Ishi: A Texas Band Not to Miss

It’s very difficult these days to find electronic music that feels striking and fresh but the Dallas, Texas band Ishi does just that, creating songs that are incredibly well crafted, which feel bold and daring. Ishi performed a great show at The Linen Building for this year’s Treefort Music Festival and they'll be playing a show at the Neurolux presented by Duck Club on August 8th that's surely not to be missed. The band definitely has an 80′s and 90′s influence that comes across quite vividly throughout their elaborate songs. Just a minute into one of their songs you’ll find yourself dancing wildly to their wonderfully catchy beats. 

I became very interested in Ishi when I first saw them perform at an event last year and I immediately wanted to hear more of them. I was suddenly captivated by the band’s style, their lyrics, and their terrific sense of interacting with their audience. The crowd went wild at both of their shows here in Boise and I hope that even more people will become aware of them soon. The band’s creative use of drum machines and synthesizers feels wonderfully exciting and their abilities as a band exceed those of other electronic groups making music today.

Both indie styles and mainstream aspects are combined into the band’s fun and lively tunes which make their appeal grow to many different types of listeners. Finding good music can be insanely tough nowadays with such an array of deposable garbage out there in the music world but Ishi is a one of a kind band that surely satisfies your craving for energetic, exciting dance music. Check out their album 'Digital Wounds' to hear just how great they are and don't miss their show on August 8th at The Neurolux! I asked the leader of the group, John Mudd, some questions about his influences and experiences playing and writing music.
