Funky groove laid down hard... fancy kickin' and farting bass throughout... extroverted kitchen-sink guitar solo... hip wah-wah bed for Sean's bass solo... Scott Timberg's review: '...an excellent hybrid of punk and funk'
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.Band/artist history
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.Have you performed in front of an audience?Used to play in the NYC/CT area.
