They have been bugging around L.A. for a few years
now.  I commend you for getting past their industry
links, unfortunately, I can't.  Living in Los Angeles,
I have seen so many  bands SO MUCH MORE FREAKING
WORTHY of hype, attention, whatever, (not bands I'm
involved with, just bands I've seen around at shows.) 
But they don't have the money, backing, connections,
youth, and their talent will probably not get them far
enough.

I KNOW I'm being very petty about it.  oh well.

I also despise their press photos, with them looking
OH so angry and pouty.  Give me a break!  It's so
contrived!

I don't much like girl groups anyway, so I probably
wouldn't like them even if I didn't know their
history.
