I am Andrew C, and I write and record these songs. I then dress them up with several other sounds. I have only ever played one show. With some friends on the night I graduated from college. We covered "Tugboat" by Galaxie 500 and "Amen" by Spacemen 3, and I was feeling a little ill, for I had a cold. Regardless, ribaldry and mirth were the orders of the evening and much fun was had by all.
I will probably play some shows at some point, but I do not know if I would like to now that I am older. It was very easy in high school, when friends hosted rock and roll shows. Then, one could get by on chops or charm alone. Now people demand both. And also, back then, if nobody showed—hey, no big deal. Now if I play any show it will probably be at some bar, where many people will lose much money. We might all go home having spent too much on drinks, having had a very sad evening.

HARD LIVIN IN CHINA BY SAWYERStuff for you to buy now:
Two EP's by Andrew: a box of two tapes, with two color books of lyrics & collages.
"The ur-cassettes of modern you-name-it-core"
Very few left, and then they will be gone for ever.
Tape one: Andrew's "Animal Time (Family Time)" EP (2008-9). Feedbacky schlock from an overzealous young songsmith. All songs in 6/8 time, & key of D, except for one that is, as far as I can tell, in A. Guests are limited to Martin Courtney (of Real Estate and Pario Marty) on bass guitar, and Rutgers University masters candidate in Library Sciences Alex Tretiak (of Zombie Orgy) on drums of tape one, side A, track 2.///////////////////Tape two: Witch Elms' Secret Assid Fuckdrum EP (Before 2007-8 & Beyond). Taking it to the limit here, maxing out the value, folks. A compendium of non-hits and missteps from my the dusty pile of stuff in my dome to the dusty pile of stuff in your bedroom. (tiller tapes 00001&00002)
