Darlings of the DC indie scene, Bicycle Thieves are pop wunderkinder whose smart but catchy sound has earned them acclaim throughout the Washington area and has even gotten their music on MTV's "Real World 9." Influences such as Elvis Costello and the Beatles are easy to spot, and if you hear a hint of Jason Mraz, it's because his and the Thieves' records have producers in common.
Ghost Fleet are a Joliet, IL hip-hop duo whose latest record, Conspiracy Theory, boasts such guests as Marz from Dark Lotus, Bio kIllaz, 5 Finger Mafia and Lori Fiore. Accomplished musicians and engineers, the two MCs serve as their own DJ, dropping their own beats and loops behind their rhymes.
