After graduating from Harvard in 2004, Gambit began working a 9 to 5 with a venture capitalist real estate firm. Despite the beach house on Long Island and the six-figure salary, he found himself numbed by his “comfortable” lifestyle and longed for the suspense of his adolescence. He missed the music he obsessed over as a teenager, the music he somehow knew was his true calling. So, with the same rigor and discipline he developed in college, he committed to learn how to play, write, and record music in the hopes of feeling once again. Before long, Gambit was playing to music reps convinced they were watching a life-long musician. The raw emotion of both his recordings and live performances are no doubt a result of man doing what he is truly meant to do.
Knights On Earth - (Set time: 10:30 PM)
together we are the musical band of humans called knights on earth. individually, we have played or recorded with spoon, gil scott-heron, phil ramone, antibalas, earl greyhound, and charlie hunter among many other wonderful humans.
we started playing together at the beginning of 2008. through a monthly residency at rockwood music hall in manhattan, we quickly came to care deeply for and believe in this band.
arvo part, stevie wonder, gillian welch, david bazan, paul motian, tom petty, miles davis, sigur ros among many many others have greatly effected our musical hearts.
each member of this band has toured all of the world in different projects. we all believe that this band has the same traveling destiny. we spent much of 2009 working on this album, in the hope that it will aid our sonic presence in the world and help us play to ears far from our home.
we all play music for a living and we will play this music all over the earth for the rest of our time here.

This extremely energetic band from Philadelphia, PA is known for its clean melody lines, probing lyrics, driving rhythms and enthusiastic performances. Sweetly placed pop melodies over an alternative rock sound are sewn together to create unique, infectious songs. With the help of touring, supporting bands such as The Script, Neon Trees, Parachute, Green River Ordinance, Mae, Good Old War, online viral marketing, song placements, and radio support Find Vienna has been independently selling their EP "In Your Favorite Colors" by the thousands. The band is currently working on new songs due for release sometime in the Spring of 2011.
