Keep. This is a significant new up-and-coming artist in the UK, with reviews and other coverage in newspapers, magazines and major online music sites. StoptheDatabaseState 00:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Comment Could you provide some examples? All I see are two reviews. As far as "up-and-coming", that's quite difficult to verify and just seems like WP:CRYSTAL. ShadowHalo 00:48, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Examples of external mentions of 'Bat For Lashes' (Natasha Khan): BBC review, Guardian Arts review, The Argus review, Pitchfork Media, NME. Are these insufficient to pass WP:MUSIC criterion 1? They have also played around 20 live shows in Britain and Europe in 2006 (Bat For Lashes website), headlining at significant venues e.g. The Spitz (criterion 4).
