Sand was a five-piece experimental rock/jazz/electronic group based in York, England. Formed in 1995, its core members were Tim Wright, Hilary Jeffery (trombone), John Richards, Neil Griffiths and Rowan Oliver (drums/percussion). Sand was originally an offshoot of Tim Wright's Germ project, and members of the band were also involved in the band Scorn. Sand's first performance was at The Spotted Cow in York in June 1995 with drummer Ben Clark. The group should not be confused with the 1970s German band of the same name. From Wikipedia →
