after playing one show as rollercoaster of love, the next step was a full length cd, composed of ten tracks, featuring all the old songs as well as some new additions, also recorded in tim's basement. kyle chiefly provided vocals, recorded in dan's bathroom, while tim and dad provided a little backup. in order to fill out the recordings, james cox provided the bass tracks, and eventually became a full time member of the group. wanting to be taken a little more seriously, the band decided to change their name to andrea. andrea began playing shows regularly resulting in a few tipped hats, a few disgusted faces, and general confusion across the board.
due to various conflicts, tim ditzler left the group. tim seifarth, who drummed in james' other band Dim the Lights, stepped in and recorded a new EP with the band, which featured a few renditions and a few new songs. it became the band's latest and finest work to date. the four played shows for a while, took a break, then played another show or two, and then took another break.
kyle has since decided to leave the band to pursue his passion for drum playing in his upcoming band, "appalachia." check them out when you get a chance, and be sure to mop up your face when you've finished listening. taking kyle's place will be james david, a veteran artist of both the visual and literary. right now the band is putting pieces together and preparing for a resurrection, which should feature a few interesting surprises.
