Stumbled across this stuff while drifting the internet.

Sunday Losers don't seem half bad. Seems like Bobbyville is a project band for another group and is inactive, but apparently they might come back...

EDIT- I've always wondered why Country/Bluegrass music isn't more popular here. The themes should appeal to Koreans and the I could see Korean people getting behind banjos, dobros, and mandolins.

Who cares? Country music has a bunch of covers. And as for ripping off genres of music that aren't ones "own". I think African-Americans might have something to say about white folks' whole sale pillaging of jazz, blues, country, rock, and hip-hop. But then again if westerners do it its "innovative" and "experimental". If Koreans do it its "ripping off".
