Everything else we checked
- Live shows 10 shows listed at 10 venues. A generated act does not book venues and play them.
- Back catalogue Releases go back to 1986, before generative music tools were usable.
- Audience 1,722,193 followers — people who chose to follow, not just listeners a playlist delivered.
- Release pattern 50 releases spread over 39 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.
- MusicBrainz Could not reach MusicBrainz for this check.
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.
