It really all started with Dress Up Apathy (Josh, Mike, Johnny, Jason, Derek and Andy) playing shows before tens of people at the Segue in Maple Grove, MN. Matt and Ryan would also later become members of the legendary pop/goth group. After conquering the Christian coffee shop scene (on a stage that was about ten inches off the ground and 10 x 10 feet), Andy went off and co-founded Thinkpeace (Ryan, Joe, Matt, and Andy) which eventually became known as The Crowns. You might recognize them from the Tae Kwon Do float in the Anoka parade where they were being pulled on a trailer with amps that blew out from a spike in the power from the generator. Anyway, later that day Where Astronauts Go To Hide formed (Josh, Mike, Matt, Rachel, and Andy) and wrote some songs and even went on tour! They played a show in Cincinnati before literally just the sound guy. Drew would eventually join on the tambourine. I know Andy played with Ronnie too, but historians can't quite place if it was a part of WAGTH or during Holyoke (Which Andy was never really an official member of but historians believe he may have filled in every now and again. It was during college and details are super fuzzy.). It is also entirely possible that this historian is forgetting someone on the long and strange journey, but he thinks he got most of it right. 

Since then, Andy has been living in the foothills of Texas with his horse Buttercup and his 78 grandchildren. Where are their parents? Seriously. He also owns a modest ranch and two small major league baseball teams. 

In reality, Andy lives happily with his wife Laura in an apartment in Northeast Minneapolis which is where all of these songs were written and recorded.
