""Space Agency Takes Off""

"Fans impressed with virtuosity and originality" -Pam Cowan - Insider Magazine-Rochester, NY


"Michelle Picardo"

"...intriguing and inviting sound.." - Freetime Magazine


"Dave Richards"

"..the sampling functions as a fourth band member, adding texture and ambience to Space Agency's futuristic space funk and jazzy, flowing excursions." - Erie Times News


"Jeff Spevak"

"Add some of that good Medeski Martin & Wood funk, drum and bass, Massive Attack, Frank Zappa, John Coltrane and Miles Davis, and the method to Space Agency begins to emerge." -Jeff Spevak - Democrat and Chronicle


"Alison Lyke"

"Space Agency lives up to it’s name with it’s other-worldly jazz funkiness. Like a metallic jamband,
they build up the musical tension with a jazzy soundscape, then let the funk erupt".

"Live they have a tranquilizing vibe that is easy to jam out to. The fact that all of the musicians are music instructors is inherent in the precision of the sound.
The music often doesn’t go where you expect, leaving the listener pleasantly surprised".

"Cleverly placed distortion and complex guitar solos add smoothness to the overall effect. The crooner style vocals sometimes make them sound distinctly Zappa-esque".

Space Agency will take you off the planet of conventional music in a way that no other group around
does, enjoy".

"CD review"

"...an ambient exploration into jazzy, groovy, funky, improv territory, electrified with electronica attributes. On the scene for just about a year now, Space Agency has been making fans at every show they play, and the recorded effort illustrates how the band slowly and hypnotically envelopes the listener, sort of a beautiful musical brainwashing, and then they've got you for good."

- Michelle Picardo - Freetime Magazine


"CD review"

"..the groove gets under your skin and heads straight for your backbone."

- Frank DeBlase - Rochester City Newspaper


"Jambands.ca CD review"

"..Space Agency's songwriting is creative and unique...guitarist George Miller's innovative vision is obvious and he demonstrates some interesting licks balanced by drummer, Shawn Drogan and bassist, Adam Groom's skilled rhythm section."

- Lara Purvis

Bio

Space Agency is George Miller (guitar/vocals), Adam Groom (bass/vocals) and Shawn Drogan (acoustic and electronic drums/samples). The band has been around for a short time and has already become one of the top draws in their hometown. Hard work and many long nights have gained them a growing fanbase around the region and throughout the Northeast. Based in Rochester, NY and traveling
to wherever the music takes them, this group
is destined to reach the ears of music fans everywhere.

Influenced by all styles of music, Space Agency uses elements of Rock/Funk/Electronica to bring listeners on a journey through sound and time. They create music that bridges the past, present, and future while performing in the moment. The result is a sonic adventure of ambient textures and futuristic soundscapes grounded by solid
grooves and unique vocals. Sounds of laser beams and movie scenes transport the listener to distant planets. The band achieves "lift off" through intense, meaningful improvisation and has been known to invite guest musicians to the stage to add instruments such as sitar and theremin for a completely different experience. Space Agency's self-titled debut CD was released in October and
has received great reviews so far as the band continues to tour in support.

"..Space Agency's songwriting is creative and unique...guitarist George Miller's innovative vision is obvious and he demonstrates some interesting licks balanced by drummer, Shawn Drogan and bassist, Adam Groom's skilled rhythm section."
