The current incarnation of echostream began playing in Fall of 2006, although the backbone of the band, Tony and Ryoko, have been making music together since before then.
echostream’s debut album “Identity” was released in 2005. It is a mostly ambient studio album, recorded and produced by Tony with the help of a few other musicians. This album includes a completely electronic cover version of the famous Radiohead song, “Creep”, as well as echostream’s original “Just Kill Me” and “Shadow on the Cloud”. This last song was made into a music video by Mark Miremont. Shot completely in the post-Katrina ruins of New Orleans’ Ninth Ward, the video is a sobering reminder of the power of nature.
The band’s second album, “The Duality of Courage” is a heavier, more energized offering, and features all of the current band members: Tomo, Jen, and CJ. This album features fan favorites such as “Dragon,” “What You Are,” and “Way Forward.”
echostream can be seen live on stage at various festivals around the United States, and in smaller venues around their home territory, the Northeast.
