UPROOT ANDY, born Andy Gillis (Any relation to Greg Gillis aka Girl Talk, I wonder?) is a Brooklyn based musician who "Bridges the post-geographic music gap." He takes all sorts of foreign genres and beats (I'm glad to hear something coming out of Brooklyn that was not recorded on a 20 year old half-broken 4 track. Although I guess having a unique, definable sound for today's music is pretty neat, but that's a subject for another post), and adds drum machines and synths till they sound like they belong in the clubs rather than on the streets of Bogota. Check out his "El Botellón"
Andy plays Bembe in Brooklyn this coming Monday, and hits Santos Party House in Manhattan on Thursday. Check out more more tracks + gigs on his myspace.
