Half Past Four play original progressive rock. The antithesis of today's soul numbing repetitive motifs in pop music, Half Past Four offers something innovative to new music listeners and something familiar to those who have grown up loving the intricacies, driven melodies and exceptional musicianship of their influences: early Genesis, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Mr.Bungle and many many others.
The current songwriting line up of Half Past Four was conceived in April 2005 and born in September 2005 opening for Russia's insane music star Chizh at the Opera House. They began their road to prominence playing a monthly "session" at the local pub Miguel's Club 329 (hosted by perennial music supporter Miguel who boasts a platoon of huge music star friends including Jose Feliciano and ex-roommate Joni Mitchell).
While their ground-breaking demo recording Half Past Four (2006) was collectively described by fans as "an uncanny masterpiece", Half Past Four began a career that has included scoring the Billy Zane "Zomedy" Horror Movie "The Mad", playing many cool venues with lots of great new progressive bands, and finally recording their first full album entitled Rabbit in the Vestibule which will be released early 2008 with much expected fanfare.
Despite several band line-ups imploding after many years of being part of a dynamic music scene (past band incarnations have occured since 1999), Half Past Four continues to produce constantly challenging and intriguing music with their signature approach to songwriting; complex time signatures, unusual and humorous lyrics, pronounced and magnetic keyboard and bass arrangements and pulsating guitar solos.
