IOWA (Russian: Айова), is a Belarusian-Russian music group (trio).[1]

The name IOWA is a reference to the music album Iowa by American metal band Slipknot: early in her career, vocalist Ekaterina Ivanchikova experimented with heavy music and was nicknamed after the Iowa album. Another interpretation of the name is that it comes from the American idiom IOWA (Idiots Out Wandering Around). It also has a direct bearing on the American state of Iowa, where many people are farmers and all the shops close early, so the people who live there have no choice but to hang around and find entertainment elsewhere.

In 2008, vocalist Ekaterina Ivanchikova sang in the musical The Prophet by Ilya Oleynikov.[2]

IOWA was formed in 2009 in Mogilev. In 2010, after a series of concerts in St. Petersburg, the group decided to move to St. Petersburg, where the band members live today. The band's producer is Oleg Baranov.
