Having paired off in other local combos – singer Shaant Hacikyan and guitarist Jeff Czum in one, old bassist Fred Cimato and drummer Tom Falcone in another – Cute Is What We Aim For came together in January 2005 in Buffalo, New York, driven by the four members’ desire to cast their own upbeat spin onto modern pop. Cute is aim for was a side project by Shawn Hacikyan, which was the singer for a ska band called cherry bing. After they became more popular Shawn changed his name to Shaant
The Cute Is What We Aim For moniker was adopted as a ‘homage to a friend’. It is also said that the term “cute” was used by Shaant in high school as another word for “cool”, and in a phone conversation between himself and guitarist Jeff, Shaant stated “Cute is what we aim for.” in reference to picking a name, and the band decided to use that phrase. The band was productive from the get-go, cranking out a series of bedroom demo recordings just moments after uniting. They posted the tracks on MySpace and PureVolume and quickly captured the attention of the blogosphere. From the start, there was a genuine connection between Cute and the kids.
Cute’s online presence allowed for widespread national exposure that once upon a time could only be garnered through full-steam-ahead touring.
