Originating from Oregon states quaint capitol, Quandry exploded into the Portland music scene in
October of 2004. Beginning from a meager means, they evolved quickly and worked steadily to
gain recognition throughout the region. Playing at well respected and nationally acclaimed venues
and constantly building a loyal fan base, Quandry has already left a footprint in Willamette valley
and is becoming the buzz in other key cities such as Seattle and Bend.
The band has proven themselves enough to headline Portland's Roseland Theatre & Aladdin
Theatre with success, as well as support performances of national acts including Kings-X, Cold,
and Five Bolt Main and local legends Floater.
Quandry has also established a solid online presence, hosting a busy website(www.Quandryband.
com), and their Myspace page with over 16,000 fans and 180,000+ plays, receiving over a thousand
more every week.
Their latest album “End Insight” shows just how much the band has grown. The sound is
refreshingly unique, while staying on the cutting edge of rock, metal, and progressive. Their
arrangement is equally impressive, as a mighty 3 piece they use an arsenal of instruments along
side the standard rock band equipment. At times the singer will play bass, keyboards and sing
while playing trumpet intermittently. When you combine this with captivating drum duos using never
before seen combinations, entertainment is easy. Their live performances involve unique and
notable special effects lighting, and other stimulating visuals created by the band themselves
projected onto the background.
The true test is in the live show. Says Cheryl Ault of Crave Magazine: “They owned the
stage…terribly cool, totally controlled perfection.”
