Sounds like:
A empire of sub-space dance music combo'd up with an array of pure psychedelic juices, but we never forget the moments of laying in a field.

We formed in summer 2004. We've had a few band member changes (Brett Dolter: '05, Keith Lee: '05, Christina Phipps: '06-'07, Elizabeth Curry '04 -'09) over the years. Marc, Derek have remained since the start.
Before 2008 I.V. was stationed at the Montague St. Studio (named after our first album). We jammed/recorded @ King St. Studio '08-'10. Myles Yasinski joins the band (late - early 2010). After his departure Steve McDonnell becomes our newest member. We are now moved to College Ave. Jam Spot. 2010 - current.
We have 5 albums: 'Galactic Turbulence and The Adventures Of Tomorrow' 2009
'All goes down on Montague' 2006
'Saskatchewan EP + 40 bonus tracks' 2007
'Battle with Birth, 8-bit (Beware of Goomba) 2008
'Live @ Osmosis Lounge 3' 2008
We live for the grass roots, psychedelic/experimental, do it yourself variety.
We love to make people dance, think, play, create, engage.
Stage costumes/props/lighting/projections/collaboration is very important to us...merge it with performance art as much as possible. We are true independent music.
Our list of experience is not shy to professional music industry and fine arts world. Giant folk/rock festival stages, workshops in art galleries, raves, youth centers, club nights, fundraisers, protests, downtown outdoor stages, infringement festivals, newspaper cover, radio interviews, headliners and openers.
We are also on facebook, reverbnation, oustage, numubu, saskmusic, youtube and cbc's new music canada.
