The band gained popularity through self-promotion via MySpace; they were selected as the official MySpace band on the Warped Tour 2006. At the end of 2007, it was announced that Meg & Dia would open for Angels & Airwaves on a 2008 US tour. In 2008, the band embarked on its first overseas tour in Europe, and received positive reviews by many European critics. Meg & Dia also made their first UK appearance at the annual Give It A Name festival in 2008. On October 16, 2009, the band put up a new song called “5 Reasons,” which is, as Meg posted in a blog, about a conversation the sisters had with their mother over a break from tour. Dia is half Korean and half Dutch. Her career aspiration has been to be a voice-over actress, but her considerable singing talents have steered her elsewhere. She is a life-long bookworm, and also writes novels and children’s books.
