Well, yes and no...I actually have HEARD of them, but I'm not really
familiar with who and what they are. The only music I've heard from them
that I know of was off the Get Shorty soundtrack...so color me sheltered!
:) Though...who knows..maybe some club exposed me to some of the music,
but I would never had known....that happens alot :)
Kudo's to Carl for his great explanation though! Thanks Carl!!
