Animal Prince: The Southeast Adventure
Animal Prince is the musical vehicle for Fae Nageon de Lestang and Grant McLeod, two wonderfully talented musicians who shone for years in Florida and beyond in their superb group Flat Land. Since their move to the San Francisco area, they have continued playing. As McLeod notes:
“Animal Prince started in 2016 as Fae’s solo project during the Flat Land times. Project has certainly evolved into this being the first full length record!”
The aforementioned record is Have Good Dreams, due for release this summer. They have issued a video for the song “Impossible,” and “Didn’t You Notice?” has just been issued as the third single from the album.
When at home in the Bay area (San Francisco), they work with some very talented musicians. Here in the east, they have incorporated two of the Bay area’s (Tampa) very best musicians, Natalie Depergola and Seth Adam Lynn, collectively Katara. For the current tour through Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina, Roger Thomas is also in the fold.
These are all amazing multi-instrumentalists: Fae, violin, vocals; McLeod, drums, keyboards; Depergola, bass, percussion; Lynn, keyboards, synths, harp, bass; and Thomas, guitar, percussion.
The first show on their tour was Sunday, May 26, at Far Forest in Tampa (review coming soon). It was a spectacular evening of music that absolutely defines genre — ethereal, soaring, riveting, joyous, and many more adjectives!
Here is a video of the group at Far Forest last September performing “Any Day,” also available now as a single.
Catch them if you can during this short run of shows! Catch them on the West Coast. Catch them if you can!!!
