ME is an iconoclastic pop induced group established and originated by composer Corinne Caouette who is inspired and driven by an ever evolving body of work and players committed to stretching sound and blurring genre while maintaining the form of song and story. "The music is at once dark, but not morbid; at once lush and brittle; frenetic yet serene; ballasted by lyrics that invoke some unifying theory, perhaps, that the stuff that makes us most alive is the stuff we least want to see."

Treasure is a new trio out of brooklyn who self-released "Tea Parties", a collection of songs that carry in tow a collection of illustrated short stories written by Treasure member, Amanda and illustrated by L.A-based artist Maude Black. Pure Groove record store in London is currently carrying the "Tea Parties" release and after naming it album of the week for two weeks, they called Treasure "one of their favorite discoveries of the year." Outside of the band's regular performance schedule in nyc, Treasure has also been a guest at the St. Mark's Theatre reading series, "Told", produced by Seth Lind of NPR's "This American Life". Members of Treasure also play in brooklyn-based bands Hologram, as well as The Silver State.
