Artist picture
A group of former bandmates, reunited and playing/recording both originals, and songs we love to listen to and play.
We are a group of musicians, who played together in a band called Plaine Olde in the early 70's. Reunited after over 30 years, we are making use of current technology to do what we were never able to do then; record our own compositions and those of the bands we always loved. Originally two members, then three and now all the original six, we continue to evolve. You will find our recordings eclectic (in the least) and hopefully interesting.

Lyrics
Play of the Dead My friends and I, grown in different fields, we're all here. Espoused to our choices Free in our will We played long into the night The air cracked and split open pouring out, in a foul and ancient tongue At this table we are served Cold Two lock their bodies in passion 'til bone rubs coarse on gray stone Their names written in it's cracks We follow the long shadows now Dust knows the way Dust knows the way Dust knows the way Holding on to the greatest possession we were born to Our last breath The Dead dance
