Artist History Cuir Bleu is a band that fell together in the summer of 2001, the spin-off of two Audio Terrorist recording sessions. When several A.T. band members were unable to make the studio dates, Kalib invited Pixie to add back-up vox and drum. She ended up taking the vocal lead for both sessions, combining original lyrics with Kalib's compositions. Realizing how enjoyable it was to work together and the potential between them, the duo decided to create a band project that would be uniquely their own. Welcome to Cuir Bleu!

Group Members Kalib and Pixie DuArte are the founding members and song writers. Justine and Annikah (Audio Terrorist) have joined on as vocalists and SamX2 is tooling his guitar and bass to round out the live show.

Instruments Vox and Box plus Ladies and SamX2

Albums Cuir Bleu's 5- track debut, Winter EP, was released 12/ 22/01. A full-length album, Sweet Submission, is on the way, as well as a club remix EP. Any comments for the band can be sent to Pixie@numinarecords.com
