Lokasenna ioc was born in the year '94 as a musical outlet of Sven P. He surprised the scene with the self released Cd-r Archive 1994 - 2004, a collection of slightly reworked songs originally written between '94 and '98. These songs were recorded for a demo tape that brought his project on stage at the first Bizarre festival '98 in Beernem/BE-. For The Night Of The Abyss '99 in Waregem/BE, Lokasenna ioc was programmed together with Sorrow and Sol Invictus. At the end of the same year all future plans needed to be put into the fridge due to some personal circumstances, the project went into a deep sleep that lasted for almost 6 years.
To celebrate the release of Archive 1, Lokasenna ioc played together with Shrug as part of a Hospitalfood showcase (DIY art & music platform) at the onTwen festival '05 in Aartrijke/BE. For this occasion Sirja L., playing live cello, joined Lokasenna ioc. Later that year, she decided to be a permanent member of the band, lifting the sound to a higher level.
Archive II 1998 - 2005 saw the light of day early 2006. Again, it is a collection of slightly reworked songs still breathing the original atmosphere. Shortly after this second release, Lokasenna ioc went on stage to close Factories '06, an exhibition of industrial photography and architecture in Vlissingen/NL.
For the final chapter in the archive series Dutch indie record label Elitepop selected 6 tracks from both archive cd-r's to be featured on our first official release "November Wind". A limited vinyl 10"
released in October 2006. To promote this mini album Lokasenna ioc went on stage at the 3rd onTwen festival in Aartrijke/Be reinforced with a new band member, Marjolein G., playing live bassoon. The archives of Lokasenna ioc are finally empty, now the time is right for us to work on new material...a new sound...with an expanded line up.
