A Cast of Thousands is a quartet from "History's Hometown", Auburn, New York. For better or worse their songs are about contemporary life on the margins. They are loyal to their geographic, social, and political realities and create collagist portraits and landscapes that elevate everyday life. Their songs have been described as "barnstormers", "simple stabs at precious pop", with a "rough-n-ready sonic immediacy."  They've released four albums - "A Cast of Thousands", "Aqua Fur", "Alone in the Crowd" and most recently a live album entitled "Sub Rosa". Jack Rabid from The Big Takeover described their Alone in the Crowd" release "as organic and free of fatteners as a Portlandia free-range chicken, 'Alone' is good and plenty."

Teenager hails from Auburn, NY, the city of tattoo parlors and drug stores. The five-member band performs original rock music with tinges of punk, psychedelic and alt-country. Teenager formed in 1998 for one short-lived summer month when the band hosted a weekly open mic night at a local bar. It was a period marked by intense creativity and a sense of purpose. In January 2007, the band reformed with three of its original members and songwriters—lead guitarist Donny Alger, rhythm guitarist Teddy Curry, and bassist Taylor Price. They were joined by Beth Beer on drums and Theresa Walsh on keyboards, accordion and concertina. Members of the band also play in A Cast of Thousands and Honky Tonk Hindooz.
