Skyway Theatre Presents:
Cute Is What We Aim For - 10 Year Anniversary Tour
The Cute Is What We Aim For moniker was adopted as a 'homage to a friend'. It is also said that the term cute was used by Shaant in high school as another word for gay , and in a phone conversation between himself and guitarist Jeff, Shaant stated Cute is what we aim for. in reference to picking a name, and the band decided to use that phrase. The band was productive from the get-go, cranking out a series of bedroom demo recordings just moments after uniting. They posted the tracks on MySpace and PureVolume and quickly captured the attention of the blogosphere. From the start, there was a genuine connection between Cute and the kids.
Cute's online presence allowed for widespread national exposure that once upon a time could only be garnered through full-steam-ahead touring. With songs like Lyrical Lies and Finger Twist and Split lighting up broadband connections coast-to-coast, the band were eager to establish themselves as an equally poptastic live act. In the spring of 2005, mere months after getting started, Cute won PureVolume's online Battle of the Bands competition, securing a high-profile spot at that year's Bamboozle. They spent the following months recording and playing more shows, building upon their new fanbase while simultaneously fending off the many record companies that were vying for their services. But when the call came from Fueled By Ramen, they knew that they'd found the right home.
