The five members of Sioux Falls based, Pasque, have seen their share of stage time. Thomas Hentges, Tim Munce, John “slap” Myers, Adam Jones, and Martin Lien have all put in ten years or more of writing, performing, and recording original music. All old friends and admirers of one another’s talents, this group, now sound as if destined to work together. Beginning rehearsal in the fall of 2009 (all were looking to do something new), the group began work on a batch of new songs, as well as some of Hentges’ earlier material. The group also began a search for their own sound.
“We strive to put something together that sounds comfortable, something very genuinely Dakota,” says Pasque front man, Thomas Hentges. Influenced heavily by the music of the early 1970s, Pasque delivers their interpretation of what most call classic rock. Basking their collective ear in classic blues, r & b, and a healthy dose of roots, Pasque manage to bring something unique to the South Dakota live music scene. Call it what you want, it’s all Rock n’ Roll to Pasque.
2010 was a big year for Pasque, seeing the band play many gigs including the Great Aberdeen Music Fest and Sioux Falls’ Jazz Fest. The band also self recorded and released a free 3 song CD, which can be acquired at any Pasque show. The band is currently recording their debut full-length album, which they hope to release sometime in 2011.
