iWantJam Artist Spotlight: The Andromeda Project

[Dan Engel]

With a newly released music video and more and more live shows to
boast, Northern California group The Andromeda Project are a rising
rock group with a growing presence in the Cali rock scene. Growing up
in California, Michael Tiffany and Russ Torres - the members of the
band who write the majority of the music - were both heavily
influenced by the rock and pop circulating the air waves on Cali's
radio stations. However, their group contains members from a varied
age group, which injects a dose of diversity into their musical
sensibilities. Though Tiffany and Torres were the principle writers on
the self-titled first album, they indicated that the sophomore effort
"will be a more highly collaborated offering."

Although the group started off as a studio band, "live performances
are what we love to do" Tiffany told me enthusiastically in an
interview. After a "rocky transition" from studio to stage, The
Andromeda Project buckled down, practiced for months and months are
came back with a live sound they were proud of, though they're humble
enough to say it's an "ongoing effort." In response to the question of
what to expect at one of their shows, they say the live experience is
quite faithful to the studio sounds, though some pieces were adapted
for a "more dramatic effect." Lovers of the album won't be
disappointed, it seems, but they also will come away with something
fresh.

As The Andromeda Project continues to develop, they must try to keep
their heads above the insane torrent of new bands and artists that
seem to drown out many rock hopefuls. Torres seems confident that
their passion will shine through, "and only the future will show how
our love for music will materialize." With the freedom to pursue their
own vision without the constraints of marketing executives' desires,
The Andromeda Project aims to provide a rock experience that reflects
their drive to express themselves and makes them stand out. It's clear
after talking to them that their motivated and doing what they can to
leave a strong impression: "people want to see and hear and we want to
deliver."
