The PA System: Special Edition: Andy Combs and the Moth

Posted: July 1, 2008

Andy Combs and The Moth is a six-piece side project of Point Juncture, WA. Multi-instrumentalist Andy Combs, and features members of PJWA (Amanda and Victor Paul), among others. The instrumentation is out of control, there is accordion, marimba, guitar, trumpet, drums, a bunch of other stuff. The sound is something I like to call graveyard-carnival music from outer space. This interview is a little ridiculous; we were partying in the van, so bear with us, as there is some vital information contained here. Oh, and Combs' live show is top rank, as is his studio recording. For more crossover sweetness, check out the IOA podcast. - Isamu Jordan

The PA System: Special Edition: IOA

Posted: July 1, 2008

IOA is the side project of Amanda from Portland indie-rock mind-blower Point Juncture, WA. Usually playing drums and bass in PJWA, in her IOA form she rocks the baritone ukulele like no other. She borrowed players from her PJWA bandmate Andy Combs for this tour, and it adds an intriguing lounge element from a collective of musicians who span dub, rock, downtempo, orchestral pop, and other odd genres of sound. Amanda also plays bass in Andy Combs and the Moth. For more crossover sweetness, check out the Andy Combs podcast. - Isamu Jordan
