Hailing from Hawai‘i and currently calling Santa Barbara home, Iration have the ability to mix different genres of music, creating a unique sound that’s part beachy island reggae, part rock ’n’ roll. After moving to Santa Barbara to attend school a few years ago, the five friends decided to create a band in which they could play music influenced by what they listened to — in their case, everything from the pop to the reggae they were bumping back in Hawai‘i.
Lately, Iration have been keeping busy away from Santa Barbara and their biggest fans in Isla Vista. Just last April, they went on tour with Pepper, and in October the guys will be headlining their first show at the famous Roxy Theatre in Hollywood. Currently, the band are touring California, just finishing a mini-tour with fellow Isla Vistans Rebelution last weekend. In addition, the guys will be releasing an EP, titled Sample This, in early October.
As for playing at the West Beach Music Festival again, Iration are just excited to be invited back a second time and they hope to continue the tradition. “It is an honor to play on the same day as George Clinton and other successful artists,” said guitarist and vocalist Micah Pueschel. “Our music comes from personal influences and what we listen to, and we are happy that people are into it.” Well, Iration, we are happy to listen.
