One of the strangest aspects of picking up a lot of foreign music is that one often has no idea what the history of the band is. For instance, I had no idea that Gito Gito Hustler was an all girl group, no idea that they've been together since 1995, no idea that they actually have an American distributer (along with Electric Eel Shock), no idea that they've spent a huge amount of time touring the States, and no idea that they could rock so hard live. All I knew is that I really liked their mix of punk, metal and energetic pop. And really, isn't that the best thing you can say about a band? I like them because they're good.
