Parousia - a seven-piece rock group that performed in Western NY and Canada throughout the late 70’s and early 80’s. The band was known locally as a progressive and classic rock cover band that featured original music in their sets and set apart by rock-flutist/front man Patt Connolly.  In 1986 the band relocated to Hollywood and performed in clubs along the Sunset Strip and coastal areas until 1992 when the group disbanded.  In 2018, Parousia reunited in a Hollywood studio to record and release two new songs as a preview to a full new album of original progressive rock done in the classic Parousia style!

In 1987 the band released their first E.P. “Turnaround”  four songs distributed by independent record label Rock Dog Records and sold at record stores in NY and CA.  Tracks from the E.P. received airplay on Los Angeles alternative rock station K.R.O.Q. and classic rock station K.L.O.S. “Tiffany” the third track from the E.P., landed a spot in the movie soundtrack for “Stepfather II”.  

Here are the four songs from the "Turnaround" E.P. Recorded at Mark Studios in Clarence, NY. Produced by Colin Hilbourne (Faces/ Elton John). With musicians Patt Connolly (vocals/keyboards/flute); Garth Huels (acoustic /electric guitar); Robert Lowden (bass guitar/electric guitar); Gerry North Cannizzaro (drums).
