Split yourself in Two coming soon

About Me

The product of an unmarried hippy couple in Toronto, io Perry’s happiest memories involve being raised in a barn while under the care of her starving artist father. Her alternative grade school’s curriculum mainly entailed listening to Beatles records, which, although preventing a career in rocket science, did manage to keep her interest and inspire a love of music. As she grew, she supplemented her force-fed Fab Four diet with Nirvana, The Cure, Meat Puppets and the Pixies.Having moved from Toronto to Montreal to New York, she settled in Los Angeles in 1996, where she has played for such bands as A&M Records’ Old Hickory, Project K and The Green and Yellow TV. After years of touring Europe as hired bass player for hard-edged cult sensations Tito and Tarantula, io has now released herself into the wild and picked up the six string in search of her own style.Her debut cd, Greybay (produced by former bandmate Tito Larriva) is seductively cold and sweetly sad with liberating bursts of infatuation and bitterness. Io’s second solo cd, Split Yourself in Two, embraces the intimate moodiness of Greybay, but has an added enraged-yet-poppy atmosphere that complements her meeker, doe-eyed side. Split Yourself In Two is aptly named because io has successfully bisected herself into a brace of distinct sensitive singer/songwriters who will alternately vie for your attention--ultimately blending themselves into one--creating a lush, powerful, musical entity. . . .Map for upcoming European Tour 2008
