica (Sunday Mail, 29 March 1998, "SAD to the bone") Live (The West Australian, 8 May 1997, "Devotion Goes Live" by Ara Jansen) The Screaming Jets and The Angels (Illawarra Mercury, 27 November 1997, "Angels Fans Prepare For The Shock" by Julee Brienen) Alice Cooper and Hoodoo Gurus (McFarlane) and Local H, The Superjesus, Frenzal Rhomb, Primary (Newcastle Herald, 1 October 1998, "Finger-Lickin' Good" by Chad Watson). But more importantly, two albums thru Mushroom, Horsehead and Onism, and for significant coverage there is an entry in McFarlane, Ian (1999). Encyclopedia of Australian Rock and Pop. Allen & Unwin. ISBN 1-86448-768-2.; a 596 word article in Sydney Morning Herald, 10 December 1993, "Equine Tales" by Clayton Doughty; cd reviews in Newcastle Herald by Chad Watson, "Ramones" 15 July 1999 and "She Fell To Earth" 18 March 1999. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:43, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, meets criteria #6 (through having members associated with Uncanny X-Men (band) and Scott Kingman now plays with The Screaming Jets), and arguably #5 (via their albums coming out on Mushroom Records) of WP:MUSIC. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 02:56, 22 May 2010 (UTC).[reply]
Keep Satisfies WP:MUSIC. Orderinchaos 04:52, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and clean up Per Lankiveil this band passes WP:MUSIC, but it really really needs sources. Yilloslime ^T_C 05:16, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
