    They changed their name to ‘Massive' during the Persian Gulf War because the media disliked the name ‘Massive Attack.'
    Critics labeled their music ‘trip-hop,' a label the band doesn't care for.
    Although British, their official website criticized the foreign policy of the Bush Administration.
    Andrew Vowles left the band because he disagreed with the darker artistic direction the album ‘Mezzanine' took.
    They opened their own ambient bar, ‘Nocturne,' which is an exclusive, member's only club.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Their music combines elements of hip hop, techno, house, jazz, guitar rock, R&B and soul.
    Two of their albums were named to Rolling Stone Magazine's ‘Top 500 Albums of All Time' list.
    Their music's been featured in several motion pictures, and their song ‘Teardrop' was used as the theme for the popular show ‘House.'
    They worked with artists such as Madonna and Garbage.
    They support the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
