Three Houston men, Jake Carfield, Jason Barton and Vincent Sol Campos, formed the band iDreaminstereo, after discovering each other’s musical talents at work in the restaurant business. All three work for the Chuy’s Tex-Mex chain of restaurants in Humble and Houston and were friends first, then discovered shared musical talents.
Carfield sings lead vocals and is currently finding there is a steep learning curve with self-taught electric guitar. Barton plays guitar and does back beats, along with Sol Campos, whose roles include piano, bass and acting as the group’s manager.
The three bonded over their love of music and once they found that Carfield could carry a tune, the band was set in motion. Their musical influences are broad, ranging from the Beatles to new wave bands like MGMT, the Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie.
“The age of technology in music moves fast and we have spent a lot of time teaching ourselves new methods and making cool sounds and music that people may have never heard before,” said Carfield.
iDreaminstereo is still local, playing at restaurants and local charity events, but really hope that playing a large audience at the rodeo, where people may not have heard their music before, could project their band into a larger market.
The group plans on releasing an EP/demo of six songs in the next few months and will be playing more shows in 2011 throughout the Houston area.
iDreaminstereo will be playing at the Humble Rodeo BBQ cook-off on Saturday, Feb. 5. To hear some of their songs, learn more about the band or for contact information, visit www.facebook.com/idreaminstereo.
