Iridesense (Band)

Formed in Merrick, Port Washington and Bayville, Long Island, NY in 1993 - Their music can be heard on Nickelodeon in the shows Zoey 101(featuring Jaime Lynn Spears and Victoria Justice) and Drake & Josh. They've also been featured on MTV shows such as Pimp My Ride, Room Raiders, NEXT and on an episode of the show "Boiling Points".

Iridesense was a semi finalist in the Q104.3 Mojito Band Search, in the Shift 2 Nissan Battle of the Bands, and were also semi finalists (top 20 out of 1000's of entries nationwide) in the National "Be A Radio Star" Competition where they recieved airplay in rotation at Z100 radio in NY in addition to a nationally broadcast radio interview with Elvis Duran from the Z Morning Zoo and Actress Amanda Bynes.

They've played several cross country tours and big gigs at Irving Plaza in NYC, as between period entertainment at a New York Islanders NHL game, sold out engagements with Spin Doctors, Something Corporate and Gin Blossoms to name a few, and their performance for the nationwide Verizon FiOs Festival had a corresponding web video contest online for their song Gasoline. They have amassed a loyal cult following throughout the US and abroad on stage, on the radio and on TV over the past twenty years with their sugary hooks and dance able rhythms that fans of artists like Sheryl Crow, The Cranberries, No Doubt and Katy Perry alike are sure to enjoy.

In June 2008, they released A Trip Called Life on Paradiddle Records; their previous cds include a 1997 release "Cool Dream Tomorrow" on Rock Diva records, a 2001 release "Iridesense" on LLJ Records, and the 2002 self released "Gasoline". 2013 marked the release of their new EP entitled Secret Constellation.

The songs on the recording, which were produced by David Caggiano at Betamax Artist Development in Glen Cove, NY include the rollicking "Voice of Reason", the anthemic "Life" and the whimsical " Got It Good" all of which further expand on the feel good vibe and positive lyrical messages that listeners have come to expect from the band.
