I, Octopus is instrumental, experimental rock from New Orleans, LA. Their unique and intimate live performances create sonic soundscapes that range from punk rock recklessness, teetering on the edge of chaos to calm, relaxing lullabies. Their music has been compared to many great bands such as Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, and Pink Floyd.
The band formed in a Loyola University dorm room in 2000 by current members, Michael and Blake. Along with Matt Aguiliz (A Living Soundtrack) on drums and keyboardist Scott McManus, I, Octopus released their first EP 'Helping Others Help Themselves'in 2004. Their current drummer Jay joined the band in 2005 when Matt moved away. Since then the band has collaborated with keyboardist Brandon Bunch, and later, Abdon Callais. I, Octopus is featured on the 2008 local music compilation "Songs From the Basement Vol. 6" produced by Tulane University's WTUL, a progressive New Orleans radio station. Other bands we are in: White Colla Crimes and Hat Talk
I, Octopus recently released a split recording with Metronome the City on September 20, 2008 and are currently in the studio working on a full-length 2009 release.
