Some bands do things in the strangest order. There seems to be no logic behind anything they do. But hey, things work, so why would they stop? Emocore loudmouths San Andreas are the absolute limit if it comes to being bang out of order. They booked a UK tour before they even had songs! Half a year later they booked the longest UK tour by a Dutch band in 2005: three consecutive weeks, checking out every pub and club in Albion. They applied for South by Southwest and got an invitation to go there before anybody at home in Holland had ever heard about them.
At home for the annual Noorderslag music conference they didn't get a regular invitation for a slot at the showcase festival. What's a band to do then? Well, they talked themselves into a live radio and internet show to play a set at the same location, which is a proper Noorderslag showcase as well. Smart asses, they are. San Andreas is all about adventure and taking chances that nobody else would have noticed. They simply don't see barriers at all.
The music is without compromise as well. What you see, is a bunch of totally over the top young men with enormous bravado. There's no way around them really. Guitarists like mad axe men cross the stage from left to right. The drummer is keeping up the beat as if there's no tomorrow. And then there's that singer, Stephan Sopo, a born entertainer who runs all over the place while pulling photographers on stage to take pictures of the wild crowds. Since July 2004, the band has played in a lot of different countries including the United Kingdom and the United States. They supported bands such as Aiden, Emanuel and Colour of Fire and represented themselves at the South by Southwest convention in Austin, Texas. Always progressing and always doing as much as they can as fast as they can, these young men are dedicated, very dedicated to their music.
At this very moment San Andreas is recording their new album which will be released early 2008. Producer will be Rene 'Cooper' van der Zee and Erik Schurman will be engineer.
