The Rising are :-
Donny Przybysz (Lead vocals and rhythm guitar) and Jim
Ellel (Lead guitarist and backing vocals) have been writing
and performing together since 1998 and have built up an impressive
catalogue of songs. As a result of their desire to better
themselves and break through into the main stream, Jim and Donny
decided to stop gigging with their previous band (The Wiremonkeys)
in order to write a new album of songs that would help them reach
this goal. With the songs completed it was then time to find the
outfit that could deliver the songs to their maximum potential.
Tony Hogg (Drummer and backing vocals), a very well
respected and talented drummer, answered an advertisement and
after a few meetings it was clear to see that Tony was the man for
the job. Tony’s drumming style, which is packed with energy and
flair, adds another dimension to the music that often has
audiences left thinking, how does he do that? Tony does not merely
put down a beat to play to; he has a unique style that portrays
feeling and passion that all adds to the sound that is ‘The
Rising’.
Sean
Pastorius (Bass and backing vocals) is an immensely talented
bass player that has the crowd applauding wherever he plays. He
never fails to surprise Jim and Donny as to just how fast his
fingers can go. Tony, who had played with Sean in a previous band,
commended him as being a world-class Bassist. This backbone
partnership was reunited when Sean heard the songs and moved back
to Lancashire to join the band. The band was complete and ‘The
Rising’ began.
