"The Icehouse Collective is the title given to the combined efforts of one individual who exists in the desolate wasteland many refer to as Capital Land, New York. Perched slightly north of Albany; a city known for “kegs and eggs” and not much else, Cohoes is where you will find an honest to god Mom & Pop corner store, a handful of aggressive bands like Born Low & Trife Life, and the aptly named DIY show space The Icehouse (which used to be an actual Icehouse before being turned into a home). In that refrigerator/mansion lives a young man named Kory Gregory. Unlike many of us, Kory grew out of the embarrassing mall punk phase before his middle school graduation, skipped “the scene years” entirely and has a refined musical palette many twenty-somethings fresh off the Bachelor degree boat would envy to have in their high school days.

To cope with living in a cultural void (and with his complete and utter lack of a driver’s license) he began offering up his living room to bands he listens to endlessly in the bedroom built above his garage with the permission and support of his family. Many bands like Spraynard, Weatherbox, Waxahatchee, The Hotelier, The Sidekicks, Mikey Erg, Signals Midwest , State Lines, lovechild (and way too many more to list) were lured in with the promise of a show & a basketball hoop built into the wall of the house. Every band that has entered has left with the sentiment of “holy shit, this is the greatest place on planet Earth” and with their names written on the wall of the rec-room Kory’s father stores his vinyl record collection in, a collection which easily spans into the thousands. Some lucky artists have stayed the night in The Icehouse and have battled The Ice Prince in Mario Kart as well as filmed Icehouse Sessions in various parts of his luxurious home, including the hot tub.
