Correct me if I am wrong when labeling this group as funk, but seeing if you guys have ever heard of The Blue Martian Tribe. I enjoy them quite a bit, they haven't been around for very long, but they were at 10k last year and they are growing in popularity pretty fast.
Blue Martian Tribe on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads So, I would like to see MB's input on this group.
