Welcome To the Honest Iago Music Collective
Bio
Honest Iago formed in 2004, and have deliberately maintained a rotating membership since their inception. Its members, who often prefer to remain anonymous (“often” meaning except for shows, so that listeners focus on the music, not their personalities), invite others to join them for concerts, so that the sound is constantly changing, never giving audiences the same show twice.
Each song centers on a character and his or her story as seen through the eyes of Iago, our narrator (taken from Shakespeare’s Othello). In the baroque/classical tradition, piano and strings are prevalent, giving the songs, which are punk tracks at heart, a unique texture and widely palatable flavor.
These separate stories, when completed in entirety, will combine to create the world Iago inhabits, a mirror of our own. Members have participated from far and wide, one contributing piano tracks from Las Vegas, another mailing electronic beats from Paris, yet Southern California will always be thought of as home to the three mainstays, as many lyrical references to Los Angeles and San Diego make clear.
Please enjoy the track posted, and help garner some attention for Honest Iago, who are bringing something original and colorful to a monotone rock world, and hopefully blurring the lines between popular and “serious” music.
