**** 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!

Charles Dickens began pasting labels on blaking pots. The tragedy of his first love penetrated the depths of his soul, and converted him into one of the world's truly great authors. That tragedy produced, first, David Copperfield, then a succession of other works that made this a richer and better world for all who read his books. Dissappointment over love affairs, generally has the effect of driving men to drink, and women to ruin; and this because most people never never learn the art of transmuting their strongest emotions into dreams of a constructive nature.
