Analog Jetpack

the modern face of retro-futurism

About Me

Analog Jetpack is a three-piece indie-rock innovation that makes music fly. Assembled in the District of Columbia in 2005, the band features Rob Getzschman on guitar and vocals, Dan Ryan on bass, and Robby Sahm on drums. The band's depth of experience includes Getzschman's five solo albums, Ryan's formal jazz and classical training, and Sahm's years playing live drum and bass with the Bam Sequence. Currently Getzschman is also promoting a new solo album, while Ryan and Sahm provide the grooves for DC's Le Loup .


Analog Jetpack's debut And How They Flew will be released officially on November 27th in a limited-edition floppy disk packaging. Produced by Jerome Maffeo of Right On Recording in Baltimore, the album features Matt Jones of Jimmie's Chicken Shack and Spencer Chakedis of Deep Sound Diver, trading licks on lead guitars.
