Everything else we checked
- Live shows 2 shows listed at 2 venues. A generated act does not book venues and play them.
- Back catalogue Releases go back to 1998, before generative music tools were usable.
- MusicBrainz Catalogued on MusicBrainz, active since 1992, NO, group. See the record
- Audience 202,785 followers — people who chose to follow, not just listeners a playlist delivered.
- Release pattern 9 releases spread over 20 years or more — a normal working pace.
- Presence elsewhere We hold no website, Bandcamp or social links for this act — though we may simply never have collected them.
Some of these checks may look inconclusive on their own — a band can be missing from MusicBrainz or release quickly. They do not change the answer. The gig history settles it.
