From the bottom of the well, comes Annelida, a rock band with unique, original sound and a very special blend of tastes. In it's own style, Annelida is an adventure itself. This band was formed end of 2006 by guitarist/singer Igor Dimitrienko and keyboardist/percussionist Andrew Wightman. With help of Charlos Urie, guitarist, who has played many times with the boys and helped them ever since before the beginning, Annelida was able to get on her feet and start moving. The band's name comes from a place beyond importance. The word Annelida itself, purely means "Explosion Of Life" (In own words, the first living spirit, or something that touched earth one day, sparked it all (kind of like an annelida reaction). As for the the name of the band, 'Annelida' made sense from the start. The boys have been currently playing bars/clubs all over the small town of Clive in Iowa and few other places near by. Annelida will not disappoint in years to come. "We sail the mighty waters, we travel on muddy lands...." Look for them on the road, in-stores and where ever else they might be.
In Igor Dimitrienko's own words
One melody exists when,
Its tissues work in harmony.
Music changes over time....
.............
...................
Music becomes the earth, the tissues reflect life.
Each sound is a being, a plant, an animal, a chance
This is ........ Annelida

"Sometimes when we go back and hear some recordings of our jam sessions, it is like a song we have never heard before - we don't even remember what we played because it was not planned. This is the beauty that we have found in improvised music...We have created an atmosphere where we feel comfortably free and hope to spread this kind environment all over this world"
MESSAGE FROM THE BOYS:
Thank you all for listening and supporting.
We will definitely see a good number of you somewhere down that same road!
