Originally formed with past members of Spock’s Beard, Pattern-Seeking Animals (P-SA) has long-since staked claim to its own identity, forging a strong path in the prog world. The band, named after a quote about human behavior from science historian Michael Shermer, is Ted Leonard (lead vocals and guitar), John Boegehold (keyboards, guitars, programming), Dave Meros (basses) and the energetic and talented Jimmy Keegan (drums and vocals).
The Los Angeles-based quartet have been one of the prog scene’s most prolific and well-received artists, beginning with the release of their self-titled debut album on InsideOut Music in 2019, followed by Prehensile Tales in 2020, Only Passing Through in 2022 and Spooky Action at a Distance in 2023. Their fifth album Friend of All Creatures (named from a verse in the Bhagavad Gita) was released in early 2025 on a new label, GEP Records. Their sixth album is in the works and should be released in early 2026.
P-SA will be playing live again at ProgStock 2025 in October with other live dates to be announced.
