This is Ivy League




This is Ivy League is an Indie band formed in 2005 in Brookyln. The band was started by Ryan Blackinton and Alex Suarez. Now, if those names don’t sound familiar to you let me refresh your memory. The year is 2006, it’s a hot summer (you may or may not be learning a foreign language lakeside in a place called Dent). The internet has released news of a movie featuring Samuel L. Jackson entitled “Snakes on a plane”(that’s right, mother fucking snakes, on a mother fucking plane). How could one possibly advertise such a movie? With a song like Bring it (Snakes on a Plane) –times are strange, we got a free upgrade for snakes on a plane. But this is not about Cobra Starship. The duo of Blackinton and Suarez were sent up to the international music scene with that hit, and This is Ivy League was not forgotten. In 2008, Twentyseven Records released This is Ivy League’s CD. They have a light pop/folk element similar to that of bands such as Of Montreal, or Harlem Shakes, but vary in their own way. They also have a feel good vibe that can’t let you down. Experience it for yourself with London Bridges, but also check out the rest of their music. As always, let the music speak for itself. Who really reads any of this anyway?
