innerpartysystem is a United States rock band. In live performance, the group consists of Patrick Nissley, Jared Piccone, Kris Barman and Jesse Cronan.cite web|title=Official InnerPartySystem MySpace|url=http://www.myspace.com/innerpartysystem|accessdate=2008-06-09] Explaining the origins of the band name, Piccone is quoted as saying: "In George Orwell's '1984' social classes were defined as the inner party, outer party, and the working class. It sounds really 'holier than thou' when you say it, we're really not this full of ourselves, but we liked the idea of creating this full, multimedia, over-stimulating, elitist environment that we were trying to invite everyone into. It's the ironic elitist class." cite web|title=Strange Glue Showcase: Innerpartysystem|url=http://www.strangeglue.com/interviews/showcase-innerpartysystem-interview-and-music-/2093|accessdate=2008-06-19] Their debut EP "The Download EP" was released in November 2007 and their debut self-titled album in late September 2008.

History

2000-2007

Before singer Patrick Nissley and drummer Jared Piccone started the group outfit Innerpartysystem, both of them were in Reading, creating the emo band Thirteen Over Eight. Piccone joined in 2000, a few years after their inception. Though the group enjoyed a nice local response, things didn't take off until the two started the electronic-inspired The Takeover, which later changed into Innerpartysystem. Kris Barman creates beats, plays guitar and synth and Jesse Cronan is on keyboard. The band signed to Stolen Transmission (headed by Sarah Lewitinn, credited for helping bands like My Chemical Romance and The Killers reach mainstream charts) in May 2007. "Heart of Fire" was played during the 2007 MTV VMAs in September [ [http://www.target.com/gp/detail-tab-popup.html/ref=in_de_detail-item-tab-struct/601-3274388-2155335?ie=UTF8&parentStoreItem=&asin=B0019M83GQ&tabToSelect=description Target.com Band Description - 2007 VMAs ] ] just before the band released The Download EP a couple of months later.cite web|title=AOL Music, InnerPartySytem Biography|url=http://music.aol.com/artist/innerpartysystem/biography/696792|accessdate=2008-06-09]
