Found a handful of appearances in SLUG Magazine ( [1] [2] [3] [4]) but nothing else of much use. It is my understanding that even with this much coverage, the fact that it all comes from one source means it doesn't count as multiple sources. Or something like that. Regardless, I see no other signs of notability that aren't themselves unsourced.

• Delete: Just not enough coverage for an article; the musical group is discussed here [5], but that's not enough for notability. Oaktree b ( talk) 01:55, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  Some mention in Billboard from the link above for Gbooks [6], and NJ.com [7]... Are we at BASIC with many trivial mentions? Oaktree b ( talk) 02:02, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  NJ.com is good, the other is too brief. Still bare minimum at best. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 04:19, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply

• Redirect to Bob Bert, I guess, unless someone wants to add stuff. PQ shows 89 results (for me), but most appear to be concert listings and mentions of the band touring with Mudhoney, Jon Spencer, etc. There appear to be a few longer things--Billboard, Melody Maker, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and Toronto Star, among others, but I can't read full text for everything. Newspapers.com and Newsbank (which WP doesn't subscribe to) often pick up the non-PQ stuff for '90s newspapers. Caro7200 ( talk) 14:19, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Keep as there seems to be enough coverage for WP:GNG with Slug magazine, the sources named by Caro7200, the NJ.com and I also found a staff written bio at AllMusic here where there are also five staff written album reviews linked in the discography section, imv Atlantic306 ( talk) 22:26, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Ooh, there's something. Dunno how I missed the AllMusic page, but that should be plenty. I'm willing to withdraw for that. Thanks. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 22:28, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Caro7200, @ Oaktree b, the nom wants to withdraw. Does Atlantic306's source change your minds? -- asilvering ( talk) 22:08, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

yes, it's better now that we've uncovered those Oaktree b ( talk) 22:38, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
