Andy Steinbeck was a band leader from our first Andy Beck Combo and Duo Sunshine until 1978 - 1985.
He has remained a good colleague and we are still in contact to this day.
Andy has been active again performing live music with his band "Andy's afterwork jammers" at his retirement age for 4 years.
We also do online productions when we have time.
Andy Steinbeck also had a very good relationship with my parents and my siblings.
That's why he used his harmonica when I introduced the song "My good Father".

My Good Father

From 8000 Miles’ 2nd album Crystal Confetti comes another tune that gets a bit philosophical. How often does your first response to a situation cause you to feel that your opinion is being challenged? Yeah, it can be often. Everyone has their own take on things and that can cause uncomfortable feelings between people. So, consider in those times, when it might be appropriate to not claim that you are “right”. Let it go. Compromise. Choose peace. After all, being right is usually just an opinion. Yes? Think: I don’t have to be right.

As you may notice, the cover art harkens back to a familiar cover from 1973 and that is intentional, because Andrea and Rebecca are strongly influenced by music from that time period. Many fans of 8000 Miles’ first album, Aggregate, have remarked on that influence. The title Crystal Confetti represents the clarity 8000 Miles is honing in their duo’s style and the contrast of weighted moods and flying inspirations.

The entire album, Crystal Confetti, has been released on Bandcamp. Go to https://8000miles.bandcamp.com to check it out and follow 8000 Miles on Bandcamp to get first notices of new releases.

LYRICS:

You’re far away
and I can’t seem to find the time
to come and play
But I don’t mind just calling
from the edge

You turned away
from everything you paid for
at cost
And all the castaways
you spend your time with now
are just as lost

You’re far away and I can’t seem to find you

And now you’re searching for your missing memory through the mirrored glass
And all you find in just your mind in shattered pieces in the grass

You’re far away
and I can’t seem to find you

Did you ever think you were a splash of paint
dripped from the brush of a creator
while he’s stood
making something else?
And you splashed into existence
Completely unannounced

You’re far away
and I can’t seem to find you

Far Away [2022 Rework]

There is a pads part in this track which recalls me a lot the the Simple Minds sound of the eighties. So I decided to call the track Simple Maids, which sounds very similar to the band's name.

8000 Miles is currently preparing new tunes for their 3rd album.

8000 Miles is the distance between Rebecca in Hawaii and Andrea in Italy. Both have rock backgrounds and have joined forces to create an elegant blend of progressive & hard rock, with shiny metal bits, layered in symphonic lushness. Andrea brings his Strat, Les Paul, & Ibanez guitars to the party, while Rebecca provides many things synthy & virtual. Together, they deliver Music Beyond Barriers.
