Meet the Music: Thieves

If you haven’t heard of Thieves yet, you haven’t been paying attention.

Listeners of 96.5 The Buzz have heard either the stormy “Mecca” or screamer “Swan Song” blasting every week on Homegrown Buzz. Even if your commute is too short for the radio, you’ve seen their faces on the cover of the January 5th Pitch, or maybe attended their sellout show at RecordBar.

Salar Rajabnik, Ryan Hiser, Chet Kueffer, and Wayne Zimmerman  formed Thieves a year ago in Olathe. In November 2009 they released their debut EP “Divider,” legally available for free download here. It’s loaded with layered, crystalline alternative rock punctuated by soaring guitars and glitch-inspired beats.

Check it out so you can be ready to rock out Friday, February 12 at the Uptown!
