D.I.G are a four member outfit consisting of some of Montreal's top live & session musicians, joining forces with indie singer/songwriter Daniel Iorio.

Their first CD together, "Hike", is a self-produced effort boasting 12 melodious tracks, chronicalling, rather whimsically, the trials and tribulations many artists endure to do what they love. Coupled with some themes touching on Buddhist tenets, existentialism, death, self-doubt, fear, metaphysics, realization & awareness, "Hike" manages to present itself as unassuming and without presumption.

"The record created itself" utters Iorio. "I had just come out of a 3 year indie deal that bore no fruit...Dan(Legault) opened a small project studio and, knowing what had happened with my deal, invited me over to bang off a few tracks for fun. The next thing you know, we have 20 tracks in the can, and an album we've always wanted to make. It kind of crept up and bit us in the arse." admits the Montreal singer/songwriter, who also co-produced the effort with Legault.

"Hike" is slated for an August 2008 release.
