Non-notable band fails Wikipedia WP:MUSIC criteria. The Real Libs- speak politely 15:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC) reply
Hi, noob contributor here, please help!
Can someone please explain why they are "non-notable" when they've got 2 studio albums, an EP and a live album available in the shops, and are at the cutting edge of a relatively new genre of music, (i.e. math-rock)?
Thanks in advance, Phil. Musophil ( talk) 17:54, 23 June 2009 (UTC) reply
A quick Google search for "LITE math-rock" gave me 74000 hits, most of which seemed to be referring to this band.
Their LastFM page shows over 300,000 plays and over 15,000 subscribed listeners... http://www.last.fm/music/LITE
This page on DontPanicOnline details a show they're playing in England, mentions their well-received recent album and also mentions their appearance at the Fuji Rock Festival... http://www.dontpaniconline.com/thunderbox/thewall/topic/?id=625
Here's their artist page on their record label... http://www.transductionrecords.com/main/artists/lite/
Here's a review of a new live album of theirs, Live In New York http://www.shortwaverockin.com/?p=248
^^notice the number of different countries this band has played in... native to Tokyo, Japan, they've toured Ireland, the UK, and the USA tour was supporting Mike Watt from the stuff I've found so far. Another reference to the Mike Watt tour is on the Mike Watt wiki page, I notice.
Incidentally, their record label, Transduction Records is the label Mike Watt's band are on - notable act on same label - isn't that another of the criteria?
Anyway, moving on...
GodIsInTheTVzine features the following reference to their continuing third UK tour: "re: LITE 2008 tour LITE's performance at The Ram & Shackle last night was pretty impressive. They still have a few UK dates left - Birmingham. Brighton, Leeds and London and you can buy their album off them for a tenner.Good value." http://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/users/public_profile.php?userid=5357
Here's a review of their EP, on TheLineOfBestFit.com... http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/2007/03/lite-filmlets/

OK... in addition to the many references from 3rd party publications shown above, what about an appearance on French TV...?
