WARSTARS
The Grey House
Portland, OR

* * *

Andy had been working in the studio so much that winter, that radio shows just weren't fulfilling enough. So after another few months of isolation, Andy called up Cody Pendant on the phone to see if he wanted to play out.

Cody was up for jamming and invited Andy to a house party in southeast Portland. Andy showed up and, backed by Cody and Michael, an excellent crack bassist, busted out a full set of live music. A house party is a great way for a band to get the juices flowing again.

Two or three other bands played afterward, but it was Andy's raw energy that drew everyone down to the basement and got the party started.
