Sleeping Kings of Iona

![QuickTime Movie](../../../quicktime_icon.gif)
Buffalo’s maestros of the beep beep and blip blip are out to add some sonic atmosphere and texture to your Friday night. Sleeping Kings of Iona have put together a makeshift avant dance party highlighted by their brand of shoegazey electronic music along with DJ sets from like-minded friends Besnyo and Output Message. With Iona founding member Chris Groves recently departing the fold, a stream-lined SKOI quartet has been hard it in the studio putting together new material to follow up 2005’s unwieldy titled but excellent We Found A Love In The Streets But It Was Not Ours To Keep. You can hear what they’re up to courtesy of recent demos posted at their myspace page: www.myspace.com/sleepingkingsofiona. The show is at 9pm on Friday (June 22) at Soundlab.
