Goesl's Parade

You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !Goesl's Parade (gay-zuls puh-reyd)- a continual passing by, as of people, objects, or events: the parade of the seasons. In each person’s life there are seasons of change, seasons of contemplation, seasons of loss, seasons of doubt, and seasons of joy. And if it were possible to culminate these seasons and all of their experiences into something so acute that it would be best expressed in musical form, the result would undoubtedly be eclectic, honest, passionate, thankful, and transparent, not only original, but also, and perhaps even more so, relevant and beneficial to those able to experience it. Unless of course, all of one’s life’s experiences culminated into nothing more a mean- ingless song that you wished you had never heard, like, “This is the song that never ends...!” In that case, this whole ‘acute expression’ nonsense would be regretted, for the result would most likely be of little value. Luckily, the acute musical gatherings of six young men who call themselves “Goesl’s Parade” are so much more than that beloved song that never ends. With the completion of their de- but full length effort, “Wishing Things Different”, Heith Guilbert (singer/songwriter and Captain of the ship), Brennan Guilbert (bassist and younger spawn to the Captain), Trip Clark (math- ematician and lead guitarist extraordinaire), Ben Youngblood (the narcoleptic synthist), Chris Shumake (the band’s 6-stringed musical mortar), and Chris Salih (the only dancing, drumming Arab you’ll ever need to know), are striving to present the music industry with something relevant and fresh, while staying true to their faith and convictions as believers. Even more unique to this God-inspired group of hometown friends is that they took it upon themselves to record this album by seeking the production and engineering assistance of close friend, Ben Rice, beginning in June of 2006. With six long months of countless hours and endless nights, GP burned many candles, drank many cups of coffee, tried thousands of ideas, and collaborated tirelessly in pursuit of translating their lives into music that they could truly call their own. “Wishing Things Different,”, therefore, is not just another record cranked out to please the all-commercial masses or vying for “best worship al- bum of the year.”. This record was meant to be natural, honest, and exciting, with material that would attract a very diverse au- dience. From recording everything on an old 16-track, to using the organic sounds of a still night on a front porch, to making a road trip to the dust gathered air of a century old chapel deep in the creepy woods of Louisiana to record many of the vocals, this record is simply put, the proud product of 7 close friends striving for nothing short of producing a record best repre- senting each of their hearts, talents, beliefs, doubts, joys, and creativities. And in doing all of this, the vulnerable honesty and raw passion that Goesl’s Parade wanted this record to capture is truly manifest. “Wishing Things Different”, released in February of 2007, will continue GP’s musical journey as they begin performing for the record’s support. Be sure to follow this talented group of friends as they embark together upon their pursuits in life and music and into the gathered expressions of both.
