They released two original EP’s and headlined several Nylon/Indie 103 Key Club shows. In addition, Vincent Gallo personally selected them to share the stage with Yoko Ono, Autolux & PJ Harvey at the All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival in England.Alex later recreated herself into a group that is now AKW. They’ve released an album, two EP’s and on top of shooting two music videos, their single “Evergreen” from their Last Lines EP has been added to one of Ford’s car campaigns. In 2013, AKW went on a Fall Tour playing in the Pacific Northwest promoting Falling Whistles and a majority of shows in fan’s homes and backyards, warehouses, parks, etc. AKW’s newest EP “To Be Alive” was funded by a Kickstarter that raised over $8,000 and has been promoted by Skrillex.
