Icy Demons is an experimental music project started by Bablicon’s Griffin Rodriguez (credited as Blue Hawaii) and Man Man / Need New Body’s Christopher Powell (Pow Pow). A project of various Chicago musicians, they have released three albums, Fight Back! on the Elephant 6-associated label Cloud Recordings. Tears of a Clone on the Eastern Developments Music, and in 2007 Miami Ice on Easel (Japan release only).
Demons can be seen as a continuation of the Canterbury Scene which involved acts like Soft Machine and Robert Wyatt. They do however move forward into new ground by mixing this Canterbury style with a noticeable Krautrock influence, especially that of Can. Some melodic lines and rhythmic patterns are strongly reminiscent of Frank Zappa’s compositions. Other similar acts include Aksak Maboul, Pit Er Pat, Pop-Off Tuesday, Lightning Bolt, and Cheer Accident.

I saw them last night, and I have to say, their live show was outright amazing - they even outdid the headliners! I love the intensity of the show and the 8-bit emphasis. I can't wait to see them around Chicago again.

I just saw them last night before of Montreal. I was unfamiliar with them before, but I fell in love. They are so awesome! I bought Miami Ice at the merch, and Griffin handed it to me himself. He was really gracious.
