New tracks online from Sunday night
A antique shop owner who frequents Gentleman's Clubs and a man who speaks in financial terms to express his love to someone, these are two new two characters added to our Soundcloud page which we performed both on Sunday night, to a group of people who like music.
Arnold Whisker, is man who hobnobs with the decent crust of the metropolis he lives in in order to improve his social standing in casual society and to see how he can make the law work for him. What goes on in the sophisticated doors of the city? Here we try to peer back the curtains of and see them for how they might be. Have you ever seen someone who owns where he lives, seems to be above it in some way? If so, you could be looking at this man.
Fragile Alliance is a quarterly report of two people's love for one another. Bank statements are some of the most romantic documents in our culture, expressing what pure emotion alone cannot hope to convey. Here, in this song we try to bring out the warm embrace of economic terms in a shape which the listener may find moving. What to you may look like a list of figures is actually an unknown poetry which transcends the human heart in and translates it into a complicated series of diagrams and graphs. The data gleamed from these analyses is often far more passionate than the average tale related by a Mills and Boon novel. But still in figures there is an unbridgeable distance the city has not yet managed to cross, and it is this dilemma that forms the backbone of the most fragile alliance between two souls.
Pop over to Soundcloud now to hear more from these curious and confused characters.

Rehearsal Promises goodies for June 18th
We had another morning rehearsal at half nine this morning and it brought ripening fruit: since his vocalising was well received on Monday night, Jonas will sing another new song at the next show on June 18th at Hoxton Underbelly which promises to be a ground smelling success. It's called Bunny Trap
Bunny Trap is about snares and critters and their relations. The character is known as Busy Squeakle, a hair-bander. His real name is not known so much. In his hair bands, he tries to get his own words in, but isn't even indy enough for indy, yet. While wrestling with his career he much reckon with the realer realities of composting and rodents, contemplate hunter-gathering and wonder why sugar is so attractive.
We worked on another piece has not been performed, called Single Minister, vocalised by David, which you can expect on June 18th. A march and honey-walking slow jam supports David's character who lives on the 14th floor, so rich, and it's so hard to be rich, the prime minister wishes they could be poor, like everyone does. Child support is so humbling...
Also, What's Gotten Into you Boy found another bridge over to I Am Meat via some montuno-like piano rhythms. We may not perform this again in favour of something fresh.
Any requests, drop them by. We feature new material at every show. There will be feedback forms for you to scribble all your fortunes and misgivings, disappointments, and forgotten appointments, on. Oh, and the best improv band in England. Oh, and a WE, probably the most exciting band we've put on thus far in 4 Reprobate Revues:
Oh, and FOUL GEESE! Maybe they should have that title. So well-ill-suited we are...

Anonymous Review of PDG in general
We appreciate the review below, from a source who wishes to remain anonymous. The picture is a flyer for our next gig on Sunday evening in Hoxton, London.
"I'm gradually starting to learn how to appreciate this different form of music, but it sure don't come easy!
Unfortunately, however I must confess that the morbid, monotone voice-over is very much not to my liking.
I think that perhaps one has to be in a particular frame of mind in a particular type of company to be able to get anything from it other than total depression. But then, I'm an old fogey musically so what the hell."

an ill considered blog post...
...is better than none.
So what's new?
Well, everyday there is inevitably something new to discuss, even if it is only describing how a piece of dust moved from one side of your room to another part of it. But physics does not concern us here. Protagonists do. Regarding this we have a new show to share with you all (wait, who actually reads this thing? not even sure I do), on 16th April we play Reprobate Revue at Hoxton Underbelly, n1 6nu. Show starts at 7.30pm, for the price of 5 pounds (or 3 before 8pm) and of course your time. Apparently they have some damn fine seats, a floor on which to dance, and a super dancefloor. We're on early, so you know what to do. You also get fab music from Olympic Clampdown, Psycho Yogi, and Book of Buzz. Yum.
We shall also be debuting some new material about an upcoming sporting event in the London area. Can you guess what it is? Here are some clues: it's a summer event that costs roughly 11 billion pounds, is going to cause havoc on the transport system, and will have some pretty heavy security protecting it (553 million pounds of it, in all). Did you guess correctly? Yes, that's right, it's Wimbledon.
We will also be unveiling a new band member at the gig, they don't want to be name at the moment, but those who come down may have the chance of accidentally looking at he/she.
All right, that's your lot. Come down and stay cynical. PDG X.

Kazuya Ohtani Update
Project NOW! Total Abolition of Nuclear Weapons Project
http://www.p-now.com/?lang=en
http://soundcloud.com/kazuy-1 is still the place to hear his music. There is always something new and beautiful there.
Kazuya, playing guitar and mostly piano with PDG, spontaneously composed a lot of the ideas that the band rearranges now. This includes New Jersey Cutters (guitar), the bassline of Come On Baby, Show Me Something, Another Digital Hit, Mr. Nemo, Compass Lost, Nobodys Only, and even My Private Anarchy which has changed almost completely (all originally piano). The rough EVENING EDITION EP, released for the Japan Tsunami Appeal in April of 2011 at Protagonists of David Gadsdon's first live performance, consisted of piano compositions by Kaz.
Kaz inspired the atmosphere for Fragile Alliance in early 2011, one that has only been performed without drums at MIRROR MIRROR, Ryans Bar, London on 26.1.12.
Come and listen Febuary 19th at the Underbelly in Hoxton, London, opening for anarchistwood. £5, £3 before 8pm. With Patricide and Lunar Engine (Buck from Book of Buzz singing!)
