Yes I've heard of them but not seen them. A local weekly entertainment
paper (The City Pages) just did a story on them.  As I recall the band
was unhappy that local college radio was refusing to play their music,
while at other college radio stations they were getting good play. Also
the band commented that they that it will be very rare for them to
perform live, because if they were to perform regularly it wouldn't be a
special thing.  The City Pages web site may have the article on-line.
