Space Agency is George Miller (guitar/vocals), Adam
Groom (bass/vocals) and Shawn Drogan (acoustic and
electronic drums/samples). The band has been around
for a short time and has already become one of the
top draws in their hometown. Hard work and many long
nights have gained them a growing fanbase around the
region and throughout the Northeast. Based in
Rochester, NY and traveling to wherever the music
takes them, this group is destined to reach the ears
of music fans everywhere.
Influenced by all styles of music, Space Agency uses
elements of Rock/Funk/Electronica to bring listeners
on a journey through sound and time. They create music
that bridges the past, present, and
future while performing in the moment. The result is a
sonic adventure of ambient textures and futuristic
soundscapes grounded by solid grooves
and unique vocals. Sounds of laser beams and movie
scenes transport the listener to distant planets. The
band achieves "lift off"
through intense, meaningful improvisation and has been
known to invite guest musicians to the stage to add
instruments such as
sitar and theremin for a completely different
experience. Space Agency's self-titled debut CD was
released in October and has received great reviews so
far as the band continues to tour in support.

Hey guys. Sounds great. Nice bass Adam! I wanted to let you know that I have released a new cd entitled ABC. It is a collection of 8 tracks covering rock, nu-jazz, experimental, and meditative music. It is a very diverse, yet cohesive album that is meant to lift you up, chill you out, and make you get down all at the same time. Stop by my site to check out some tracks. All songs are available as downloads from my page as well as JeremyLaursen.com. Let me know what you think.
Raise your glass... Here's to living life to the fullest, avoiding 9-5'ers and playing music until 5 in the morning, doing what you want to do with your life, instead of what you think you should do in order to make a paycheck... to having no regrets, washing down a cold beer from time to time and spending time basking in the sun. To taking a few waves on your longboard... and all the while, having music in the forefront of your passion - if you are one of these people, then you've found the right band!
Please check out our upcoming shows and join us for a fantastic night of original funky music!
