Sandia is a fusion/psychedelic/rock/experimental/visionary band with a wide variety of sounds. Focused on high-energy live performance, thought-provoking lyrics, intricate instrumental compositions and random spurts of improvisation, they are able to create a tasteful fusion of jazz, trip-hop, progressive rock, Latin, dub/reggae, Afrobeat, drum-n-bass, ambient noise, spazztic noise, etc., etc...
Art has always been a huge source of inspiration for Sandia. Their goal is to turn every show into an "Art Party". They are frequently joined onstage by good friend, DeS1o (Rhett Johnston), as well as the S.C.U.M. Of The Earth Artist Collective who paint live, creating what's referred to as, "Visual Interpretations of Music". Anyone with an artistic impulse is encouraged to bring their supplies and create during a live show! Sandia plans to take the "Art Party" on the road. Artist's support and as many volunteers for help with booking, street team work, or any other form of inspiration is greatly needed and appreciated! Let's unite and show ourselves what we're truly capable of!

Pending the new release "Melotonine" (release date coming soon), i decided to offer you a part of my best recent works in a free EP, "Cupboard Replacement", downloadable in all numeric formats with special graphic art works by Flint on Music AutOmatiK's Website :
We can stay in contact on facebook now... Thanks for your support !
Yo Sandiaasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
