march madness.

What a month it has been! Thank to all who enjoyed our first show out in the Broad Ripple area last friday night! We had a great time playing at the Spin night club in Indianapolis. We will be back in the area April 25 at Radio Radio.

The next day we packed and headed to Bowling Green for our first annual Easter Eve bash at Nate & Wally's! Great turn out, gave away some free animals, t shirts, hats, bubbles and colored dough. Unfortunately I forgot a lot of gear in indy from the night previous, but with a little help from Records record Records we were able to please the ears of the wood county residents! Thank you to everyone who came out to support and we look forward to coming back!

Onto another fun filled weekend of live music, raffles and free giveaways. We, THE IRY will be performing LIVE SATURDAY March 29 @ the BALCONY! Come out for some iry bombs and enjoy some non-robot music! New piano is making a debut; i'll leave it at that. hope to see you all there.

thanks for your support!

NYC recap and more shows!

eveyone!

Thank you all for such a great weekend! Once again a great showing at the Balcony bar for the opening and closing of Green Beer Day at Miami University! We were all working on about an hour of sleep for the 6am show. Good news was we had 16hrs to do whatever between 8am and midnight. Closed the night out with some free t shirts, hats, bubbles and coozies... Thank you all who came out that morning/night we will be back march 29 for iRY WEEK!

Next stop NYC! Bumping in the van/trailer on 80 east last friday. all friday. other than following a storm the entire 12 hours to Hackensack, NJ it was a good drive. Made it to the city early Saturday and began to prepare for the Delancey that night at 9pm. Thank you to all who came to witness our first show in NYC. The piano barely made it in/out. Thanks to Yak Pak and Absolut for sponsoring the night and making it an evening to remember. I believe we were one of very few vans and trailers in the big apple this weekend; but it bobbed, weaved and squeaked it's way to the Volstead that night, accident free, for the after party. The Volstead was a great time to meet people and talk. The DJ even spun most of our EP for the 200+ in attendance. Absolut's level®, remixed iry and a great live show made this weekend a perfect one to remember. Thanks again to everyone who made it come true, and we hope to come back. maybe to live...

to the future., this coming weekend we have two great shows lined up with a band called records record records (http://www.myspace.com/recordsrecordrecords). First we will play Friday at the Spin (www.myspace.com/spinindy) in Indianapolis, IN / Broad Ripple. So come out, the weather is supposed to be nice... and then on Saturday we will be performing at Nate & Wally's (www.myspace.com/nateandwallysfishbowl) in Bowling Green, OH @ Midnight!

NYC PRESS RELEASE:

The Iry (www.myspace.com/theiry) finally accept NYC’s invite and will play The Delancey on March 15th.

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 Coldplay, 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, Absolut has elected to sponsor their EP release party at The Volstead (www.thevolstead.com) and up-and-coming fashion designer Nary Manivong (www.narymanivong.com) has outfitted the band with his latest styling’s.

Immediately following their set, The Iry will celebrate at the underground Midtown lounge, where guests will enjoy meticulously crafted cocktails courtesy of Absolut and The Volstead’s superb mixologists. This all while Victor Carpetto and The Elite Camp (www.theelitecamp.com) debut their favorite tracks of The Iry remixed. 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!"
