Sand (band)

Sand (band)

Sand is a five-piece experimental rock/jazz/electronic group with members Tim Wright (electronics, keyboards and vocals), Hilary Jeffery (trombone), John Richards (double and electric bass), Neil Griffiths (guitar and films) and Rowan Oliver (drums/percussion).

Sand performed live for the first time at The Spotted Cow in York in June 1995 with drummer Ben Clark.

Their early work was dominated by a jazz aesthetic but as a relationship developed with Soul Jazz Records' owner Stuart Baker the sound became more focussed and guitar oriented, whilst maintaining an improvisatory approach to recording and performing.

Sand have released three albums, "Beautiful People Are Evil" (1999 Satellite Records/Soul Jazz Records), "Still Born Alive" (2001 Satellite Records/Soul Jazz Records) and "The Dalston Shroud" (2006 Soul Jazz Records) and several 12" vinyl EPs.

Sand's collaboration with choreographer Saburo Teshigawara resulted in the creation of the piece "Green", which has been performed at the New National Theatre, Tokyo (2000, 2002) and the Melbourne International Arts Festival (2005).
