   About īus

Beneath the buckling mass of one-dimensional, style-over-substance bands bloating the modern music scene, four frustrated men live and create in the urban desert outside of Phoenix, Arizona.

With roots somewhere on the outskirts of the contemporary metal movement, iUS defies categorization, relying upon the destiny of each song to dictate its own course --- wherever that may lead. As a result, iUS's live performances and recordings span the emotional gamut, from fury to sorrow, and have earned the band fans across genres.

Vocalist Tyler Midkiff brings a level of versatility rarely seen among vocalists of any genre, and his ability to shift seamlessly from whispers and sighs to screams and open singing, all within a single song, is a key component of iUS's unique style. Midkiff uses revealing, often personal, lyrical content to explore that shadowy space between what we are and what we want to be while guitarist Dan Orenstein's intelligent, fearless playing shapes the band's wide dynamic range. Audiences are clearly excited to see such a rare breed of guitarist; one so fluid, so inventive, and so able to deliver such spine-tingling leads.

iUS's backbone is also strong --- solid, sturdy and well-balanced, but always in motion. Drummer Clint Forrester and bassist R.C. Torres handle the rhythm section with an intensity and inventiveness that keeps each song tight, sharp and always facing its intended target. The two also handle the band's eye-catching artwork. Hell, they even sing too.

It must be said: iUS has arrived! The band is a swelling force in the Phoenix-area metal scene and they're just getting started. The band's first release, the "Cage Called Earth" E.P., engineered by Phoenix-area producer Andy Bosna, will be available in September of 2009 and a full length record will surely follow.

So stay tuned for more from iUS... As the band's frontman assures, "The best is yet to come."

Hey now!

We've got two very different shows coming up in the next five days: Hot Buttered Rum and Misfits

Saturday Nov 14 An Evening With Hot Buttered Rum at the Orpheum. Initially formed as an acoustic string band, seven years of constant touring has transformed Hot Buttered Rum into a plugged-in, percussive powerhouse that wows critics and fans alike. Their left-coast rock reveals an access to jazz, country, and world music that few groups can match. While the band's music belies simple categorization, its songwriting and stage chemistry delights listeners at every turn. Doors at 7, show at 8. All Ages. Tix are only $12 advance/$15 day of.

Tuesday Nov 17 Misfits with Hour of the Wolf, Moonlight Howlers, and Awaken the Nightmare. Misfits are the original horror punk band. Original members Jerry Only and Robo play bass and drums, and guitar is covered by Dez Cadena, originally of Black Flag. Doors at 7, show at 8. Tix are $22 advance/$25 day of.

Also coming up soon:
12/2 Voodoo Glow Skulls with Fayuca @ Downtown Greenhouse (Behind Green Room)-All Ages
12/31 New Years Eve featuring Xtra Ticket w/ David Gans @ Orpheum-All Ages
1/17 John Gorka @ Coconino Center for the Arts-All Ages
2/15 Badfish, a Tribute to Sublime @ Orpheum-All Ages
4/23 Greg Brown @ Orpheum-All Ages

Find more info @ www.greenhouseproductions.net

See you at the show!

There once was a time in the land where the sun was worshiped as god and its embrace with the moon made the earth hold its breath as time stood still in silence, and at that hour the smothered sun shall cloak the whole world in the dead blackness of midnight giving birth to the Element Of Eclipse.

Enjoy Your Life!
