Meg and Dia Frampton are a dynamic musical duo known for their compelling indie rock and pop sound, continuously evolving their artistic journey through impactful songwriting and performances. After forming the acclaimed band Meg & Dia in 2004, the duo quickly established a dedicated following through their indie rock and pop sound. They self-released their debut album, ‘Our Home is Gone,’ in 2005, personally distributing 1,000 copies. Meg & Dia toured extensively, sharing stages with national acts such as Limbeck and The Format.
Their innovative MySpace promotion led to their selection as the official MySpace band for the Vans Warped Tour in 2006. Their sound evolved from acoustic roots with the addition of drummer Nicholas Price, guitarist Kenji Chan, and bassist Ryan Groskreuetz in 2005. Building on momentum, Meg & Dia released ‘Something Real’ in 2006 under Doghouse Records, featuring the hit track ‘Monster’ and solidifying their full-band sound. That same year, they expanded their lineup with guitarist Carlo Gimenez.
Their third album, ‘Here, Here and Here’ (Sire Records, 2009), showcased experimental sound and mature lyrical themes, supported by the Take Action 2009 tour and a tour with Never Shout Never. Following departure from Warner Bros. Records in 2010, Meg & Dia continued artistic output with the independent EP ‘It’s Always Stormy in Tillamook’ (2010) and fourth studio album, ‘Cocoon’ (2011). During this period, Dia Frampton launched a notable solo career, achieving national recognition as the runner-up on NBC’s ‘The Voice’ in 2011 and subsequently releasing her solo album, ‘Red.’ The band also released the EP ‘Be Careful, I Love You, Stay In Touch’ in 2011, preceding an official disbandment in 2012.
