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 (THE FREAKS, 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. Black Ice has played extensively on the West Coast and did a small tour of the East Coast in 2005. The band has just finshing work on their follow up cd , “Myopia” which will be released in March 2007. Black Ice will do their first tour of Europe in late March / early April, 2007!

When I have fears that I may cease to be Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain, Before high piled books, in charactry, Hold like rich garners the full-ripen'd grain; When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face, Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance, And think that I may never live to trace Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance; And when I feel, fair creature of an hour! That I shall never look upon thee more, Never have relish in the faery power Of unrelenting love:--then on the shore Of the wide world I stand alone, and think Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.
