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
Go to my blog to read an interview with George! With George, you know it's funny and interesting. I've also posted some sexy brainsbodyboth action on my profile for the whole month. yer welcome, my fellow Geologists.
Thank you for letting T.R.M. stay at your place for Nearfest! That was downright awesome of you and Donna. We played a show at the Highwire Gallery in Philly and have a couple lined up as well as a festival in Europe. I am doing well for myself and friends and hope the same for you. Also...Lazarus...HA!
Hi George! Big fan here - first encountered you on Skepticality, where you gave one of the best rallying cries for critical thinking I've heard. Thanks for being my friend! Mick
Great schuff ya got going on there, George. Really dig the Geologic podcast and oh my God, the horns! I love to hear horns in contemporary groovunky music like yours!!
I saw the PFA in York last Sunday... you guys were tight!!! Love your music as well, not what I would have expected (which is always good)... especially "Barney's In The Vent." Good stuff!!!
