Prospect Park

The Band began as a concept when former Forward Control drummer Charlie Sloan and guitarist Eric Goodrich decided to give the Twin Cities music scene a different sound that it was used to. The idea was a female fronted, blues influenced, hard rock band. Eric started compliling songs he had written over the years and over the past winter. Then the search began for the rest of the line-up. An ad went out and Eric and Charlie began jamming with local recording artist Kari Tribble and her multi-talented boyfriend Brandon. Those early sessions helped Charlie and Eric break the mold of previous projects. They then began playing with what is now known as the band "Berzaghi". This incarnation lasted until Becky Culp answered an ad and they began working on all the new material. Becky recruited Josh to play bass and after a few months of rehearsing, the band recorded a 3 song Demo. The band played its first show at Big V's in St. Paul in June of 2007. The band played together dates at The Fineline, Station 4, the 400 Bar, and the Hexagon throughout the summer. At the end of August Becky decided to leave due to time constraints and Josh for other music ventures. At that point, two shows were left on the bands busy schedule. Eric placed an ad and Kyrie came in to provide lead vocals and Graham Temby (Forward Control) came in to provide some guitar/bass help (along with vocals and some of his songs to add to the setlist) This hybrid band played final shows at the historic Turf Club in St. Paul and a very memorable set at Big V's (where it all began) on September 7th. Charlie decided to take the rest of the fall off with the addition of a new child to his fold and Kyrie and Eric are planning to work on new material in January to work on through the spring to do it all over again in the short Minnesota summer.... We will see you again after the thaw.....
