Priestbird

Priestbird may be the name adopted with the trio of Danny Bensi, Saunder Jurriaans, and Gregory Rogove, who have formerly performed and recorded beneath the name Tarantula A.D. Under their prior moniker, these were a intensifying rock instrumental music group that released the 2005 record Book of Fine sand on Kemado Information. According with their imaginative press biography, then they experienced a “vicious break-up,” and “One member still left for Argentina to become listed on a tango music group, another became a semi-professional Soccer participant in Italy, as well as the last retreated towards the Himalayas to get refuge in Shiva.” Following a season apart, nevertheless, the three returned together in NEW YORK, transformed their musical design to a relatively more straightforward rock and roll sound, begun to sing, and documented their debut record as Priestbird, In YOUR TIME AND EFFORT. On the disk, Bensi performed cello, violin, piano, electric guitar, bass, body organ, and banjo; Jurriaans performed double-neck electric guitar, bass, and sarod; and Rogove performed drums, percussion, piano, body organ, flute, as well as the forks. Kemado released In YOUR TIME AND EFFORT on Apr 17, 2007, carrying out a springtime tour which Priestbird backed the Sword. The group after that spent a couple weeks playing in European countries, followed by even more American times with Pit Er Pat.
