Have you ever discussed an artist that you know that does not exist with another individual who tells you how great they are? Anyone who has been in the music business is no stranger to this phenomenon. People who are responsible for discovering talent want “to be in the know.” In other words, it’s their duty to know every artist that exists on planet earth, if not, they are falling behind. Music fans think alike, especially hipsters who pride themselves for discovering artists before the rest of the masses.

Anyhow, Jimmy Kimmel took his popular Lie Witness News segment on the road to Coachella, where he had some fun with the local fauna by asking them their thoughts on bands “so obscure that they do not exist.”
