Company of Thieves is back after taking six years off. Their new tune, “Treasure,” is pretty cool and you can hear it below. The band had a music industry story you hear about in the movies – founding members Marc Walloch and Genevieve Schatz met on a train station platform in Chicago and bonded over a love of the Beatles. They started making music together, along with fellow band member Chris Faller, and went on to self-release their first record. They were discovered at SXSW when a record exec wandered into one of their shows after hearing them from the street. They signed a record deal, released another album on a label, played late night TV and toured the country endlessly. They went on a hiatus a few years back – Marc went onto play bass for AWOLNATION and Genevieve pursued a solo EP, touring with bandmate, Chris.
Fate eventually brought them back together, and now they are back and ready to release new music! They just released their new track “Treasure” (their first in 6 years), which is a politically charged anthem. They will perform 2/12 + 2/13 w/ Walk The Moon @ McMenamins Crystal Ballroom.
