From a Pacific Rim nation to an arboreal spikey rodent gives you a keyboard player who was in this Art Rock band that sounds like a Native American Tribe in woodland shower.

Bo Hansson. Or perhaps you mean Hansson and Karlson.

^ right artist (but not in the PA as a solo-artist), so looking for the band in the last part of the clue.

^ you were just unlucky I'd just finished researching Dodgson for a short story.
Next clue: a line from a madcap song turns up in a forest

Shouldn't the hints contain generic information about the words making the bands' names, instead of particular info about those particular bands? That's because if someone doesn't know band trivia will never be able to make a guess. For example I see no connection between Gryphon and the given hint

A cryptic clue only needs to give hints towards the band's name. Dodgson is better known as Lewis Carol, so his little girl is Alice - the Gryphon takes her to see the Mock Turtle in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. (and Gryphon is the only Wonderland creature in the PA)

OK Dean, I thought it was an inside hint from Gryphon's stuff.

Not quite the only creature - the Unicorn from the sequel "Through the Looking Glass and what Alice Found there" and the Mad Tea Party are also in here. But they don't show Alice around.
