Cue began as a two-piece between guitarist/ bassist/ keyboardist Clarke Dominick and drummer Jason Brister. In 2000, guitarist Colin Swietek, part of the San Marcos indie scene and occasional member of electro-rock group The Octopus Project (Peekaboo), moved to Austin, slept under the ping-pong table in Clarke and Jason's garage, and started playing music with them. The trio released "Keep Busy," their first full-length album, in 2001. Later that year violinist Stacy Meshbane, formerly of the Tunahelpers (Mimicry) joined the band. In April 2005, the band released "Bring Back My Love," their debut album as a four-piece. Cue's album and live performances have received positive reviews by the likes of Delusions of Adequacy, Tiny Mixtapes, The Village Voice, Pop Culture Press, The Austin Chronicle, The Dallas Observer, The Austin American Statesman, The Metro Pulse (Knoxville, TN), The Charlotte Observer, and more. In addition to touring the United States and performing regularly at clubs throughout Central Texas, Cue has performed in various national and international music festivals, including the 2005 CMJ music festival in New York City, the 2005, 2006, and 2007 SXSW music festivals in Austin, TX, the 2006 Wall of Sound Festival in Fort Worth, TX, and the 2006 Strategies of Beauty Experimental Music Festival in Denton, TX. Cue has also played numerous benefits for organizations including Cinematexas International Short Film Festival, TexPIRG, House the Homeless, the Eye and Ear Festival, and Meals on Wheels. Most recently, Cue has shared the stage with such bands as Nina Nastasia, Mono, Saxon Shore, The Earlies, and Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. Cue will be releasing their second full-length album, "Wedding Song," in June of 2007. |
