Judge doubles bail for band members who blocked freeway as a stunt

I'm obsessed with news about the The Imperial Stars, the self-described "hard core hip hop band" from Orange County who jammed the 101 freeway in Hollywood for hours to play a set of their songs atop a truck parked across three lanes. Their stunt wasted millions of dollars of people's time and money. (For a taste of these gentlemen's music, watch the video above. The fake adoring audience is a great touch!).
