Richmond - In the summer of 2010, the Silo Effect spent three days at Sound of Music Studios recording their debut EP Treehouse, accompanied by filmmaker Les Owen.  Intent on capturing the young band's first attempt at the recording process, Owen edited the footage into The Silo Effect: The Treehouse Session, a film documenting not only the ups and downs of those three days, but also the persistence of the individual musicians that has enabled their growth since forming several years ago.  Dedicated to their fans, the film will premiere to the public on Saturday, December 4 at 2 P.M. in a FREE showing at the Byrd Theatre at the bands' insistance that their friends, families, and fans get the chance to see the film on the big screen free of charge.  Show your support for this local band and local filmmaker, and look for complete coverage of both the film and the album that inspired it in next month's issue of Magazine33...

Andrew is originally from Boston, but has spent equal time in Richmond and considers both home.  He graduated VCU with a B.A. in English and looks forward to seeing if his degree will be worth a damn.  While attending Northeastern University, Andrew began covering music for the Zig-Zag Live website and tour campaign, which won him the undying affection of Bostonians because of his access to free rolling papers.  He is fortunate enough to have parents with great taste in music and owes much of his musical sensibilities to them.  Some of his favorites include the Beatles, the Clash, My Morning Jacket, Mastodon, Mission of Burma, all 70s R&B, and anything that can be considered "outlaw."  Other hobbies include food, guitar, whiskey, hiking, Boston sports, and maintaining his beginner-level fish tank.
