Sleeping Kings of Iona

Sleeping Kings of Iona come from the city of Buffalo in the state of New York. It is a city known mostly for its ever-changing weather. It can be said that Sleeping Kings of Iona are known mostly for their ever-changing sound. What started out as a jangly guitar driven, shimmering post-rock five piece, evolved into something more beat oriented, more electronic. Just something more.

There are four people that make up this band. Their first names are Joey, Chris, Molly, and Ray. Their last names are not that important. For the past year and a half the band has been joined by their good friend and recording engineer Mark Nosowicz. He is the band's unstated fifth member, playing live drums and percussion during Sleeping Kings of Iona's performances.

The members of this band love each other and they love the music that they make. This is most likely why they are an ever-changing band. They care about what they play and they want to play it for as many people as possible. They want to always grow in their creativity and never get stuck. They want to make mistakes, learn from them, and be better because of them. They’re not trying to get people to like them. They just feel that people will once they hear them. They make music that makes them happy and hope to put smiles on the hearts of all those they meet. They want to do this as soon as they can, while they're still young and somewhat optimistic, then they want to do it all over again.

Sleeping Kings of Iona have played with Mogwai, the Rapture, Cooper Temple Clause, Mono, Calla, Now It’s Overhead, and Growing. They find influences in their friends, in films they watch, in sounds they hear, and in things they see and feel.

They say thank you for reading and take care of yourself.
