Seminal Long Island Quartet Iridesense Releases “A Trip Called Life”; first Disc in Six Years

Merrick, NY – In January 1993, Iridesense was assembled to play then High Schooler Rick Eberle’s 12th Grade Battle of The Bands with Rick on guitar and vocals, his sister Tara Eberle on Bass, Rob Viccari on Lead Guitar and Rich Drouin on drums. What a difference over a decade makes! The past 14 years have seen the band go from these humble beginnings to becoming a force in the music business; plus the female lead singer and the drummer are now even married!

TV? Their music can currently be heard on Nickelodeon in the shows Zoey 101 (featuring Jaime Lynn Spears) and Drake & Josh. They’ve also been featured on MTV shows such as Pimp My Ride, Room Raiders, NEXT and on an episode of the show “Boiling Points”.

Contests? Iridesense was a semi finalist in the Q104.3 Mojito Band Search, in the Shift 2 Nissan Battle of the Bands, and were also semi finalists (top 20 out of 1000’s of entries nationwide) in the National “Be A Radio Star” Competition where they recieved 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.

Big Gigs? They’ve played for 13,000 sports fans as between period entertainment at a New York Islanders NHL game, played sold out engagements with Spin Doctors, Something Corporate and  Gin Blossoms at the now defunct The Downtown in Farmingdale, and their performance for the nationwide Verizon FiOs Festival had a corresponding web video contest online for the song “Gasoline”  - check out the winning video on Youtube.

On this Tuesday in June, they proudly release ” A Trip Called Life” - and it’s truly history in the making.
