“MOON DOGS”, a the newest tracks from the band PAROUSIA featuring two new songs from the band released to the public June 2019, with original core musicians Patt Connolly (vocals/keyboards/flute); Garth Huels (acoustic /electric guitar); Robert Lowden (bass guitar/electric guitar); Gerry North Cannizzaro (drums). The four key members of the band last recorded together in 1986 and come together now to present a new set of tracks in the classic Parousia style.1) “No Songs For Mary” – a dark and intensely moody alt-rock song lamenting the emptiness of living when your loved one has departed this world; lyrics influenced by the John Donne poem. “For Whom The Bell Tolls, the music reflects the band’s dark and moody side, similar to their 1985 recordings, “Lie Awake” and “Egos”
2) “The Weekday Song” – an upbeat progressive rock song that questions the practicality of loving someone who is unobtainable. This song features the band’s signature heavy guitar and. rock-flute sound, reminiscent of the best Parousia recordings such as “The Weekend Starts Tonight” from the “Loft” album (1984) ” and “Place Your Bets” from the “Turnaround” E.P. (1986).
