Talk:Toiling Midgets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Notability

Per the notability requirements:

• Band has two releases on major/"notable indie" labels (Rough Trade Records & Matador Records)
• Band has toured the U.S.
• Band is planning European tour
• Founding members from notable San Francisco bands Sleepers and Negative Trend
• I think they were pioneers of the instrumental rock scene, at least in San Francisco and the greater Bay Area and perhaps even California
• Links to sites from non-members of the band (i.e. not Mallon's site and not the MySpace)Trouser Press dot Com (self-proclaimed as " 'the bible' of alternative rock since 1983"; Pacific Northwest Bands, which describes the midgets as a band from the golden era of great pacific northwest rock and roll; Artist Direct dot Com bio, which says that the Midgets were "one of the first West Coast punk bands to experiment with dub and post-punk elements" and had "roots in seminal San Francisco punk acts the Sleepers and Negative Trend" which I think makes them quite notable. I have since added these quotes to the main article.
