Doubling Down?

Live in Santa Barbara

NUKU NUKU

You're alone in the desert when you come upon a train with no wheels and no tracks.  The night sky is unfamiliar and the air is getting colder.  The small pack of coyotes that was trailing behind you earlier has become an army of hungry, flashing eyes in the dark.  You board that train.  The late night train to Mojave.

SIGHED AFFECTS

Dive into sweet audio nectar derived from combinations of vocal harmonies fused with saxophones, acoustic & electric guitars, synthesizers & bass.  Pull up a folding chair and watch the sunset in paradise as you let the music take you on an existential journey that will feel both familiar and foreign.  

     BINARY ICON officially formed as a name for a band on a warm and windy summer evening in 1992 at InnerSpace Records Studio, a modified 130 year-old stage-coach station in Montecito, California.   When Ian Renga and Wiley Thrasher tried sounding-out different band names and nothing clicked they decided to each open the dictionary in a random manner and point at a word without looking at the page.  

     Once we found the two randomly picked words we guessed at their meaning:  Since music and the music icons of the future would be relying heavily on Digital to work effectively with synthesizers and acoustic instruments it sort of made sense to be called BINARY ICON.
