Ken Andrews has gone on to become a well-known producer, engineer, and mixer , and has been involved in several different music projects. ON (1999–2002) was more or less a solo project, and was not unlike Failure, in terms of songwriting, but the overall sound was more based on electronics , with less emphasis on guitars and the typical heavy rock sound. Year of the Rabbit (2002–2004) saw Andrews’ return to the four-piece rock band format, alongside ON’s touring drummer, Tim Dow, and former members of National Skyline and Cupcakes; the harder-rocking sound of YotR is much closer to that of Failure, but the band lost momentum and eventually went on indefinite hiatus after their label, Elektra Records , was ostensibly shut down by in the wake of its merger with Atlantic Records . Currently, Andrews is performing as a solo artist, as well as collaborating in a self-described “digital band” called Los Angeles Digital Noise Academy, whose loose membership also includes Brad Laner ( Medicine ), Sharky Laguana ( Creeper Lagoon ), Charlotte Martin (whom Andrews married in 2005), Jordon Zadorozny ( Blinker the Star ) and others. He released his first solo album, Secrets of the Lost Satellite , in 2007. He has also started a label, Dinosaur Fight Records, which has released his solo album and Martin’s, and has announced their intention to release the forthcoming LADNA album, as well.
