Last weekend we played outside of Philly at a private high school called the Hill School. The drive was long but riding with the Prophets is a rolling comedy adventure. I am often amazed at how much fun we have on our longer road trips. It was sunny and warm, the trees and the grass were green, it was a good break from VT were the leaves are just starting to pop out. The kids were great and we had a blast.
The Claw's family put us up for the weekend and gave us the royal treatment. We have never had it so good! Much thanks to Jeff and Becky Clausen!
On to new Growth. Bands are organic living things, and when they stop growing they start dying.
We had reached a plateau a few months back and progress was grinding to a halt. For some time it seemed to me that our keyboard player, Andric's heart was not really in it any more. He was looking for something from the band that he wasn't getting, and the band was needing from him what he could not give.
Well, I have been friends with Andric and playing music with him for a very long time, so it was a tough call. The toughest call I have made in a long time. We got together and talked about it. It was very obvious to both of us right from the beginning of the conversation that we were on the same wave length. That was good. So Andric has moved on to focus on other musical projects, and we are looking for a new keyboard player.
If you are interested in auditioning send us an email at booking@pulseprophets.com. Include links to music you may have online. What we need from a keyboard player is a solid bubble (roots reggae keyboard rhythm),solid melody, excited to travel around and play, and a great attitude!
Since Andric has left I have started playing guitar in the band. It feels good to be playing again, but after years of not playing reggae music on the guitar I find my rhythm is a bit rusty. I think it adds a bit of garage band flavor to the band. Hmm, well people are diggin' it so maybe that is a good thing?
I know fans may be bummed by Andric's departure. We all miss him, his dubby synth sounds, and his bubbling organ. What can I say, change is good, we move on, we grow. Who knows what will come? I for one am totally excited to see what is around the corner.
A new cd is around the corner. Looks like we are done mixing finally and sending it out to be mastered this coming week. Andric is on keys, and Myra Flynn sang some lovely harmony vocals on it too.
The live cd is next!
This Friday The Prophets will be playing Nectar's in Burlington VT, at 11:30PM. I believe our former drummer and current part time bongo man J-bird Pfeil will be joining us for this show. Go J-bird. Squawk! The band Fink will be kicking off the show at 9:30.
Saturday we will be playing the Village Tavern in Jeffersonville Vt, 8-11PM. Rumor has it our good friend Deva might show up with his sax.
Hope to see you soon.
Keep the Peace,
Elijah
