Post Break Up

Dryve broke up in 1998 but its members have continued to pursue other projects. Paul Donovan is singing and playing guitar in a San Diego band called The Midwinters. Michael Pratschner continues to play bass guitar at his home church in Encinitas, CA. Steve Pratschner teaches guitar lessons, leads worship at his home church, and continues to write and record his own music. He, along with Keith Andrew, played with Justin Stevens, formerly of Dime Store Prophets and ((Tremolo)) and did a tour in the UK and Europe . Cory set up a home studio where he writes and records his own music and also plays at his home church.

Keith Andrew has probably been the most musically active since the breakup of Dryve. He played with Justin Stevens, formerly of Dime Store Prophets for a few years and toured with him a number of times to places such as Europe, UK and Russia. In 2001 Keith got involved with a band in Los Angeles called 'Parlour' (later to be changed to Marjorie Fair) who quickly got courted and signed by Capitol Records. Unfortunately, the business end of things grew very shady and unethical so Keith left the band. Also based in Los Angeles, Keith Andrew worked with a band called The Paper Dolls who did a number of showcases for major labels including Interscope, Capitol and Virgin Records. They also worked with a few top name producers such as Dave Jerden (Alice in Chains, Jane's Addiction) and Damon Elliot (Pink, Macy Gray). Currently, Keith is playing with a band called The Tallships based out of San Diego. The Tallships are signed to a European label called Minority Records and completed a seven country European tour in Summer 2006.

    A demanding stranger arrived one morning in a small town and asked a boy on the sidewalk of the main street, “Boy, where’s the post office?”

    “Well, then, where might the drugstore be?”
    “I don’t know.”
    “How about a good cheap hotel?”

    William Harmon (b. 1938)

    This is Malaya. Everything takes a long, a very long time, in Malaya. Things get done, occasionally, but more often they don’t, and the more in a hurry you are, the quicker you break down.
    Han Suyin (b. 1917)
