For a band compared to classic acts such as Simon & Garfunkel and Belle & Sebastian, it may seem unusual for the duo to have so many tween fans. Certainly many of the band's young supporters have arrived by way of Suarez and Blackinton's main vocation as bassist and guitarist for pop sensation Cobra Starship which has amassed some 10,000,000 MySpace plays on the heels of numerous MTV appearances.

Fans of This Is Ivy League can now revel in the perfect-pop that is the duo's first long player which features the mega smash hit song "London Bridges". The accompanying video for the tune has already been singled out by Pitchdork which said,"...the clip creates and sustains a soft-focus weirdness, borrowing all the elements you'd expect from a postmillennial Chad & Jeremy -- blazers, bicycles, merry-go-rounds, a park in autumn-- while adding a few new flourishes-- women in animal costumes, gently evocative use of color and pattern. Alex Suarez and Ryan Blackinton croon their crisp harmonies, finishing each other's sentences and riffs, nearly symmetrical as they perform atop their pedestals for the animal woman."

Anyone missing out on This Is Ivy League's performance at the Knitting Factory can catch the band again on April 17th at Sound Fix Records in Brooklyn where the group will perform with another Fanatic favorite, Freddie Stevenson. Spot dates will follow, after which Suarez and Blackinton will reconvene with Cobra Starship for a summer slot on this year's Warped Tour.
