Hailing from Columbus Ohio and with diplomas in-hand, The Iry ( www.myspace.com/theiry) debut their EP “Dinner for Two on the Moon” with their first trip to the Big Apple. The Iry will take The Delancey stage at 9:00pm on Saturday, March 15th ( www.thedelancey.com) bypassing SXSW and giving New York a taste of the next Midwest gem.
With complex piano leads, eloquent lyrics, pop melodies and intricate rock guitar, The Iry redefine pop music and draw comparisons to such acts as The Killers, Ben Folds and The Cold War Kids. It’s no wonder that Yak Pak ( www.yakpak.com) has already hooked them up with a lifetime supply of guitar straps and cases, and sponsored their EP release party at The Volstead ( www.thevolstead.com) while talented New York fashion designer Nary Manivong ( www.narymanivong.com) will be styling the band with his tasteful style to give The Iry their New York debut.
Immediately following their set, The Iry will celebrate at the underground Midtown lounge The Volstead, where guests will enjoy the meticulously crafted cocktails of superb mixologists. This all while Victor Carpetto and The Elite Camp ( www.theelitecamp.com) debut their favorite tracks of The Iry remixed from high above in the dj booth. And all this industry enthusiasm, it’s far from unwarranted…
According to Jordan Loewen ( Fresh Air radio, UK), “I have never encountered a band so young, so talented and so intelligent. The Iry are simply breaking every stereotype associated with talented musicians. In regards to the future success of The Iry, it is not a question of if, but rather a question of when.”
And with success Stefan Schwartz (Lead Vocals, Keys) offers: “No gimmicks, no image and no abbreviated song titles… we are simply here to save popular rock music!”
