Gothic Theatre
Irradio
What do you get when you take a soft-spoken archaeologist, his aloof, intellectual brother, an indie-rocker with boy band looks, a magic-fingered hip-hop kid and a charismatic front man whose presence is as electrifying as Chernobyl? If you’re Lou Pearlman you’ve got the most anomalous hit-making machine yet to hit the wallets of American suburbia. But if you throw in a diverse array of musical talent and make them look like the prom dates of the girls from “Facts of Life” then you’ve got irradio.
irradio was formed in San Diego in 1999 to help fill the need for dynamic and original music. Upon forming, the eclectic group immediately combined their backgrounds in rock, jazz and punk to generate a fiercely new sound, which has stunned audiences both in their live performances and through their first studio album, “Semantic Noise,” released on Lola Records in 2002.
irradio is Dan Dasher on guitar and lead vocals, Paulo Zuniga on guitar and vocals, Chad Tuthill on bass and vocals, Collin Tuthill on drums and percussion, and Edgar Alminar on keyboards and samples. Together they create a new sound with their dynamic mix of post-punk and the unmistakable San Diego sound.
They share Green Party friendly views emphasizing community, urgency and preservation but their personalities are all over the map. Their lives have taken very different paths … but their goal is the same: they want to play in your town, in front of you, and share all the experiences that music and revolution has to offer. They have already toured the U.S. and plan to tour the world non-stop and hope to see you soon!
“Our production would be so many mirrors reflecting our nature. What happens so far as I am concerned would also apply to you” — Karl Marx, Notes of 1844
