I am ridiculously biased, as a huge Peter Gabriel and Happy Rhodes fan, but it’s been so great to see these loves come together via **Security Project**. They’re releasing a full-length CD of tracks taken from their tour last fall, and their Japanese tour this past spring.

Security Project consists of long-time Peter Gabriel drummer/session player [Jerry Marotta](http://securityprojectband.com/go/promo/bios/jerry-marotta/), King Crimson Warr guitarist [Trey Gunn](http://securityprojectband.com/go/promo/bios/trey-gunn/), Shriekback guitarist [Michael Cozzi](http://securityprojectband.com/go/promo/bios/michael-cozzi/), Keyboardist/Eigenharpist/programmer/inventor [David Jameson](http://securityprojectband.com/go/promo/bios/david-jameson/), and guest 4-octave vocalist/musician/songwriter [Happy Rhodes](http://happyrhodes.org). It’s more than just a Peter Gabriel “tribute” band. They all have their own musical careers, but come together to play Peter Gabriel’s early music, as well as early Genesis, Kate Bush and David Bowie, simply because they love that music and have fun.

**“The Security Project expertly re-imagines Peter Gabriel’s groundbreaking early output, creating an immersive experience both in performance and on its debut release Live 1. The group goes far beyond conventional tribute band territory, infusing the songs with new arrangements and elements while staying true to the spirit of the material. Gabriel enthusiasts across the board will be taken by the band’s high-octane approach full of drive, determination and energy.” – Anil Prasad, Innerviews**

The full-length CD (as opposed to a fantastic [5-song EP, Five](http://music.securityprojectband.com/album/five), they released a few months ago) is called **[Contact](http://music.securityprojectband.com/album/contact/)** (you can hear “Lead A Normal Life” at that link, and several other songs at the Five link)

I’m not sure if this is the final lineup for their fall tour, but here are the dates so far. They all have other commitments so can’t do a full-blown tour, but they’ll probably get together in the spring for more shows.
