At long last, Different Places in Space unleash an out-of-this-world debut

“It’s the closest thing to sex,” said Different Places in Space co-founder, Dan Ruffolo, about jamming with his bandmates. 

“You get to have this blissful connection with other people in a nonsexual way, and it gives you the same kind of freedom of losing the moment and getting out of your mind and getting out of time.”

If losing yourself to live music is your thing, Saturday’s release show for the band’s debut album should be nothing short of bliss.

Though Different Places in Space [DPIS] aren’t new to Pittsburgh dive bar, concert and festival lineups, their self-titled album, available on streaming platforms Saturday, January 7, will be their first full-length release.

For the band’s founding members, the moment is nearly ten years in the making.
