The summer of 2008 was a good one for Iridesense...
At the end of August 2008, the band played a great show at the Harry Chapin Theater at Eisenhower Park in support of our troops through the Playgroundz.net / USO “Long Island Rocks for Freedom” event. This was a dream gig for Rick & Tara, because growing up in nearby Merrick, they used to frequent the park’s grounds and always wanted to play this historic stage.
The band was featured on the cover of the Aural Fix July 2008 issue, which was widely distributed at the second annual Great South Bay Music Festival held at Shorefront Park in the highly artistic town of Patchogue.
In June 2008, the new CD entitled, "A Trip Called Life" was officially released!!! The record, on the Paradiddle Records label, contains songs that the band had been in the studio recording for the past several months. The band submitted this new batch of songs again to Nickelodeon, who licensed the music to appear in upcoming episodes of iCarly and Drake & Josh.
In 2007, Iridesense was a semi finalist in the Shift 2 Nissan Battle of the Bands. They licensed songs form their self titled cd to Nickelodeon, which can currently be heard on Nickelodeon in the shows Zoey 101 (featuring Jaime Lynn Spears - sister to Britney) and Drake & Josh.
Their previous cds include, a 1997 release "Cool Dream Tomorrow" on Rock Diva records, and a 2003 release "Iridesense" on LLJ Records) You can purchase tracks from all three cds on cdbaby or itunes.
In (2005) the band played regular dates in NYC, and all over Long Island including their monthly songwriter series at The Conklin Barn and headlining shows at the outdoor Chapin Rainbow Theatre in Huntington, Long Island. They also played a performance for the nationwide Verizon FiOs Festival (which had a corresponding web video contest online for the song "Gasoline"). Check it out on Youtube. The band was a featured performer for Fleet Week at Central Park Summerstage in NYC, and they had several TV and radio appearances in support of their Summer-Fall (2005) east coast tour including a taping of an episode of the MTV show "Boiling Points". They were also chosen as a Sponsored band by Sam Ash Music Stores.
In (2004) they played for 13,000 sports fans as between period entertainment at a New York Islanders NHL game, then played a sold out engagement with Something Corporate and another with Gin Blossoms. They were also semi finalists (top 20 out of 1000's of entries nationwide) in the National "Be A Radio Star" Competition where they received airplay in rotation at Z100 radio in NY in addition to a nationally broadcast radio interview with Elvis Duran from the Z Morning Zoo and Actress Amanda Bynes. They were prominently displayed on Newsday.com's Impulse nightlife section as the subject of a skit with the comedy series The Slack Pack, and finished a LIVE DVD EPK concert video at Streamring Networks of their song "Gasoline".
