"ANDre" is backbone of the convergence in the music of The Band PerSwayed.  He's the middle like the "and" in a sentence.  A natural with an imagination for melody.  He often finds the new groove that becomes PerSwayed's music.  Plays in excellent tandem to his brother "Col" on drums.  Brother's play tight and on this steady flow of rhythmn and melody Joel and Rich float away.  ANDre and Col hold it together".  << quote  from The PerSwayed Show >>

Q.  question by Timmer:  Why do you live in Chilliwack, BC and any big tours in store for your band?

A.  from rich :  We love living here, we're all established here and it makes sense to stay close to home, that said, we'd take a world tour on if it was warranted, and certainly, there's probably areas of the country and throughout the world that are far more into original rock bands than our fellow compatriots in hard working Chilliwack, Abbotsford and the rest of the Lower Mainland.  We're going to keep telling people the truth about ourselves, and truth is, we're from Chilliwack, we think it's a great place and feel that it'd be cool for home towns, for fans of local areas to support their local bands, maybe even against other local bands, wack bands vs. abby vans vs. vancouver bands... best of series as voted on by the fans... we're ready to play.
