ACL 2018: Brockhampton

Friday at 6:45pm.  This band is opposite FJM and Hozier so we won't see them but I thought their story was worth posting.  It's a group of 14 members that formed in 2015 in San Marcos but now reside in California.  It started when the band's founder, Kevin Abstract, posted a call for members on a Kanye West fan forum. 

Apparently they're quite big now (obviously, given their time slot).  They've performed on The Tonight Show and have toured Europe.  They're big in England, as this article explains (key quote: "“They’re literally like 'I am gay, I am black – whatever.' We’re bored of boy bands with clean cut white boys.”"

"Gold" has 7.5M views on Youtube.
