Inspired by punk DIY energy, jazz modality and bringing a fresh perspective to contemporary indie rock, Sodada likes to push boundaries and blur definitions – whether that's in music, visual art, gender, or belief systems.
Sodada's core members/songwriters Hannah Rose and Andy C have been working on music together since 2012. In a live setting, the full band consists of vocals, electric piano/synth, electric guitar, drums, electric bass and auxiliary keys and can also be stripped back to a more intimate duo setting . Regular cast members include prominent Western Mass musicians from the funk and hip hop scene, such as drummer Ted Sullvan (full-spectrum dominance), keyboardist Darby Wolf (full spectrum dominance, rubblebucket), and bassist Josh Hirst (Fat Bradley, Mary Jane Jones).
Together as Sodada, they have self-recorded and produced 3 full bodies of work (“If You Woke Me” in 2016 and “Sunshine EP” in 2017). Since 2017, the duo have been writing, arranging, recording and producing their largest undertaking yet: a 12-track album to be released in spring 2019.

press"What do you get when you combine Pink Floyd’s brand of jazzy progressive rock; the bittersweet melodies of The Beatles; soulful R&B a la Stevie Wonder; and a punk rock attitude? You find a band like Sodada, which succeeds in being much more than the sum of its parts." Read the full review here.

"Sodada is as inspired by indie rock, avant jazz and alternative R&B as they are by classic rock and psychedelia. What could've been a hot mess or a tasteless melange is actually quite cohesive, holding to its own dream logic - the way that you can recognize someone from your nighttime reveries, even if they're wearing a different face."
