Andromeda Sun Music

Andromeda Sun is an eclectic rock and roll experience conceived by the musical minds of Peter McCoid, 18, and Ian Harris, 19. Established in the summer of 2013, the duo has cultivated and refined their musical chemistry by improvising together on the instruments of their childhood, keyboard (Harris) and guitar (McCoid). After months of being an acoustic jam duo, the two of them channeled their musical ideas into their first original song together, Andromeda Sun. Both young musicians have written music and lyrics throughout their youth, but Andromeda Sun was the start of the Harris/McCoid writing duo, and inspired the name of the band. Their music writing, instrumental skills, and ideas have steadily grown since they started out, and they now have multiple albums worth of original material that they’re eager to record. Their self-titled debut album was released in August 2014, and produced by Grammy recipient Tiger Roberts at South End Studio in Portland, OR. This 6 song, 30-minute collection of original music takes the mind on a unique experience of classic rock influence through modern production, with themes of peace and consciousness written all over it. It is a quaintly powerful debut album to give the world a small taste of what Andromeda Sun has to offer. They recorded Andromeda Sun - EP with just the two original dedicated members. Ian and Peter shared the majority of the bass responsibilities, while Ian’s brother in law; also the drummer of Priory, Joe Mengis, recorded the drums for the record. Since the summer of 2013, the band has written albums worth of music that is more diverse, creative, and all around more thought out than their first release. They’ve written rock and roll, blues, reggae, folk, psychedelic rock, and a number of instrumental jams. The band anticipates their next full length album “Mountain on its Knees” to be out around 2015, and is excited to release more creative music from the soul and for the soul. They now perform frequently all around the Portland area and Pacific Northwest with the energetic and intuitive rhythm section of Anthony Pellico, 18, on drums, and Logan Adam, 18, on bass, expanding their writing team to a confident power quartet. The four of them began recording their first full-length album in November of 2014, and will release their first single "Mother Nature Takes Care of Me" on iTunes, Spotify, and several other online stores in December. Heavily influenced by the 60’s/70’s era, blues, and modern artists such as Ben Harper, Tame Impala, and Xavier Rudd, Andromeda Sun fuses all of their musical styles into a dynamic experience unlike any music currently being made today. They seek to make a positive shift in the world through their music and the message of peace, love, and consciousness that it portrays. Andromeda Sun believes that music has bold abilities to bring people together, as does love, so when the two are aligned the combination will guide listeners to a unified way of life that has yet to be achieved. Andromeda Sun strives to make quality music with a positive message, and plan to pursue their passion of music for the rest of their lives. Bridging generations with eclectic rock and roll from the soul and for the soul.
