"Comprised of the artists and musicians Cory Arcangel, Howie Chen and Alan Licht, Title TK is a "band" that performs in music or art contexts. While they appear on stage as a band, the members do not play live music. Instead the performances are conversations between the three artists about music, performance and the music industry, and their act plays with the tensions created by the audience's expectations and the actuality of their pe ..."

With "All The Small Things," Arcangel presents media and cultural references that are widely accessible and known to the masse ..."
