This was probably too hard. I'd never set a question before and underestimated how difficult it would be to solve. There was a line of possible questioning where you would solve it but if you don't take that line you're in trouble. They're a big band but the problem is they're probably virtually unknown in the US. Asking the question about Grammies was a bit of a tip off that you were doomed. They've never even been on the radar for the Grammies.
You can try to solve with those additional hints if you want, or I can just reveal.
