Thank you, and keep spreading the word about Company of Thieves!
My CoT story...
In December of 2008 I discovered a small video on YouTube for "Oscar Wilde" by Company of Thieves. I was immediately drawn in. The lush melodies of Marc Walloch's intricate guitar work combined with the powerful vocals of Genevieve Schatz created an undeniable musical landscape full of passion and honesty. At that time, their independent debut album Ordinary Riches was unavailable, but would soon be re-released on iTunes. I also discovered that they previously released an acoustic EP that was no longer in circulation. My mission was clear and I was intent on doing whatever it took to get my hands on this music. Armed only with a single .mp3 of Oscar Wilde, a friend and I jumped into my car and drove two hours in the dead of winter to see Company of Thieves perform. Their live performance was amazing, and I walked away with the original independent release version of Ordinary Riches in my hands! I was hooked. Now I had track down this acoustic EP that I had only read about online.
I had the fortunate opportunity to see Company of Thieves live for a second time a few weeks later. After their performance the band members took some time to talk to the fans in the audience, and I questioned them on the whereabouts of this mysterious acoustic EP. Much to my surprise, guitarist Marc Walloch offered to make a copy of the CD, and asked me to send him my mailing address. Now, they just recently embarked on a nationwide tour for Ordinary Riches, but true to his word Marc took the time to make a copy, found a FedEx while on the road, and delivered it. I received a package in the mail with the Tourniquet Acoustic EP safely sealed inside just a few days later. The padded envelope read "Love, Peace, and Music - CoT."
Company of Thieves' debut album Ordinary Riches is a complete work with an infectiousness that has kept it on infinite repeat since the day I discovered it. All of the band members are such genuine and beautiful individuals that its no wonder that their music touches people in the way that it does.
Now in 2011, their second studio release Death of Communication shows the evolution of their music after a rigorous two years on the road. I had the good fortune to catch CoT live a couple of times in support of the new album, and they still continue to amaze! Unfortunately, a packed schedule and other obligations have limited my ability to update the Dangerous Indeed blog pages, as well as my YouTube and Vimeo pages dedicated to CoT.
The world has yet to see what Company of Thieves will become, and I will be watching and supporting them every step of the way!
