Through the release of three LPs and endless touring, the Austin, Texas band Quiet Company has been making a name for themselves nationally with their energetic live shows and their anthemic, dynamic, indie rock which critics have called a mix of The Beatles, Death Cab for Cutie, Arcade Fire and Weezer. They’ve gained a huge fanbase while gathering praise from The New York Times, TIME, NPR, Last Call with Carson Daly, Paste Magazine, Houston Chronicle, Austin Chronicle and more.

Quiet Company won Rock Band of the Year during SXSW 2014, adding to their
previous 10 Austin Music Awards including Band of the Year, Album of the Year, Rock Band of the Year, Indie Band of the Year and Song of the Year, all won on the strength of their 2011 release We Are All Where We Belong.

After the success of their 2013 album re-release, A Dead Man on My Back: Shine Honesty Revisited, Quiet Company was featured on NPR’s “All Things Considered” and chosen to be a Red Bull Sound Select Artist, all of which rekindled interest in We Are All Where We Belong and shot the album to #7 on the iTunes Rock charts nearly 2 years after its release.

After an amazing year on the road which included festival sets at NXNE, CMJ, ACL Fest and more, Quiet Company kicked off 2014 in the studio to write and record their highly anticipated 4th full length Transgressor, their most explosive and exposed collection of songs to date.  Recorded in 14 intense days of live tracking at Orb Recording Studios in Austin, the band captured a guitar-driven larger-than-life sound with Matt Noveskey (Blue October) producing and the legendary Tim Palmer (U2, Pearl Jam, The Cure) mixing.  Frontman Taylor Muse's characteristically introspective writing style is in full force as he tells tales of love, despair, pain, and redemption, reflecting on his marriage, from burgeoning young love to a relationship tested through time.

With its soaring guitars and throbbing bass lines drawing comparisons to Foo Fighters, Pavement and Manchester Orchestra, Quiet Company’s Transgressor will be leading the way as rock makes a return to form.

About Mahoroba
Mahoroba, a Japanese musical duo who express "traditional Japanese landscapes" through their music. Mahoroba are made up of TATSU, who plays Wa-daiko (Japanese drums) and HARU, their singer and songwriter. They were born in FUKUI prefecture, a land renowned for its beautiful seas and lush mountains. Nurtured within such a rich environment, TATSU and HARU have grown sensitive to nature's song, and echo it within their own.


TATSU
Japanese Drums / Composition / Arrangement

TATSU was born into a family with a longstanding tradition for playing Japanese drums. He established a professional music group when he was only 17 years old. Now, not only has he performed in Japan, but he also travelled overseas to do so as well. After becoming a soloist, TATSU made guest appearances at various concerts, such as a Tetsuro Naito performance, (Tetsuro Naito is a member of the Japanese drums group, " Kodo") or with professional traditional Japanese entertainers "DONGARA." In 2013, TATSU featured in the musical "BAKU MATSU," working as a composer, arranger, and performer, from which he won much added popularity.


HARU
Lyrics and Vocals / Composition / Arrangement

HARU writes songs for famous Japanese performers, such as Mika Nakashima, CHEMISTRY, Maaya Sakamoto, Little Glee Monster, as well as for commercial advertising. HARU is also a talented vocalist, appearing on many compilation albums, and was selected for LOVE PSYCHEDELICO's performance at BUDOKAN as a backing vocalist. Mahoroba's lyrics are stylised with a "read aloud" feel, in part because HARU's grandfather was a witch doctor, and his philosophies and teachings greatly influenced her world view and performance.
