Now that the dust has settled on Wand's first crazy year as a band - three albums between August 2014 and September 2015, they seem to have settled into a long winter's nap, allowing us the time to finally catch up on all three of those fantastic releases (as well as spending some time with singer Cory Hanson's solo debut, The Unborn Capitalist From Limbo). But no sooner do they settle in, when suddenly everybody wants to pull them back out again! That's because Wand's method of switching restlessly through phases of music in a single passage of a song is a sure thing to show-goers these days - and that's that why Wand will soon be setting forth from their warm, and admittedly, kind of rainy home base in So-Cal for gigs in Arizona and Texas-with a stop in Austin for a few shows at SXSW!
With two new full time members adding keyboards and guitar to the ever-expanding Wandiverse, expect sounds unlike any of their previously recorded material, alongside full-fleshed renditions of some of their classics. Wand are on the move again! Follow the magic WAND through the sunny southland next month:
