At 18, Andy followed his head and his heart and left Denver to study music and art history. In 2002 Andy met DJ, singer and jewellery designer Kim Ann Foxman, who having escaped from Hawaii to San Francisco as a teenage tearaway had also fallen under the influence of the Tonka / Wicked Crew DJs eclectic house evangelism. Together they formed a loose DJing and promotion partnership, DanceHomosDance. Inspired by London’s Horse Meat Disco, Andrew launched Cazzo Pazzo where big name House DJs could show off their disco knowledge in an intimate venue. Among the many club creatures, party people, artists and musicians Andy encountered in the downtown scene was the enigmatic figure of Antony. Hercules’ third siren (fourth if you include Andy’s lead vocals on This Is My Love) is Nomi, a sultry 24-year-old native New Yorker. In its name, sound and romantic, heroic spirit, Hercules And Love Affair is the result of Andy’s dedication to the Classics: both the myths and legends of Ancient Greece and Rome that captured his imagination as a child, and the timeless club tracks that soundtracked the euphoria and delirium of his adolescence and adult life.
