GET TO KNOW: THE TRIMS
Genre: Indie Rock
Formed: 2010 Hometown: San Jose, CA "The Trims describe themselves as an Indie/Dance/Post-Punk band. They have a strong sound reminiscent of early U2, and the brit pop of the 80′s-90's, while also conjuring the swagger of artists like Joy Division and The Doors. Blend that style with over-sexed lyrics about all things scandalous, and you have the identity that defines The Trims Their song "Out of Control" was just featured on MTV’s The Real World and they are listed on MTV's artist pages at http://www.mtv.com/artists/the-trims/ They are currently on regular rotation at CBS Radio Live 105.3 KITS in San Francisco.

FLAY
K.Flay and a friend were discussing modern rap music. Believing that most hip-hop hits on the radio were simplistic, misogynistic, and formulaic, she proclaimed that even she could do a song like that. To demonstrate, K.Flay spent that night writing a song called Blingity Blang Blang, which she described as "a low-budget rap parody that contained far too many obscenities. Realizing that she actually enjoyed it, she wrote two more songs before the end of the year.
The summer after her freshman year at Stanford was a period of experimentation. She continued to write more songs and discovered how to record them as musical tracks on her laptop computer. During her sophomore year, she began performing for live audiences, and in her junior year she released her debut album, Suburban Rap Queen, which has earned her quite a local buzz and a myriad of fans, thanks in part to her internet web page and MySpace profile.
