Imaginary Cities are: Marti Sarbit and Rusty Matyas.

We are the music we love. We are a duo, but when we are alone together we are an orchestra. We can sing louder than all the heavy metal drummers can play. When we are live, we have a band. We are from Winnipeg and Brandon. We know the walls of the "Wall Of Sound". We are a ragged home for your motown, and your rock'n roll. We are partners in noise pollution. Rusty was a member of the well established Winnipeg rock band, The Waking Eyes, signed to Warner Music Canada. Marti's sings, and plays through out Winnipeg with a vintage soul band "the Solutions".

"This is one of those bands that's so good, you simply cannot understand why the world hasn't discovered it yet. Buried Beds is a pop group - no apology necessary, because doing pure pop well (i.e. not boring people to death) is a high-wire act not too many people can pull off. The band was formed in 2003 by Philadelphia indie music mainstay Brandon Beaver (how's that for a pre-existing stage name!) and Eliza Jones. Check out the latest Buried Beds collection, Tremble the Sails, to understand what talented people can do with piano, acoustic guitar, banjo and violin. The arrangements are lush and interesting, the lyrics focused and funny, and the vocal harmonies are Beach Boys good. All the vocals, by the way, were recorded at home, with the band members in their PJs."
