In a year which has seen the band play more than 150 shows, Ivan & Alyosha are currently touring in the Midwest with performances at the Pygmalion and Midpoint Music Festivals and will return to the West Coast with shows at The Echo in Los Angeles on October 5 and a hometown Seattle show at Columbia City Theater on October 7. I&A will be paired with The Watson Twins for several of these gigs.
The band's current release, Fathers Be Kind just showed up on Amazon's Best Music of 2011 Thus Far, with that EP's "I Was Born to Love Her" ranked at #4 on their Songs You May Have Missed round-up. This echoed the earlier inclusion of Fathers on NPR's Best of the Year (So Far) list.
They recently spent time in the studio working on material for their full-length debut album with producer Kevin Augunas (Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, Cold War Kids).
The boys also stopped by Seattle's KEXP studios to perform live on air for their hometown station. Take a listen at the link below, and get a sneak preview of the new song "God or Man". http://blog.kexp.org/blog/2011/07/21/live-video-ivan-alyosha/
