Poison Ivy League

Since early 2000, Jack Dourakos and Joe Orlowski have been fine tuning their hard hitting rock machine The Poison Ivy League. Combining hefty rock riffs with a songwriting knack for the pop hook, Poison Ivy League finds a home nestled somewhere between the Melvins and the New Pornographers. The sound is dense with thick guitars that glisten a Helmet-like sheen, topped with a syrupy sweetness of My Bloody Valentine, and eaten with the intense ferocity of the Pixies. Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, PIL have been packing clubs in both NYC and Boston. The live show experiece features three part harmonies backed by blistering guitar, thunderous bass and propulsive drumming courtesy of the most dedicated drummer in all of New York, Dan Paquin. They signed to Filthy Schoolgirls in early 2005 and immediatley released a 4-song EP "The Future of Intamacy". They are currently working on their follow up, a full length to be released later this year.
