LIONSHARE has always approached hip-hop with a childlike sense of wonder. Their first song was a 2008 bedroom recording about how cool it would be to have spinning rims on headphones. Shows followed that summer, and ever after, sweaty affairs with likeminded party rappers such as Das Racist and Ninjasonik. Audiences in Brooklyn and beyond soon perked their ears to the telltale thump of "Trip to Feza" and other swaggering tunes. An EP, Shareholders Report Vol. 1, brought these songs to merch tables and the Internet.

Shortly after this release, new songs popped up online, with concepts floating high in the rafters: the importance of putting deceased friends on your guest list; the possibility of accidental impregnation via floating semen in a hot tub; the joys of Zebra Cakes; the tenuous connection between fellatio and the Vietnam War. These ideas and others cohere danceably on the latest recording, Shareholders R.E.P.O.R.T. Vol. 1 Part 2: Orphan Acronym, a mixtape. The title - an orphan acronym is one whose letters don't stand for anything - speaks to LIONSHARE's playful subversion of hip-hop's eccentricities and contradictions. The sound follows the group as they flirt shamelessly with dubstep and other genres of electronic music, but there's still a sense that they'll return to rap and beats at the end of the night, with sheepish grins and flowers.

When not enjoying a meal at Pakistan Tea House, Damon Hardjowirogo and George Stroud join forces to create music as Starscream. With an extremely diverse set of influences including bands such as Mono, The Octopus Project and Iron Maiden, Starscream create drawn out compositions that tend to be both soothing and destructive, kind of like when a distant white dwarf explodes.

Since first founded in 2007, Starscream has put forth three releases; their most recent, Future, and It Doesn't Work came out on 8bitpeoples in June of 2009. The following summer the band went on to support the album with a tour that included dates in the United Kingdom, Canada, and a week long North American excursion with best friends Anamanaguchi.

Starscream has since put out two more releases. In January 2011, they put out a 5-track album called 'Pegasus.' In May 2011 they released their 6th album 'Future, Towards the Edge of Forever.' This 8-Track album was released both digitally and in a limited run of 500 Colored Vinyls Double LP.
