Dave Turnbow (guitar, lead vocals and songs) speaking on behalf of The Venerable Beads... like our namesake, we are no longer moving among us, yet that which remains holds its own. A trio - I, Sean Jensen (bass and vocals) and Pete Kassal (drums and vocals) - that took eclectic as modus operandi... pop, rock, funk, reggae, blues, spacey jams.
Pete and I played together in I.Q. Bonehead with Fred Shepard (lead guitar and vocals) and Larry Ruhl (bass and vocals) from 1991-1993. After that ended, Larry and Fred went on to other things, Pete and I played a few acoustic gigs (with Pete playing acoustic guitar) as Pillow Regime. In 1995, Pete recruited an old high-school buddy Sean, who was also living in NYC. He fit perfectly into the lineup and the jamming began. Last official gig was back in 1997.
