Virtual band

Well, one, it's short, so I need to pad it out a little, so if anyone knows any good places to find info, please, tell me.

Also, I'm no professional critic, so what I've written at the beginning is really, in essence, primary sourcing. I remember there have been a few newspaper articles mentioning virtual bands, but I don't know if they can be used as sources. Again, any reliable sources would be nice.

Lastly, am I getting a little speculative (or creative...or something) about 'virtualised bands'? If so, should it be deleted? --Jb-adder 00:22, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Google has never heard of 'virtualised bands', so unless you can provide a source where the term was used, I would get rid of it. Anything can be used as a source, but it would be good to list it with full citation information (author/URL/title/publisher/date/description). You probably want to consider using a system of inline references such as footnotes this would help make it clear which source covers which facts. Mozzerati 18:39, 2005 May 14 (UTC)

I thought that was probably the case. Thanks for that; consider them gone. --Jb-adder 08:42, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

A key question to be answered about such a recent phenomenon is where the phrase was first used. Also, have the initiators of bands like Gorillaz talked about how and why they put such a band together? --Theo (Talk) 08:55, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing up those questions. The former will need some deep and intensive research (I have a rough idea on how the term came into use, but I'm not going to bring it up yet); the latter--well, I've already given the reason for The Archies, and I should find the source from which that came (video library time!), and the reason for the Gorillaz can possibly be found on the Takedown video, but JuJu Eyeballs...I can only find that out by asking the person who created it (which, I know for a fact, is not a good idea). --JB Adder | Talk July 1, 2005 08:44 (UTC)

Further to the matter of sourcing

Does anyone know of any articles that used the term 'virtual band'? --JB Adder | Talk July 5, 2005 06:16 (UTC)
