the pratt story:


The pratt story starts long, long ago in the magical town of Ballarat. The citizens of Ballarat were happy and prosperous people, who led simple and happy lives.

There was a boy who lived in this town named Danny. Danny had a house-boating accident when he was just a small child and his hands were deformed in such a way that he could not read, write or play the accordian. Danny became very upset and was very depressed for a long time. One day while looking through the attic, Danny found his great grandfather's old army bass guitar. Danny found that, despite his deformity, he could play bass. And how! Soon Danny spent all his time playing bass night and day. Despite becoming a bass genius, Danny knew that this alone wasn't enough. He started looking for similarly talented individuals. so that they could form a band and take on the world with his unique blend of melody and rhythm.

Danny saw a boy busking in the streets one day who was playing the guitar, singing and praising the lord. His name was rohan, and Danny talked to him for a while and found out that rohan thought that drinking, sex and punk-rock were all tools of the devil. Despite their differences in beliefs, Danny convinced him to join his band. Reluctantly, rohan left his life of religion to change the world of music instead.

The final brick in the pratt wall was Adrian, the drummer. rohan and Danny found Adrian begging on the streets of Ballarat. He was an out of work Elvis impersonator and he had lost all his money on a late night poker game that he played while completely drunk. After this tragic event, Adrian vowed never to touch alcohol again and took up drumming to ease the pain of his shattered life.

The three got together and began to write song after song after song - indeed there seemed no end to their songwriting creativity. They started to play their brand of music around their town and lo and behold, the people liked hearing their music as much as they liked playing it! They vowed from that day forth they would dedicate their lives to music and make the world a better place!
