	er Kimya Dawson is best known as part of the former anti-folk outfit t
	he Moldy Peaches and for the inclusion of several of her songs on the 
	bestselling soundtrack to the hit film Juno. Dawson and fellow Moldy P
	each Adam Green met in 1995 at a record store in Mt. Kisco\, NY\, wher
	e she worked. For the next four years\, Dawson moved back and forth be
	tween New York and Washington\, but she and Green had become friends a
	nd began writing songs together. In 1999\, Green followed Dawson to Wa
	shington\, where they formed the Moldy Peaches. After a year\, Green r
	eturned to New York\, with Dawson following later. Eventually\, the Mo
	ldy Peaches -- Dawson\, Green\, drummer Strictly Beats\, bassist Steve
	 Mertens\, and guitarists Jack Dishel and Toby Goodshank -- began play
	ing the anti-folk circuit. In 2001\, they released their self-titled d
	ebut to critical acclaim. All the songs were co-written and sung by Da
	wson and Green. The band toured in the States as well as Europe. Dawso
	n contributed backing vocals to Ben Kweller's 2002 debut solo album\, 
	Sha\, Sha. Later that same year\, the Moldy Peaches began a hiatus of 
	indefinite length when both Dawson and Green released solo albums. I'm
	 Sorry That Sometimes I'm Mean\, Dawson's album\, was well received by
	 critics and she embarked on a tour of Europe and the United States. I
	n 2004\, Dawson released two more albums of material culled from her b
	edroom sessions: Knock-Knock Who? and My Cute Fiend Sweet Princess. La
	ter that year\, Hidden Vagenda arrived on K Records. Dawson resurfaced
	 in 2006 with the Kimya Dawson/Matty Pop Chart EP and Remember That I 
	Love You full-length. In 2008\, her career took a surprising turn when
	 the Juno soundtrack became an unlikely #1 Billboard hit. Later in the
	 year\, K Records released her first children's album\, Alphabutt. Vis

	RAHMirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn has been at the heart of the vibrant Northwes
	t independent music scene ever since her debut album You Think It's Li
	ke This But Really It's Like This. A collection of her own 4-track rec
	ordings alongside collaborations with Phil Elverum of The Microphones/
	Mt. Eerie\, the album became an instant classic. A follow-up to her fi
	rst release\, the stunning Advisory Committee (2001) cemented Mirah's 
	place in the alternative music canon. These albums were an exploration
	 of the territories beyond lo-fi\, aiming to transcend mere technical 
	limitations and to push the boundaries of ‘indie-rock' towards a more 
	meaningful communicative goal. Phil Elverum's sound experiments collid
	ed with Mirah's striking lyrical poise and unabashed emotional honesty
	 and the resulting mix proved quite evocative. 2003 saw the release of
	 Songs from the Black Mountain Music Project\, the result of a self-im
	posed artists-in-seclusion collaboration with Brooklyn-based artist an
	d musician Ginger Brooks Takahashi. Mirah began working with Lori Gold
	ston and Kyle Hanson of Seattle's Black Cat Orchestra in 2003 and the 
	release of a collection of cover songs followed. The album To All We S
	tretch the Open Arm was conceived as an anti-war statement and include
	d renditions of Leonard Cohen's Story of Isaac and Kurt Weill's What K
	eeps Mankind Alive. Mirah's third solo album C'mon Miracle (2004) comb
	ined the ever-present youthful splendor of her earlier works with a mo
	re mature stylistic component which led many critics to hail it as her
	 best work to date. A sonic expedition\, Joyride: Remixes was released
	 in 2006 and features dance remixes of tracks from Mirah's three solo 
	efforts by the likes of The Blow\, Guy Sigsworth\, and Anna Oxygen. Vi

	le is the project of composer\, producer\, audio programmer\, vocalist
	\, and multi-instrumentalist\, Toby Campbell. Originally a classical v
	iolinist and songwriter\, she released multiple solo records before cr
	eating her own beats and making her way into electronic\, experimental
	\, trip-hop music. A Portland\, Oregon native\, Campbell has performed
	 at top venues across the US\, and has worked as a musician and produc
	er in Madrid\, Glasgow\, Amsterdam\, New York\, Buenos Aires\, and Lon
	don. In 2006\, she moved to Seattle to focus exclusively on Anomie Bel
	le. Anomie Belle's material grapples with social issues ranging from A
	merican political apathy to suburban alienation\, passive media specta
	torship\, social injustice\, and consumerism. Befitting the name\, in 
	this music\, alienation and social unrest mingle with charm and beauty
	. "She makes dark social issues eerily lovely." - KEXP "An intriguing 
	mix – a political and social consciousness set to a down tempo trip-ho
	p\, heavily layered with strings and vocal textures." - The Seattle Ti
