Delete for now - First of all, the article not being edited for over two years is not a reasonable case nor is "no references at all" as the external links support some of the article's content. Additionally, as per Wikipedia:BEFORE, you should search for potential sources before nominating, good places are Google News and Google News archives and often Google Books (this one depends on the subject). However, I have done it myself and, unfortunately, I haven't found much to help this article. Google News found results here (one result, second to last result from the bottom), here (two brief paragraphs) and here (two results, second from the top and fourth from the bottom). I also found a book here that suggests a band with the name "The White Ravens" also existed in 1930s Germany. It seems they have gained attention as a local band but nothing significant and their website shows the most recent concert was in September 2012 at a local club so they must not be very active. I recognize the magazine articles and award but there really isn't much for a good article at this time and the Blogspot review is unacceptable for Wikipedia. Although they have played with other musicians, they are obviously an indie duo band. I'm voting delete with no prejudice for a future notable article.
