Combining mutual influences from shoegaze, orchestral pop and indie rock, the four members of I AM STEREO have created a shining debut that caught the attention of famed producer/mixer KRAMER. Swirling
vibraphone and rhodes electric piano sit atop solid songwriting and
catchy melodies. The spacious guitars of RIDE and the space-age pop of
AIR will come to mind when listening to the five song E.P. from this
South Florida band. A full-length record will be available in the Fall
of 2006 and will continue the path toward mixing current music trends
with the garage pop of 60s bands like THE KINKS, and FREE DESIGN, and
modern revivalists like the LILYS and SLOAN.
All the
members of I Am Stereo have done their time toiling in local bands --
but now they are the ones throwing the rock 'n' roll parties.
Drummer Steve Copeletti, guitarist/vocalist Adam Rosenberg,
guitarist/synth Jon Wilkins and bassist Brian Hill are all South
Florida pros. Copeletti and Wilkins are aka DJ Sloan and DJ Grand Theft
Auto in their spare time, spinning at indie rock parties like PopScene
at Dada. They have all known each other for a while, but just six
months ago came together to form I Am Stereo. Their sound is '60s
psychedelic mixed with today's indie pop. "Like Velvet Underground and
Syd Barrett meets the New Pornographers," Copeletti said. -- Liza Hearon Feb 3, 2006 Copyright © 2006, South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Biography
"From the ashes of the Parisian prog-rock scene comes a super group of titanic proportions. With ex members of Crimson Wheel, The Gargoyles, TranSiberian Monolith, and Eiffel Power. All these disparate influences grind together to create a very tasty musical chum, worthy of any great white shark willing to swim through bouts of hyperbolic fantasies and the abject ridicule of rock 'n' roll's mourners. With twists and turns most associated with bands like Chasburry Farm, Tomato Freakout, and the legendary German fusion combo Die Esel, the wicked ways of I AM STEREO fall somewhere between the death be-bop of the Zeppelin Brigade and the epoch-making collaborations of Rogers & Hammerstein."
Guy Arsenault
I Am Stereo is focusing on recording right now, with one EP in the works.
"We're playing mostly at shows that we put on, to keep up our chops. Hopefully we'll have two EPs out before the end of the year," Copeletti said.
