Challenge of the Future are an aggressive art-rock band from New York City. Their five members originally met at Bard College in 1993, and formed an experimental after-hours unit that worked under the name Boba Fett. After several limited-edition releases and singles, they transplanted to NYC in 1996. Since then, COTFuture have had one foot in Manhattan's clubs (The Cooler, Brownies, Coney Island High, The Knitting Factory, Mercury Lounge, etc.), and the other in Brooklyn's ultra-hip underground venues. They've played alongside The Fall, Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, Alan Vega, and Pan Sonic, and at the 1996 New York Independent Music Festival, The 1998 Intel Fest, and had their soundtracks played at the 1999 New York Underground Film Festival.

After the release of their debut LP, "Everyone Everyone Everyone," They embarked on "The Tour of Northern Aggression" with fellow NYC band Flux Information Sciences, and swung through Athens, Atlanta, Charleston, Columbia, and Washington, D.C.
