**** BIO ****
Stevenson Sedgwick (THE PHANTOM LIMBS, FACTORY OF ANGST) and Sköt B (ANAL KITTIES, THE PHANTOM LIMBS) formed Black Ice in 1999. Black Ice concentrated on making music with effects-driven acoustic instruments, samples, random objects and found sounds. Their early music was primarily instrumental and was often used in the service of art performances and local films in and around the San Francisco Bay Area.
In 2001 the duo enlisted the help of Miss Kel (SISTER MARY SHOELACE, RED VOICE CHOIR) on vocals and the band, now a three piece, released a four song demo.
In 2002, Black Ice enlisted the aid of Mister Brown (SISTER MARY SHOELACE, RED VOICE CHOIR) and Melanie X (TEETTH, UNICORN STICKERS) for live performances. Their debut record, A 10" EP on atakra records was released to critical acclaim. After several compilation appearances, their debut full length cd was released on Hungry Eye Records in May 2005 to similar critical acclaim with many calling it the best or one of the best records of the year.
In 2004, the band members were found guilty of thought crimes and illegal use of sombreros by the San Francisco Mission District's Young Pioneers. They were acquitted on appeal and now proudly wear this headgear as a symbol of hope for all victims of political oppresion.
Black Ice has played extensively on the West Coast and did a small tour of the East Coast in 2005. Their follow up cd , “Myopia” was also released to critical acclaim in March 2007. Black Ice did a highly successful European tour in April 2007.
Black Ice have just released a four song demo, the BLOCK ICE EP and are playing a handful of shows on the west coast before returning to the studio. The shows are featuring all original members including the return of Melanie X!

HERE IS A PREVIEW FOR THE UPCOMING STORY 'OUIJA' WHICH IS ONE OF MANY TWISTED RHYMES INSIDE THE NEW LUNACY MACHINE.
OUIJA
Is there someone there? Is there someone there? Come talk to us tonight. We’re asking for the dead to speak, It’s only us . . .my wife and me. Come tell us how you died.
The oracle moved about the board A figure-eight reply. The oracle started slowing down, then stopped . . . above the Y.
Tell us more, tell us more, what brought you here to me? Tell us how you died tonight. Tell us when you died tonight. Tell us what brings you here tonight. Keep spelling it for me.
The figure eight continues and around the board it moves. It’s slowing down, it’s slowing down. Come, spirit, talk to me right now, Tell us tonight, because we want to know . . Then the oracle stopped on the letter O.
You’re coming in so very clear, Now tell us why you’re roaming here, on this dark and stormy night. Speak to me, speak to me, Travel through this board to me. Tell us why you sleep tonight beneath your resting tomb. Speak to me, speak to me, speak to me now. Then the oracle stopped on the U.
Y-O-U, Y-O-U, this isn’t making sense. You spelled out, YOU is this what you meant to do? Then the oracle stopped on YES.
