Mandala (Band)

Mandala is an American indie pop rock band formed in 2014 in Waterbury, Connecticut and was founded by guitarist Abe Azab and vocalist Morgan Fasanelli. Following the group's formation in 2014, guitarist Pat Mulholland, bassist Matt Rosano and drummer Sean Connelly would join the group, which would become known as "Mandala".
In 2017, the group would release their first single "Washed Up" on August 14, 2017, which would be followed up by the release of their first studio album "Valley People" on the same day. Later in the year, on September 23, 2017, the band would release their second studio-single "Only in the Fall". Both "Only in the Fall" and "Washed Up" would be included in the band's second studio album "Cash for Smiles", which would be released on November 24, 2017. The following year, the group would release their third studio single "December Air" on December 21, 2018 during the year's Christmas season. Following a few months of recording for a new project, the group would release their first studio EP "Damsel in Defense" on August 23, 2019.
On June 26, 2021, Mandala would release their fourth studio single, titled "Blank Spaces." In the same year, Mandala would announce plans for a third studio album, and would begin looking for funding from fans through social media. Also in this year, Mandala would begin playing live music again for the first time since the Covid-19 Pandemic.
