The think13 platform celebrates the intersection of live music and performance art, bringing audiences into a community where sound and storytelling converge. Rooted in the Bay Area creative scene, the site documents performances that blur traditional genre lines, from acoustic unplugged sets to full band productions. Visitors can explore a chronological archive of shows, discovering how a single creative duo shaped an evolving musical journey across intimate venues and larger festival stages throughout the late 2000s.
Central to the think13 identity is its vocal presence, described by journalists as strong and haunting, weaving through layered instrumental arrangements. The group's live work draws on rock, tribal rhythms, and theatrical staging, creating spectacles that audiences and critics alike have called gorgeous and boundary-pushing. Reviews highlight the way performances feel both like concerts and curated art pieces, inviting viewers to consider music as a multidimensional experience rather than a passive listen.
Beyond the stage, think13 has built a quiet but devoted following through radio play, online episodes, and video content that extends performances beyond their original venues. The website serves as a hub for fans seeking premieres, interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage from recording sessions. By documenting each step of their creative output, think13 invites newcomers into a world where every release feels intentional, community-oriented, and tied to a broader artistic vision shaped over years of consistent work.
The visual identity of think13 mirrors its artistic ethos: clean, utilitarian, and quietly confident. A hand-drawn script logo anchors the brand, while flat rectangular buttons and generous whitespace let the content breathe. The forest green color palette evokes nature and balance, echoing recurring themes in the music itself. Rather than relying on ornament, the design lets imagery and typography carry the weight, much like the performances let voice and rhythm take center stage.
think13's presence extends into broader cultural conversations through coverage in independent press and participation in community events. Benefit shows, international theatre festivals, and youth-focused programs have all featured the group, reflecting a commitment to using music as a vehicle for connection. As the archive grows, the site remains a living document of an artistic partnership that continues to evolve, balancing tradition with experimentation and inviting audiences along for each step of the journey.
