Andy D fancies himself the anachronistic love child of Punky Brewster and Lee Van Cleef – the perfect amalgam of a fictional rogue and a real-life badass. He plays music this like he lives life and it sounds like Andrew WK meets Grand Master Melle Mel or Like Prince if he couldn’t sing that well and if he weren’t a hyper-talented multi-instrumentalist. This is what his music is all about: part epicurean hip-hop-dance songs and part sincere dance rock songs, being eclectic and catchy is the only goal. “God Loves Drunk Chicks” is a infectious dance ditty lamenting date rape culture and “Just Push Play” is a witty indictment of “the next big thing” trend in the music industry and pop culture in general (both tracks are from the debut album Choose Your Perversion). This is rap but not hip-hop. It rocks but it’s not rap-rock. These songs are meaningful party songs but maximized! Andy D bends the genres but his influences are pretty apparent. And people take notice where ever he goes. From rapping about having sex with Werewolves to singing about knife fights in a roller rink, no subject is taboo in an Andy D song; and he gets raunchy with it. Half of the fun of Andy D is hearing what he will say next… the other half is dancing. Welcome to your new addiction!

Wooden Satellites is a band that strays into electro-pop and darkwave while always keeping one foot firmly planted in pure indie rock. Hailing from a location that couldn’t be farther from the cultural epicenters of American pop culture, the members of Wooden Satellites aspire to write songs with staying power, always reaching for the landmark musical moments that brought them through the common horrors of midwestern living. This is accomplished through the embrace of several sound palettes, mixing male and female lead vocals, traditional rock instrumentation with synthesizers, and bright melodies with somber lyrical content. After striking out in these directions on previously home recorded efforts, Wooden Satellites are poised to release their first professionally recorded album, which includes nine songs that truly encapsulate all of the above. Entitled “Let’s Make Crimes,” this album should hit shelves in local record stores and the queues of online marketplaces in early February.
