CITY: Chicago, IL
ABOUT:
Company of Thieves sites Motown, soul, 1960’s and 1970’s rock n’ roll, Wilco, Neil Young, Fiona Apple and — of course — the Beatles, among their influences. In fact, the name “Company of Thieves” stems from the group’s feeling that their material is their own, more textured version of the music produced by their favorite artists, and therefore, a form of “thievery.” They participated in Yahoo's! Billboard Live showcase at B.B. King’s in New York City in 2007. A subsequent Inside Track review of the Billboard show said that Company of Thieves was one of two performances from the event that stood out “head and shoulders above the rest,” and Billboard itself calls Company of Thieves “one of the best unsigned acts out there…” certainly an unquestionable indication of what is to come.
