Welcome to the sounds of Prozakville...

About Me

Who are the PROZAKVILLE COUNTY COLLECTIVE?

We are putting together a band - DANSE MACABRE - coming soon!
ASH vocalises with great gusto and is becoming a dab hand at the theremin. TAYLOR sings, plays guitar and violin and currently does all three with Helen's Evil Twin . STEPH plays bass reasonably well, synth and guitar not well at all and has been persuaded to pick up a trumpet for at least one of the songs.
The Prozakville County Collective came to the lower dimensions the long way round, taking in fifteenth-century Romania and 1930's Berlin on the way. A stint doing the musical hall circuit in London to make ends meet led to the formation of the folk/goth/cabaret outfit Danse Macabre. Our subsequent attempt to return to present-day Prozakville was not to be; a failure in our extra-dimensional transportation has stranded us in early twenty-first-century London, where we are having to start our musical careers again from scratch. Whatever happened to music hall?
The Collective are currently rehearsing in Croydon and a quest for a fourth member, a drummer, is ongoing. We are now seriously thinking about doing a few acoustics-style gigs without a percussionist, just to get the show back on the road...

Band Members: The PROZAKVILLE COUNTY COLLECTIVE is a gathering in the Lower Dimensions of a group of like-minded Prozakian musicians and performers. We are currently rehearsing and putting together an alternative goth rock cabaret band called Danse Macabre (check out our sister site for latest news and tunes!), who are:

ASH
Vocals, theremin.

TAYLOR
Vocals, guitar, violin.

STEPH
Bass, brass, synth, backing vocals.

MISS ZOOM
Electronic percussion noises.

Assisting the Collective are...

CHRISSIE
Artist in residence.

RANDOM DENT
MC, occasional backing vocals.

We plan to tour once the Extra-Dimensional drive on the Camper Van Helsing has been fixed, although you can also catch TAYLOR in action around London playing and singing with Helen's Evil Twin . STEPH, TAYLOR and ASH all have a hand in song writing and are also rehearsing a couple of tracks written by DIANA STONE .
Influences: Cats, cheese and cider; but not necessarily in that order...
Sounds Like: "Danse Macabre could possibly be the best thing to come out of the Upper Dimensions since Captain Zlog and the Prozakville County Playboys stormed Conestock in 1999..." Major Ronald Cavendish, writing in the Prozakville Chronicle, January 2008.

"Where the hell did those three come from?" Vladislav Dracula, Transylvania, June 1462.

"Made Charlie Postlewaite and his performing newts look positively amateur..." Bloke in the cheap seats at the Coliseum, Theatre of Varieties, March 1905.
Record Label: Official recordings have yet to be released.
Type of Label: None
