Ampersand & the Ands

About Me

We have been compared to the audible equivalent of licking a nine volt battery and chasing it with an orange tootsie pop.
Some have said we are best described as Basement Rock...
Because its kind of like Garage Rock...
But a little more underground
Its also been called "Junk Rock",... (Jam-Punk)
It is still undecided whether any of this is a good thing or not.
Ampersand & The Ands - " Communal Cart" @ Spike Hill

So more and more often I am hearing from people.
"So your not really a band, You just have a drummer?"
Unfortunately the Phish of the world aren't in the majority and having some one who can play on the border of precognition isn't very common. Jamming requires every musician to be on the same page and in a different book simultaneously. Improv is not knowing exactly where you are headed or where you just were. All the while sitting on the edge of anarchy with the threat of the entire song falling apart. So yes, a two piece is odd... But it sure makes the premise of not know what will happen next a little more reassuring.
