The Loom is a six-piece indie rock band from Brooklyn that features male/female vocals, horns, guitars, banjo, ukulele, keys, and percussion. After releasing their debut EP, "At Last Light", in 2008, The Loom toured the northeast US and Canada and played SXSW, Pop Montreal and CMJ 2008, 2009, and 2010, including showcases for BrooklynVegan, nyctaper, and Breakthru Radio, as well as BAM's "Sounds Like Brooklyn" series, The Northside Festival, and many more.
