Love Outside Andromeda

Love Outside Andromeda is an indie rock band from Melbourne, Australia. The band was formed in 2000 as Andromeda, and they released their debut EP, Umabel, in 2001. The title track from their second EP, Something White and Sigmund, appeared on the Triple J Hottest 100 2003 at No. 65.[1] The band changed their name to Love Outside Andromeda to avoid confusion with the Swedish band of the same name.[2] The band have since released two studio albums; Love Outside Andromeda (2004) and Longing Was a Safe Place to Hide (2006), both on Shock Records.
