Andy Strachan

Well, that was a nickname given to Andy by one of the collective many moons ago. Andy Strachan has spent more than 25 years behind a drum kit. Twelve of those with one of Australia's most loved rock bands, The Living End. In 2013, with some time off from the normally busy TLE touring schedule and much encouragement from friend and producer Woody Annison, Andy jumped into the studio to record a couple of songs that the pair had been threatening to record for years. In the same session, two more songs were recorded with some of Andy's good mates that he'd been jamming with. Finding it all a little daunting taking on the singing duties as well as playing drums (and in some songs play guitar, in a fairly unconventional way), Andy faced it all head on and much fun was had by all. It was here the idea of The Collective was formed. More tunes written, more friends added and The Collective had another session booked. The results are here for your listening ears..................
