IllScarlett (styled as illScarlett; ) is a Canadian rock and reggae band.〔(IllScarlett Biography )〕 Their sound can be defined as pop infused rock reggae. They have made a name for themselves in the Canadian music scene and are making their name known throughout the United States and around the world. Their most prominent influence is California-based band Sublime. The band found their break when they decided to play outside the 2004 Vans Warped Tour venue in front of fans waiting in line to get in. Kevin Lyman, the Warped Tour organizer and co-owner of Warcon Enterprises, noticed them and invited them to play at his personal barbecue. Subsequently, they were offered spots on the tour for the following two years. IllScarlett has five major studio albums: ''ILLP'', ''Clearly in Another Fine Mess'', ''All Day With It'', ''1UP!'', and most recently ''illScarlett''. Their newest album ''illScarlett'' was released on September 2, 2014, and features their new single ''Down for Whatever''.〔http://www.illscarlett.com/〕 The album ''All Day With It'' reached gold status in Canada. ==History== Initially meeting in high school, Iona Catholic Secondary School, Swavek Piorkowski and Alex Norman had played in several bands while teenagers. Alex, who was working at a skateboarding shop at the local mall, befriended Daniel Krolikowski at work one day and two months later, the three had begun jamming as a trio. IllScarlett was born after the guys named the band after a local street in Mississauga, named Will Scarlett Drive, which the band later edited to ill Scarlett Drive as a prank. Later, Alex, Daniel, and Swavek began to seek members and found guitarist Will Marr and disc jockey Pat Kennedy. The first show the band did was at the Horseshoe Tavern with John Doherty, son of singer Denny Doherty, on the guitar (he later replaced Daniel Krolikowski on bass) in Toronto.T After many performances at small venues, illScarlett went into the studio to record their first demo called the Five Dollar Demo. The demo was recorded at Metalworks Studios in Mississauga, Ontario. In 2004, the band released a full-length CD titled ''iLLP''. Shortly after the release of ''ILLP'', the band performed in the parking lot for the 2004 Vans Warped Tour in Barrie, Ontario. They weren't actually scheduled to play inside the venue, but they set up their equipment beside the line where people were waiting to get into Park Place for the concert. IllScarlett played an hour and a half set for the concertgoers. Within three songs, they got word from one of their friends that Sublime's old roadie who worked as tour security radioed the organizer of the Warped Tour, Kevin Lyman, telling him that there was a band sounding like Sublime playing in the parking lot powered by generators. Kevin Lynman, asked the band to play at his barbecue later that night and the band accepted his offer. After the band's performance at the barbecue, Lyman extended an invitation for the band to perform a few dates on the 2005 Vans Warped Tour. In September 2006, the band played at the inaugural Virgin Festival in Toronto. The band finished recording their first major-label album (''All Day with It'') in Los Angeles, California under the production of Matthew Wilder, producer of No Doubt's diamond ''Tragic Kingdom'' album. The new album was released on July 10, 2007 across North America. The album includes such hit songs such as "Who's Got It?", "Paradise Burning", and "Life of a Soldier". Also on the album are redone versions of the songs "Nothing Special", "NTF" (Next Time Forever), "Clearer Now", and Pacino. IllScarlett toured Canada, Japan, Germany, the United States, and throughout Europe, promoting the album ''All Day with It''. On September 29, 2009 the band released their follow-up album to ''All Day with It'' titled ''1UP!''. This album featured singles such as, ''Take it for Granted'' and ''Milkshakes & Razorblades''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IllScarlett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
