About Me

A late night in 2001, two brothers find a man lying in the gutter. He was bordering on unconsciousness, so they decided to help him home. The brothers were Jim and Lal Townsend and the man was John Brandham.The home in question, "171", was a house for waifs and strays and where the embryonic stages of The People's Revolutionary Choir took place. Frequenters of the house were recruited as members; cue Roshan Moliko and Kris Feldmann.Sitting around romanticising about the history of the Rolling Stones, the Small Faces, Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan and Gram Parsons, the band set about creating their trademark sound. Getting the early seal of approval from Jim Reid and Ben Lurie of Jesus and Mary Chain who produced their early demos, they went on to have their first single, "Elevate", produced by Brendan Lynch, collaborator of Primal Scream.Having recently come back from an acclaimed European sell-out tour with The Brian Jonestown Massacre, for which they recruited guitarist Will Fowles, the band went straight into the studio to record their second single "The Breeze that Blows" with Brian O'Shaughnessy, out in April 2007.The People’s Revolutionary Choir consist of;Lal Townsend - Vocals Jim Townsend - Guitar John Brandham - Drum Roshan Moliko - Bass Kris Feldmann - Keys Will ‘Sweet Willy’ Fowles - Guitar“The Breeze That Blows” b/w “Lost And Found” is to be released on April 9th 2007 on 7”, limited to 1,000 copies, on Weekender Records."We are all lying in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars"The PRC - 2007Created with mySpace Profile Editor
