as a |hoax. The band is allegedly a "hit" band with a meteoric rise to fame and a 42-year recording career yet there are no sources for the band, the albums or any of the band members and none of them rate even one relevant mention on an internet search. Then two of the three band members, now in their 60's, suddenly die in a combine harvester accident? What, they had retirement jobs in large scale agriculture? Nonsense. If we were to take this seriously it would still fail  - it is not the subject of independent published works, did not have any hits or conduct any international tours, is not identified as a prominent representative of any musical style, has won no awards and the alleged musical output is not on high (or even low) rotation on any media
