If I look at the Freebase page for the band '311', I see Chad Sexton listed.

http://www.freebase.com/view/en/311

I am trying to query for the members of a band :

{
            "name"  : "311",
            "/music/artist/album" : [{"name":null, "id":null, "optional": true}],
            "type|=" : ["/music/artist","/music/musical_group"],
            "/award/award_winner/awards_won" : ["award":null, "optional" => true],
            "/award/award_nominated_work/award_nominations" : ["award":null, "optional" => true],
            "/music/artist/supporting_artists":[{}]
}

I thought supporting_artists would return the band member names, but the array is always empty.

But if I query for all properties related to Chad Sexton, I don't see 311 mentioned. But he is listed as member on the Freebase web info page (which is correct).

{
  "*":    null,
  "name": "Chad Sexton",
  "type": "/music/artist"
}

How can I grab the band member names along with the band info?
