Does not appear to be a notable band; only one release of theirs seemed to have charted, and even then, only in Melbourne. I also could not find enough significant coverage about this band; even the only YouTube video I could find admitted that the band "was not very commercially successful". Given the band's age, it's possible that some coverage might exist offline, and indeed, the same YouTube video hints that the band might have been somewhat influential in the Melbourne music scene of the 1970s.

• Delete. Not convinced that the band are notable enough (as per the nomination). Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 04:42, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, per duffbeerforme. @Narutolovehinata5: according to a quick Trove search, [2], there are four contemporary articles from The Canberra Times (I haven't checked the substance of those entries, I'm busy elsewhere).shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 03:18, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
