New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Stone Iris official website) Stone Iris is a brotherhood of like-minded musicians. From humble beginnings in Edmonton, Canada, their fusion of self described Southern Rock from the True North / Reggae
Music from a Cold Dark Place has been blazing across Canada and the USA over the years.
With consistent touring, busking, jamming and writing, the undeniable, yet un-classifiable spectacle known as Stone Iris has been persistent in sharing their craft and passion. With a love for performing, their live show is as honest and original, as it is part of who and what they are. Driven by groove, it makes you move.
Much is in store for Stone Iris in 2013; including extensive touring, two full length albums, the first being their eighth and newest recording 'Kicking The Can' out today, Tuesday, March 26th.
Vocalist/Guitarist El Nivens comments:
"Kicking The Can was self recorded, produced and published right from the ground up. It's the first album we have done in this fashion. The band is very excited to be putting something fresh and original into the chasm of indy music."
Releasing their first single 'I Wanna' to radio across Canada along with local support by Edmonton's rock authority Sonic 102.9 FM who have named the group 'Band of The Month' for March plus premiering their second single and first music video 'Taste of Fame' on BlankTV. Stone Iris plans to hit the road for their second North American Tour since supporting last year's award nominated EP Illuminations.
The band will be performing their local album launch / tour kick off show hosted by Sonic 102.9 FM on Thursday, March 28th at the Starlite Room (10030 102 St NW.) with local support from Thompson Hiway,
Mayday and The Beatcreeps and The Unwed Mothers.
