Don't be fooled by Io Echo. With their murky, shadowy sound and grunge-goth look, this sister-brother duo might seem dark. But thanks to Ioanna Gika's crisp, cheeky vocals and Leopold Ross's booming guitar, this L.A. pair is just too good to be pigeon-holed into only one genre. We're not the only ones who think so: they've already shared the stage with Florence and the Machine, Hot Chip, La Roux, and Nine Inch Nails. Not bad for a band who hasn't even released their debut album yet. Meet Io Echo below.
Duo Leopold Ross and Ioanna Gika - aka Io Echo - played their debut UK performances playing with The Drums after spending the past year touring the US with the likes of Florence and the Machine, La Roux and The Big Pink (for whom Leopold plays bass.) As well as opening Nine Inch Nails final ever show, Io Echo released their first single as a vinyl-only imprint on LA's IAMSOUND Records. Now working on their debut album with songs like 'Shanghai Girls' and 'When the Lillies Die', expect a modern take on sounds harking back to Siouxsie Sioux, Joey Ramone, and Patti Smith.
What has it been — more than two years since Io Echo began mesmerizing L.A. audiences with its haunting, Goth-tinged shoegaze? The duo of Leopold Ross and Ioanna Gika took their act on the road before it was really fully formed, but they've spent the past year supporting the likes of Florence + the Machine, La Roux and the Big Pink (for whom Ross plays bass). |
