In 1987 PDP’s wanderlust drew them to the mainland, where they embarked on a year long bohemian travel tour across the United States and Canada, playing acoustically on street corners for gas and food money, while sleeping outdoors all along the way. The tradition of projected imagery along with PDP live performances developed and matured over the years and continues to this day thanks too long time film and video artist/collaborators Luke Savisky and Marco Ferrari. Filled with youthful imitative exuberance and inspiration from reading about Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground’s ‘Exploding Plastic inevitable’ projected film and music happenings, PDP projected films of lava eruptions, ocean and other natural environments over the band as they performed. The first live performance was at the Honolulu Arts Academy. Frank then formed a touring band a few years later. Poi dog pondering was founded in Hawaii by band leader & chief songwriter / producer, Frank Orrall, in 1984, originally as a solo project & recording production alias. But there is a core with strong roots & deep personal history, open to new ears and ready to experiment.
PDP is an organic entity, it changes like life does. It is quite apparent that PDP has always been, and ever will be, initfor-the-love-of-it creating and performing. A swagger that comes from having steadfastly carved their own path. 30+ years down the line there is a bolstered sense of history within the band now. Poi Dog Pondering is stronger than ever & continue to evolve with their ever present irreverence to stylistic conformity. (Threaded all along the way with ‘heart on the sleeve’ lyrics that embrace the beauty and pain of everyday life). Rock Band Disco, Chicago Stepper Soul & their unique ‘Soul Sonic Orchestra’ - “Acous-tronic” sound. They have let every sound that excited them, flow through their music and flood it with ever changing colors: Orchestral, Acoustic and Electronic textures. From bohemian street buskers to impossible to market major label sacrificial lambs, to hard won autonomy with their own record label (Platetectonic Music) Poi dog pondering have ripened into staunchly independent musical voyagers. Their steadfast independence has allowed them to perennially bloom. Poi Dog Pondering keeps thriving because their ethic has always been about following their musical heart.
