Agent Ribbons is an indie pop band formed by Lauren Hess (drums, accordion) and Natalie Gordon (vocals, guitar) in 2006. Violinist/cellist Naomi Cherie, who lives in Austin, joined the band in early 2009. Natalie has announced that she is moving to Austin. Lauren will be staying in Sacramento.

The group's first album, On Time Travel and Romance, was released on their old label Are You Alive Records. The CD release party was on November 6, 2006 at Club Pow!. For a few months after the release, you could purchase it with a cover handmade by Lauren and Natalie.1

Agent Ribbons was named "Outstanding Local Act" (Critic's Choice) in the 2007 SAMMIES, "Best Pop Band" in the 2008 SAMMIES, and "Best Pop Band" in the 2009 SAMMIES. They opened for Cake on their 2007 tour.

According to davisRob Roy, they're the "hottest, most sought after indie women in Sacramento."
