petrified host
Petrfied Host is Gabry (vocals, guitar, drums) and Lars (vocals, bass, keys). Both members have a rich past in the music business. They started working together early nineties in a band named Gloat, one of the many bands influenced by Nirvana and the lo-fi movement. Basic songs were recorded on 4-track, but eventually nothing happened with the material. Lars continued his solo career and made two albums (Moral Sewer, 1997 and Waving with Newtons, 2001); Gabry founded the noise-rock band SGP, who released a 7" on Narrominded in 2001, and later the math-rock projects Morbide Eenheid, Quarles van Ufford and Boutros Bubba. In 2002 they began to write songs together again. They usually came together in the weekends and, with a couple of beers, wrote two or three songs per night and made up a bandname for the occassion. The songs were immediately recorded to 4-track. After a while the material began to pile up. In 2004 they recorded a selection of tracks with some classics from the early days in the Boeton Studio in Amsterdam. The result is a stunning mix of catchy pop and riff driven rock songs.
