Los Angeles hip-hop and pop act the Black Eyed Peas have been part of the music industry since 1995. Yet according to Fergie, the lone female of the group, 'People are always questioning who we are.' She made that statement to Billboard magazine in 2009, standing beside William Adams (will.i.am), Allan Pineda (apl.de.ap) and Jaime Gomez (Taboo) some six years after the group had found widespread fame.Indeed, it was their 2003 single 'Where Is the Love' (from their third studio album 'Elephunk') that catapulted the Black Eyed Peas to superstardom. The release became their first U.S. Top 10 hit, reached No. 1 on 13 international charts and received two nominations at the 46th Grammy Awards. Following its success, however, along with 2005's 'Monkey Business,' the group was accused by fans of toning down its cutting-edge sound in favor of lighter, radio-friendly fare. The Black Eyed Peas' fifth studio album bowed in 2009 and was called 'The E.N.D.' It spawned the monster hits 'Boom Boom Pow' and 'I Gotta Feeling,' which sat at the top of the chars for an unprecedented 26 consecutive weeks. The follow-up, 'Imma Be,' gave them their third No. 1 from the same album. The following year the group released their sixth project, 'The Beginning,' and performed at the Super Bowl XLV halftime show.The band has confirmed it will start recording sessions for a seventh studio album in 2013. Though they have no tour dates on schedule at the moment, the group's impressive bag of tricks their last go-round included smoke machines, robots, a flying motorcycle, laser lights, plenty of dancers and lots of costume changes. Confetti canons rained down on fans even as they made their way to the exits, many already highly anticipating another chance to see the Black Eyed Peas live.
