PrariePusher began as an attempted leap
back in time taken by a 20 year-old Max Eisenberg in 2002. Ever desperate
to rekindle the long ashed embers of his "pure youth", PrariePusher
was spawned to represent the fresh and destined child that Max Eisenberg
belived he once was. Hence the name "Prairie Pusher" which was
inspired by all the intoxicatingly surreal prairie reconstruction areas
riddling the outskirts of his hometown of St. Louis MO. In summoning this
ellusive entity, Max found its existance still lingering. But like the false
bronze granduer of those modern prairie synthetics, vain and at the mercy
of contemporary reality's airplane skydrones, buzzing highway howls, and
keen ticking survailence. Max's hopefull image of a princely spirit cocked
to assume its glowing glory was smitten by what he found; a grim and tired
beast of tragedy.
Hopelessly confused and self conscious
as a performer, PrariePusher allowed himself to be absorbed by the will
of the moment. Generally this would be tinged by a overwhelming sense of
failure, almost entirely to the expectations of self. For in this state
of hopelessness PrariePusher's plight did captivate more than a few audiences
across the USA while he toured for 2 months in 2003 as the opening act for
his hero Jean-Louis Costes and The Holy Virgin Cult.
The final PrariePusher performance took
place in March of 2004 at the Safari Lounge in Providence RI, however there
have been Prariepusher recordings made since then including those for The
Ghost Safari, an upcoming release on the Belgium label Rotkop DeathPatrol.
