History

The Band Ice Cream formed in San Francisco, California in 2014 as "Ice Cream" consisting of Kevin Fielding (Toronto), Joseph Sample (Grand Rapids), Dylan Murray and Raphael DiDonato.[4] Their first EP We're Set was recorded by Mike Carnahan and released on January 15, 2015.[5] Songs "Wild" and "Surfer Girl" from the EP earned the band praise both locally in the Bay Area[6][7] and nationally[8][9] with The Deli Magazine listing We're Set in their 10 Best Bay Area Albums of 2015.[2] By the end of 2015 both DiDonato and Murray left the band and were replaced by Bryce Fernandez (O‘ahu) and Louis Rappoport on bass and drums.
