Widely considered the cheekiest band in the electro-pop scene, Cosmicity is proud of all that he's accomplished. Says frontman, programmer, keyboardist, songwriter, singer and road manager Mark Nicholas: "I'm proud of everything I've accomplished as Cosmicity." Is this guy charismatic or WHAT? Some might even call him sassy, but that's probably a tad too feminine for Mark's tastes. We'll stick with cheeky.

Anyway, if you're reading this hoping to gather some facts about "the band", here's some lovely little snippets of information for you:

- Cosmicity has played several big American synth festivals (sharing a stage with popular electronic bands ranging from Anything Box to Alphaville, Melotron to And One, and beyond).

- Cosmicity has songs on more than 30 electronic music compilations (next to bands like Information Society, Heaven 17, White Town, Real Life, and Cause and Effect).

- Cosmicity has been known to eat nothing but grape Pez for weeks at a time, usually as an emotional response to various television show cancellations. (I miss you, “Firefly”.)

-Cosmicity is currently focusing promotional efforts on the internet. Sales have been excellent: more than 10,000 times better than they were just 10 years ago. According to Nicholas, "online sales have been good. I'm very pleased." There’s that damn smooth-talk again, am I right?!

-Cosmicity had retired the band in 2004 to pursue a new sound under his real name (Mark Nicholas). Those albums (released in 2007 and 2008) were very successful and can still be found at most major online retailers. In 2009, Mark announced he would revive the Cosmicity name for an EP of brand new songs called “ASCII Cupcake”.

When asked what fans should expect from this next release, Mark said only: "...it's a collection of songs that will get you erect." Of course, by this he means that you'll want to be STANDING when you hear it so you can more easily move around to its intricate, pulsing soundscapes. What did you think he meant?
