I believe this appears notable and is apparently a well-known name in the Grateful Dead world but, as I'm unfamiliar and have no interest with this type of music, maybe others can give some input.

• Keep. Bringing something you believe is notable to AfD to get help is a new one on me. The band's website contains many links to coverage, some of which is in reliable sources ([http://www.darkstarorchestra.net/press]), and Google News in particular shows sufficient reliable source coverage to demonstrate notability, e.g. [http://portlandtribune.com/pt/11-features/254747-124546-dark-star-orchestra-concerts-keep-dead-alive], [http://www.post-gazette.com/ae/music/2015/03/19/Preview-theCAUSE-welcomes-Dark-Star-Orchestra-guitarist-Mattson-for-Grateful-Dead-tribute/stories/201503190019], [http://www.heraldonline.com/entertainment/music-news-reviews/night-sounds/article12407492.html], [http://www.unionleader.com/article/20150604/NEWHAMPSHIRE0105/150609625&source=RSS], [http://www.courant.com/entertainment/music/hc-ctn-dark-star-orchestra-at-dome-at-oakdale-in-wallingford-1120-20141120-story.html], [http://www.dailyrecord.com/story/entertainment/music/2014/11/14/dark-star-orchestra-channels-grateful-dead-morristown/18917777/], and from GBooks: [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ResCAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA44&dq=%22dark+star+orchestra%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCAQ6AEwAGoVChMI-LPdmqHpxgIVxrgUCh15qgD_#v=onepage&q=%22dark%20star%20orchestra%22&f=false], [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=NegJAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA197&dq=%22dark+star+orchestra%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCQQ6AEwAWoVChMI-LPdmqHpxgIVxrgUCh15qgD_#v=onepage&q=%22dark%20star%20orchestra%22&f=false], [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=EtXXRLLlo5kC&pg=PA276&dq=%22dark+star+orchestra%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CC4Q6AEwA2oVChMI-LPdmqHpxgIVxrgUCh15qgD_#v=onepage&q=%22dark%20star%20orchestra%22&f=false]. --Michig (talk) 08:20, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
• Keep. It's obvious that this band meets the notability criterion. — Mudwater ^(Talk) 11:35, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
