iostream
A while ago, this site was taken down, but we're back! And this time nothing can stop us.. musically.
A few songs are in the works and will be put up here shortly.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Various incarnations of the band have been around since 2002, but iostream as you know and love it today was formed in 2004 (or around then).
In the summer of 2005, our Album, the aply named 'Stinker Al Trustbuster's Guide to Terror' was recorded, featuring 5 tracks of what can only be described as pure progressive rock. So progressive in fact, track lengths would fluctuate by as much as 3 minutes.
After a length of time apart, iostream has come back together to write new, better material, that now has some kind of structure (we like structure, even in Prog Rock!), the results of which should be presented shortly on this site.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, we have done. Places bands should rarely play. Yeah it was fun and very educational. Lots.
