PROLEPSIS
Prolepsis is currently based in Auckland, and was formed in the late 90's. Although we have journeyed through different line ups along with defining our sound, we have been a solid unit since early 2004 with Kipa Rangiheuea on Bass, Chris Park on Drums, Darrell Oosterbeek on Guitar and Riley Al-Johary on Vocals and Guitar. Our music can be broadly described as Rock, with subtle elements of Jazz, Classical and Funk. We have a spectrum of sound spanning from acoustic ballads to intensified rock, using emotive melody and lyrics which project powerfully, and it's part of our ambition to share this experience with as many people as possible. We've played at the Kings Arms, Temple, Control Room, The Masonic, The Roadhouse, Kings Arms, and other places around town. We were involved in the 2003 "Battle of the Bands" and came through as regional finalists. You may have also spotted us in local papers like the Manukau Courier and Aucklander too. Our EP was carefully produced over 4 weeks at On the Edge Studio. We decided not to use any extra arrangements or effects that we wouldn't normally use at a gig or rehearsal, as the focus of the recording was the capture the band's live tone, energy and form.
