History

ITCHY-O's first EP, Inferno!, was released 2011 and their first full-length LP, Burn the Navigator, was released in September, 2014. Both works were engineered by Bob Ferbrache (Slim Cessna's Auto Club, 16 Horse Power, and Devotchka). In 2014, the band signed with the iconic label, Alternative Tentacles.

In 2013, LockerPartners produced a short documentary on the band titled, Dark Junk and Light. The documentary was selected as a finalist for the International Documentary Challenge and was featured at the Hot Docs International Documentary Film Festival in Toronto, Canada.

ITCHY-O has performed at events such as Riot Fest, Film on the Rocks at Red Rocks Amphitheater, Austin's Art Outdoors festival, the Stanley Film Festival, Tucson's All Souls Procession, San Francisco's Day of the Dead Festival, Atlanta's Goat Farm and Denver's Biennial of the Americas. They have played on stage with David Byrne & St. Vincent, and shared bills with Devo, Beats Antique, Warlock Pinchers, Extra Action Marching Band, The Melvins, March Fourth, and many others.

ITCHY-O has performed at the world-renowned horror-fantasy festival, Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas three years in a row (2015-2017) and played four centerpiece shows in Hobart, Tasmania at MONA FOMA's wintertime festival, Dark MOFO.
