Egypt and Red Henry, Both based out of Washington DC, had known each other and played on many shows together. Kevin Murphy and Andy Waldeck, would join up with Chris (Crix) Reardon and Tony Lopacinski even before the dust had settled from their two previous bands breaking up.They hit the ground running, and with the help of a long residency at the famous TRAX night club in Charlottesville ,VA
Soon had a growing regional following. Word of the fledgling bands' powerful stage show, compelling look, and great song writing, reached Coran Capshaw of Red Light Management, and the band was soon under management contract and working hard.
ETA was brought to Bear Tracks recording studio to work with Producers John Alagia, and Doug Derryberry. The result was the album "Simple Machine" which brought the band to the attention of Giant records.
In the summer of 1999, EarthtoAndy signed with Giant records and went to Los Angeles to record the critically acclaimed album "Chronicle Kings".This is the work that is known best by most ETA fans. With a major label budget, The cd got into many hands,and blew many minds. While touring the country in support of CK, ETA met many people and made each and every one of them a fan, and many became friends to this day.
Its difficult to say what was the catalyst for the band deciding to split up, call it an unfortunate set of uncontrollable circumstances, call it the music industry, call it fatigue. In the summer of 2002 EarthtoAndy threw in the proverbial towel, thus ending their hard fought time,and continuing on in peoples hearts and minds. The band members are all friends. It was, without a doubt, the most friendly parting of ways the business has even known. And so their music lives on, and the possibility of re-uniting for a show now and then does as well.
