Ike Yard, between 1980 and 1983, hidden between the pulsing burn of halide streetlamps and shadowed voids of lower Manhattan, produced a sound that continues to resonate… jittery and parched, with throbbing subsonics; blasted, yet iced over a thousand times; an electrical charge whiplashing against the night. Here...gone.

Now in 2007, original band members Stuart Argabright, Kenneth Compton, and Michael Diekmann, as Ike Yard, are performing in New York for the first time in 25 years. Using images smeared and sliced, voices muttered or charged, electronics, shifting beats, and vibrating metal strings, Ike Yard communicates in broken parables, fragmented fictions, and inverted truths.

(Tres from Psychic Ills and Taketo Shimada) slowly shifting
repetitions, heavy monotone lowend and smoky echoes conjure unexpected
subsonic grooves. Look out for their 7" this summer on The Social
Registry (http://thesocialregistry.com).
