The Geologic Orchestra is:
Andy Kowal, trumpet/
Dave Painchaud, trumpet/
Dale Gerheart, trombone/
Larry Ogden, bari sax/
Steve Bridges, sax/
Tom Sweeney, guitar/
Ross Brown, guitar/
Eric Kenlin, drums/
Vinnie Puccio, bass/
Geo, sith-like overlord
So they say George Hrab and the Geologic Orchestra are an anomaly.
How so? What exactly IS Geo-logic?
Well... Its being wry but not cynical, talented but modest. Its intelligent lyrics that are goofy, stupid arrangements that are brilliant. Its the idea of extremely smart guys doing exceptionally silly things in both amazingly complex and simply straightforward ways. Its being a 9 piece horn band that rocks, while at the same time being a guitar based rock band thats funky. Its wanting desperately to play exactly the kind of music we want to play, while insuring that whoever is lucky (or unlucky) enough to hear us will be more entertained than theyve been in a long, LONG time.
Look, we have a following, and its growing every day. Talk about LOYAL fan base. Im sometimes more afraid of their LOYALTY than their rabies. Who listens to this stuff? Well- guys who love music, girls who love musicians, folks who like to dance, dudes who laugh at dick jokes, chicks who know the difference between Handel and Hayden, musicians with chops, lawyers with a sense of humor, biologists and chemists with a vast collection of P-Funk CDs, skeptics who collect Led Zeppelin posters, philosophers who s favorite movie is Stop Making Sense, rock fans, funk fans, prog fans, jazz fans, and people who love to think for themselves. Demographics be damned, I say
I played "Skeptic" on my ray-dee-o show this morning...and most of you Geologic fans missed it. Yepper, you did. Don't feel bad. Just listen every Monday from 10-Noon on 91.7 WMUH. woof.
My 13 year career has been reduced to a weekend hobby that doesn't begin to pay the bills because my chosen industry is dying a pathetic death. So, I was looking into the Publishing industry as a career change and I read that TIME magazine called it a business model that is "antique, a financial coelacanth."
GEORGE!! You are the SHIT! You make my hour long drive to work as painless as a jagged catheter. I'm almost caught up with the present, I've been goin through the archives and YOU SHOULD HAVE A SHOW WITH ALL RELIGIOUS MORONS!!!
Merry Christmas George! Not so much the religious aspect but more about the Peace on Earth and Good Will Toward Men side. Thanks for everything you do!
Geo, I love your skepticism, I love your humor, but most of all I love your music. Keep up the good work, my friend. ( That most of all is a superlative... What do I enjoy most? I cannot decide. I loves me some George Hrab).
Thank you so much for the friendship, George Hrab! Stop by the Croc Rock this Friday & visit us if you have the chance. Have a wonderful Christmas & very Happy New Year!
Great to be friends. We have some immediate opportunities in the geotechnical & environmental field that we would love to discuss with you, with one of our best clients. Email me with your contact inforamtion and we'll chat.
