Gashlaria: Our Puppet Band

Recently we've combined the forces of our band and puppet troupe to create a totally awesome Puppet Rock Band. We've had one show so far altogether at the American Fork Library and we even made it in the Daily Herald. Here's the article:


Freddy as Dorf

Childrens' Book Week was kicked off on Monday as puppeteers entertained a crowd of children and parents in the Keith Christeson Theater at the Pleasant Grove Library. Approximately 60 people watched as the entertaining group Gashlaria performed storytelling and then a musical puppet show. Gashlaria, comprised of Steve Gashler, Teresa Gashler, Freddy Desposorio, Curtis Wiederhold and Heather Peavler, is a former band from Provo who decided to incorporate music and puppets together. "We've invented the first rock band-puppet show that we know of," said Steve Gashler. The show, titled "Pythagorea and the Gnome," included a funny story, several different characters, including a villainous lawn gnome, and music.


We'll keep you posted on our upcoming shows, but for now check out our awesome website: http://www.gashlaria.com . It's still under construction, so keep checking and we'll keep updating.
