About: Stone Iris is a brotherhood of like-minded musicians. Playing music everyday and touring are what they live and breathe for. From humble beginnings in Edmonton, Canada, their initial brand of music, a fusion of blues rock with a hint of reggae was created. From there, a common dream was followed and Stone Iris has been blazing their own trail ever since.
Consistent touring, busking, jamming and writing, have allowed the undeniable, yet un-classifiable spectacle known as Stone Iris to fearlessly pursue their craft and passion. With a love for performing, their live show is as honest and original, as it is part of who and what they are. Driven by groove, it makes you move.
Much is in store for Stone Iris in the coming year; including extensive touring, two full length albums and plenty of video footage, so keep your eyes and ears open!

BIO:
Most high school friends can’t even stand to look at each other once school’s out, but in the case of vocalist Rob “Rawrb” Kersey and guitarist Josh “The J” Key, they decided to spend even more time together after graduation.
Harnessing their crazy sense of humor and love of all things metal, they joined forces with drummer Alex “Shmalex” Dontre and bassist Matty J “Moose” to create Pyschostick, a band they’ve coined as humorcore. With hilarious lyrics, heavy riffs, notorious stage antics and high-energy performances, the band has caused millions of laughs around the world and hundreds of mosh pits across the US, often simultaneously, since its birth in Phoenix, AZ in 2000.
Almost 100 percent do-it-yourself, Psychostick never strays from its signature sound, a combination of heavy music Chimaira, Machine Head and Hatebreed would be proud of and wit and humor that would make Tenacious D and Weird Al Yankovic holler with laughter.
With two full-length albums behind them – “We Couldn’t Think of a Title” and “Sandwich” – the band released their latest record, “Space Vampires VS Zombie Dinosaurs in 3D,” in 2011, following it up with a tour with Mushroomhead to add to their total count of 21 nationwide tours that have hit 47 states.
