Pleasure Drones
featuring;
Will Bernard - guitar, keys, electronics.
Jeff Hanley - bass, keys, electronics.
Eric Kalb - drums and electronics.
The group is based in Greenpoint Brooklyn,tucked away between the superfund site and over priced hipster restaurants.The basic model of PD is to create new material on the spot and then refine it through recordings and arrangements. Most of PD's material has been developed this way in rehearsal. Jeff Hanley's adept use of modern electronics paired with his old school solid bass playing blend seamlessly with the breakbeat style drumming of Eric Kalb and the psychedelic textures and funk of guitarist Will Bernard. The blend of electronics and cinematic textures make the band suitable for dance floors and sound tracks. Often the Drones feature guests vocalist or instrumentalists.
Eric Kalb has a who's who list of bands he has been a part of and he in constant demand. He has played with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, John Scofield, Deep Banana Blackout, Melvin Sparks, Greyboy Allstars and Charlie Hunter.
Will Bernard Is doubly grammy nominated and has released 7 albums as a leader. He has played with Stanton Moore trio, TJ Kirk, John Medeski, Dr Lonnie Smith, Ben Sidran, Tom Waits, Peter Apfelbaum and a long eclectic list of other musicians.
Jeff Hanley is a right hand man for many in the New York scene, most notably Marsalis music recording artist Doug Wamble with whom he has toured extensively. He also plays with the Jay Collins group, Anthony Cole, Branford Marsalis and many others.
