Formed in 1996, Andalusia played for several years as a trio. Guitarist Cameron Ray, bassist Kirsten Burns, and drummer Jon Burns perfected their stark instrumental vibe while playing in clubs around the Bay Area, doing live and in-studio tapings for local cable television and radio broadcasts and touring the Pacific Northwest. Andalusia also recorded and released the instrumental EP “This is Noplace” in 1999 and the full-length instrumental album (with occasional guest vocalists), “Such a Heavenly Eyesore” in 2001.
