Details:
Like Athena from the head of Zeus, Ice Cream Socialists burst onto the Georgia music scene, seemingly fully formed. Playing their first gig ever in December 2005 at Atlanta’s Variety Playhouse, the band opened for Tegan and Sara (accordion player Talia Bromstad is a cousin of the Canadian duo). Despite being completely unknown, the band impressed the crowd with their melodic, rambunctious sound.

Ice Cream Socialists hail from Athens, GA, and follow in the same complex musical tradition for which the town is known. By early 2006, bolstered by a strong fan base and local critical acclaim, the band began working on their debut album with local recording legend Chris Bishop (Elf Power, Mendoza Line, Masters of the Hemisphere). The resulting album, Belles and Missiles, is as easy to dance to as it is hard to categorize. Unabashedly pop, but refusing to be bound by traditional three-chord progressions, the songwriting is akin to the Mates of State, with some Architecture in Helsinki and They Might Be Giants thrown in for good measure. Lush orchestrations incorporate piano, violin, and accordion into the traditional guitar, bass, and drums line up. Between the unconventional song writing, anthemic choruses, and layered instrumentation, a glorious new chaos ensues. Hold onto your head.

“Ice Cream Socialists also play up campy musical numbers with a raucous cabaret vibe, like a cherry vanilla Dresden Dolls blended with chocolate coated clusters of Flash to Bang Time, sugary Rocky Horror crumbles and a Venice Is Sinking swirl…”
