irradio - (ir rod io) - the eu, or "I," form of the Portuguese verb, irradiare, meaning to shed light on; to illuminate. Simply put: "I illuminate." "What does irradio mean?" is the most frequently asked question of this four-piece sonic shape-shifting band from San Diego, CA. The group was formed in 1999 by its fist-in-the-air frontman Dan Dasher and guitar-wielding co-founder Paolo Zuñiga. Dasher brings an interesting blend of chant-shouting and singing over his trademark catchy guitar riffs, while Zuñiga provides the perfect balance and counter melodies of this unique guitar team. The rhythm section of drummer Collin Tuthill and bass-guitarist Rick Blaire (replacing Anthony Rogers-Wright) rounds out the fresh sound of the band. Tuthill provides an unbreakable foundation of rhythm which allows Blaire to incorporate thumping bass lines coalesced with melodic contours and tasty sound effects that facilitate a danceable grooviness which defies classification when united with the quirky guitar work. irradio currently have two full-length releases to their credit, 2002's Semantic Noise and 2004's Make-up for the Inaugurated. Their upcoming third album, tentatively titled Sexy Wolf, is set to drop in late 2006.
