Porcupine Hills
A space-prog band composed of six children, two adults and two ghosts. For those who like the Ozric Tentacles, Quantum Fantay, Hidria Spacefolk and the mythical Wedel Boys of Black Creek. More spooky info below...

We are from a largely uninhabited region of hills in Canada. All of us are Grey Mennonites.
We differ from other bands mainly in membership and composition process. First, we give kids synthesizers and other noise generating tools, then turn them loose. Once we have a bunch of raw sound from the kids, we re-combine and morph it as necessary. We aim for song structures that keep the original vibe of weirdness, horror, delight and noise. Then we come up with grooves, vamps, riffs and rhythms to layer underneath the aural textures. Often we borrow from the ancient tree hymns of the Grey Mennonites, which precede the 13th Century.
When we're done, the kids often get to name the songs. That should be quite obvious.
(Black Creek is a mysterious region of Vancouver Island, populated mainly by the world's only prog-loving Grey Mennonites. It was the site at which the Wedel Boys, in the 70's, wrote "Gulag," a notorious prog opus so difficult to play that no one has ever played it.)
