There are local bands in every city in America, they do it for the love of music, and artistic expression. Digital technology has made it possible for the little guy to get out there and do their thing without the weight of a Record Label breathing down their necks. In fact, many would argue that the record Industry as a whole will soon go the way of the dodo. A dying business model left to the wayside as digital distrubution becomes easier for indy-bands to sell their music.

And And And is no different. A six piece band from Portland Oregon. They have been friends for years and have learned each others styles of play, they write songs that define life in the Pacific Northwest.

Showing up to band practice, I knew what I was getting into. Seven of us crammed into a little practice space. These guys are loud, very loud. To the untrained ear (people that listen to pop-music) it sounds like noise, but it is definately much bigger than that. On this night our heros are  preparing for their gig at the Red Room in Portland, and naturally had low expectations for the show. Which is it’s own story and those pictures will be following soon.
