iodo are 5! - 15 February
Yes, amazingly iodo have now been going for five years! and,
what better way to celebrate than by giving you all some free
music. By heading over to the discography
page you'll be able to download the this is angst ep
that was recorded at our true love waits ep launch last
july. It includes live versions of tracks from previous eps and
the improvised track silver fox, which is a much
reworked version of intro from our first album.
And, going all out with the celebrating, we've decided to
expand and have formed the iodo collective, a rotating
group of like-minded Lincoln-based musicians to play a mix of
pre-written and improvised music. It includes members of other
notable Lincoln bands and we'll put up some details about who's
involved in it soon. The plan is to get some gigs sorted for the
summer, at which you can expect radical reworkings of iodo tunes
split with improvised tracks. It looks like it's all going to be
rather exciting.
A big thank you to everyone who's been supportive and helped in
numerous ways over the last 5 years. We hope you enjoy the ep.

December update - 27 December
Hi, sorry these have been few and far between. There look like
there are some exciting things brewing for the beginning of next
year, including a new release!
This will be the best bits of our live recording from July.
There are also some bits that could become a new EP floating
around on my laptop...
Until these things materialise out of the ether, if you haven't
got a copy of true love waits from this website or
iTunes (click above), then now is an ideal opportunity.
Also, Friday 14th December saw the debut playing of our version
of 'Once In Royal David's City' which I stitched together at the
beginning of the month, you might still be able to listen to it
at www.bbc.co.uk/lincolnshire
using the 'listen again' feature - definitely one for the 10
year anniversary box-set...
That's more or less it as news goes at the moment, but expect a
large splurge of it come January. Keep well and enjoy the
holiday,

September update - 8 September
Some news for you all: I've just finished mixing the live
recording from The Cell in July and some of it is pretty hot,
I'll let you all know what's happening with all that when I've
worked it out. Oh, and RTA is up for download from our
myspace
page.
Also, we have an acoustic gig lined up on 20th
September to accompany the premier of a film made by a friend
of ours. The venue is 'The Moorlands Railway Club' which is
just off Newark Road, almost opposite Rookary Lane. It all
kicks off at 7pm. There might even be some tasty new songs
that I've been working on at the moment.

We're trying to sort out a few more gigs over the next month

supporting a film that's been made by one of our friends, but
I'll reveal more about that closer to the time.

Mix on BBC Radio Lincolnshire. you can listen
again to the show on the bbc website. the program is two hours
long, our first song is about twenty-five minutes into it, the
second about an hour and ten minutes and the third around an
hour and thirty minutes into it, i think.

is to your tastes.

Thank you - 26th July
Just a quick note to say thank you to everyone who turned up
to our launch night last night, we really appreciate it. It
was a really good evening, great atmosphere and great music.
Thanks also to Lipstick Entourage and the Mark 9s for two
mind-blowing sets and Nathan for the excellent sound. We sold
a few EPs and soon we should have the whole paypal thing set
up on the shop page so that you can buy them from the site.
Also, we have a recording of all three sets of last night's
gig along with video footage of all the sets, so I'm sure
there will be some sort of release over the next couple of
months, we'll definitely try to sort out something special to
celebrate it.

Getting hectic - 21st July
Just half a week until the EP release and things are getting
a bit hectic- CDs to burned, artwork to be sorted, flyers and
posters distributed etc. So not too much news to speak of as
everyone is getting ready for the big gig and working like mad
to get it sorted. The gig looks like it's going to be pretty
good, though, with some interesting changes personnel-wise and
the wonderful Dan Svarc will be joining us on stage. Nothing
like last-minute working to make you feel alive...
If you're a newsletter member you will have enjoyed the
non-EP track entitled 'palm-leaves in parking bays' in your
inbox this week. If your not a newsletter member, you should
be.
Oh, and we've set up our own facebook group, so if you are a
visitor to that particular social networking site you should
definitely make it look like we have loads of friends.
Looks like the So:Luxe gig in September might not be going on
now, so we'll have to get something else sorted for that
month.
Other stuff to look forward to this month include our Radio
Lincolnshire session. When stuff has died down a bit we might
even get down to recording some new stuff... We'll see.
Keep well,
d/p
More News - 2nd July
Hope you are all well. In the next week or so we will be
giving away a free track to all newsletter subscribers. It's a
short non-ep track entitled palm leaves in parking bays
and it's made completely out of found sounds from an archive
I've built up over the past year and samples from the new ep .
To get it just sign up below - if you haven't already - then
expect our next gift to your inbox to contain a link to
something special...

NEWS!! - 21st June
Hello, finally some news! get stuck in:
The new EP is finished! We finished recording back in April
having started back last June and we're in the middle of
sorting out artwork and all the little things. It is entitled
'True Love Waits' and is 6 tracks long - 2 of them being
standalone pieces, which many of you may recognise from last
year's tour, as well as a four part conceptual song-cycle
based around ideas of Christianity and Consumerism. The two
standalone tracks 'Altruism' and 'Love Is
Calenture' are up on our
myspace
for your listening pleasure. We've managed to get some great
players on it contributing live drums, flutes, saxophones and
extra guitars and one track even features the brilliant
Dan
Svarc.
The EP will get it's release at a launch party at The Cell
in Lincoln on Wednesday 25th July when you will be able to
hear the superb local talents of
Lipstick
Entourage and
The
Mark 9s as well as iodo playing the first airing of the
new tracks with a newly augmeted line-up featuring a live
drummer. This will hopefully be followed by some more gigs
once we get them sorted. I'm also gradually rejigging the
website in multiple ways, so there'll be some slight changes
over the coming weeks...
