The product of an unmarried hippy couple in Toronto, io Perry's happiest memories involve being raised in a barn while under the care of her starving artist father. Her alternative grade school's curriculum mainly entailed listening to Beatles records, which, although preventing a career in rocket science, did manage to keep her interest and inspire a love of music. As she grew, she supplemented her force-fed Fab Four diet with Nirvana, The Cure, Meat Puppets and the Pixies.
Having moved from Toronto to Montreal to New York, she settled in Los Angeles in 1996, where she has played for such bands as A&M Records' Old Hickory, Project K and The Green and Yellow TV. After years of touring Europe as hired bass player for hard-edged cult sensations Tito and Tarantula, io has now released herself into the wild and picked up the six string in search of her own style.
Her debut cd, Greybay (produced by former bandmate Tito Larriva) is seductively cold and sweetly sad with liberating bursts of infatuation and bitterness. Io’s second solo cd, Split Yourself in Two, embraces the intimate moodiness of Greybay, but has an added enraged-yet-poppy atmosphere that complements her meeker, doe-eyed side.
io Perry's new cd, "Sailor's Wave," contains her usual sweet, whispery, angst-ridden lullabies while adding a pounding, angry sarcasm that jumps at us straight from her punk rock roots. The effect created is a powerful blend of gentle and rough unrequited love songs, pumped through to us with the calculated brilliance that can only truly emerge from a mercilessly trampled heart.
Lust auf ein Konzert der besonderen Art? Die Freaky Fukin Weirdoz sind am 22.10.2009 live in der Kulturzentrale HundertMeister! Support: Captain Cosmos
Die Freaky Fukin Weirdoz waren die deutsche Kultband Anfang der 90iger und die ersten im Lande, die den Begriff Crossover mit Leben füllten. Gegründet wurde die Band 1988 und nach dem 89er-Debüt „FFW“ wuchs die Freaky Fangemeinde schnell über die Landesgrenzen hinaus und eroberte Europa, selbst in den USA wurden die Freakys zum Gesprächsthema. Der Weirdoz-eigene kompositorische Wahnsinn tobte fortan in vollsten Zügen und machte vor prinzipiell keinem Stil halt. Sie waren Vorreiter einer neuen Musikströmung und beeinflussten viele Bands wie die H-BLOCKX, Such A Surge, Dog Eat Dog, die Emil Bulls oder die Guano Apes, die ihnen später folgten.
I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.
"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny
"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman
