Everything else we checked
- Live shows 5 shows listed at 5 venues, 5 of them upcoming. A generated act does not book venues and play them.
- MusicBrainz Catalogued on MusicBrainz, GB. See the record
- 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.
