Biography

[ENGLISH]
The sound of I Wish I Knew - the name comes from one of their songs after numerous discussions on what the band name should be - is not easily described. All members like different kinds of music, bringing in many different preferences and styles. Most songs are rooted in jam sessions and worked out lateron. Probably the best way to describe their music is to think of a combination of intensity, atmosphere, groove and dynamics, put together in a thick rock-soup with velvet vermicelli.
Our studio-recording of 'Rhetorical Talk' has been mastered in February 2008 and the accompanying videoclip is being worked on at the moment. We hope to have both the song and the clip to be available soon as one package.
In the final weekend of June 2008, we recorded 7 tracks at Bunt's studio's in Utrecht. During the first weekend of July, the final vocals and some extra guitar lines will be added. Mixing is due to take place at the end of July. We hope the cd to be available somewhere around September 2008. So stay informed!
Thank you for checking out I Wish I Knew.
Biografie
[NEDERLANDS]
Het geluid van I Wish I Knew – de naam komt voort uit een van hun nummers na eindeloze discussies over hoe de band zou moeten gaan heten – is niet makkelijk te omschrijven. Alle leden houden van diverse soorten muziek en laten hun beïnvloeding doorklinken in jamsessies van waaruit de meeste nummers ontstaan. De beste manier om hun muziek te omschrijven is te denken aan een combinatie van intensiteit, atmosfeer, grooves en dynamiek, samenkomend in een onstuimige rocksoep.

De eerste studio opname van ‘Rhetorical Talk’ is half februari 2008 gemastered en er wordt op dit moment nog hard gewerkt aan de voor dit nummer geschoten videoclip. De track en clip van 'Rhetorical Talk' zullen binnenkort verkrijgbaar zijn als 1 package.
Eind juni en begin juli 2008 heeft I Wish I Knew zeven tracks opgenomen in de Bunt's studio's in Utrecht en hopen de cd vervolgens rond september 2008 te kunnen presenteren. Hou jezelf dus op de hoogte via de MySpace en weldra ook via de website!

"...listening to them is like being transported to a different world. You forget the world around you and get into the music... ...I hope this band soon makes it to a studio and records these beautiful creatures of them..."
