.."Harnessing a love of gritty classic rock and 70s punk, this "power trio" delivers driving rock and roll at its purest. Their self-titled EP is catchy, straightforward and fit for rocking out, and their imminent follow-up is sure to follow suit."

Stormy, husky, brawling,
City of THE IVORYSLike the Japanese out of the West, The Stooges from Detroit, or NWA
straight outta Compton, The Ivorys– born and bread Chicago– have burst
forth onto music’s now barren landscape. Fresh as your laundry and dirty as Chamillionaire’s preferred style of transportation, The Ivorys put a new
spin on what all real Americans; and all of humanity for that
matter; love: rock ‘n’ roll. And this is what makes them so irresistible.
The Ivorys proclaimed their existence in the spring of 2003 as freshmen in high school. Brendan Peleo- Lazar (Drums) has known Sam White (Vox/Bass) all of his life and one day the light bulb sparked, they figured they should form a band because they all played instruments! During their freshmen year, Brendan met Rob Thomas (Vox/Guitar) at St. Ignatius College Prep. The three convened in Brendan’s basement (where they still practice to this day) in sunny Lincoln Park, where magic happened. Soon enough, the gigs appeared, the songs were in top form, The Ivorys were well on their way.
Instantly recognizable, yet at once unfamiliar, these three teenagers (teenagers, can you believe it?) have managed to orchestrate a sound in constant dialogue with the past present, and future. Under strict rule from music producer Ira Antelis, The Ivorys have developed a sound of their own. No easy task. But they wouldn’t want it any other way way. It took four years of intense basement practice and open-mic initiations to turn Brendan, Rob and Sam into The Ivorys, and there’s no turning back now. Now the band is playing shows at predominate venues and festivals such as SXSW 09, Metro (headlining), The House of Blues, Double Door, The Beat Kitchen, Subterranean, The Note, The Empty Bottle, The Rave (Milwaukee), Hothouse, Lager House (Detroit), and The Beachland Ballroom in Ohio among others. There is no doubt that these three lads from Chicago are gaining notoriety and a steady fan base throughout the Chicago land area. Please review our newly created music video that we did in 2007 with our director Chris Thompson to get an idea of how we are live for our song, “Can’t Stop†in the included dvd inside the CD cover when you purchase our CD a our concerts. We have also had our song “Can’t Stop†played several times on WXRT in Chicago as well as having our entire CD played on FOX news in the morning. The Ivorys look good on paper too! The band has also been featured in the Chicago Redeye newspaper as well as the Columbia Chronicle as an up and coming young band from Chicago. Check out both interviews on sonicbids.com/theivorys. You can now purchase their self titled EP on Itunes US, UK, Canada, Rhapsody, Amazon MP3, and CD Baby down below! So if you’re looking for wild beats, blaring guitars, catchy lyrics, and songs void of pretension, come see The Ivorys before they bring the revolution elsewhere. You’ve been
