Our Mission

The BPBS bloodline may be traced to late 2001 when members of the psychedelic rock outfit Datura Blues first coined the phrase "Beast, Please be Still..." These four simple words were adopted as the band's Mantra and have since been subject to a wide array of interpretations... The Beast's infancy was spent in Humboldt County, CA where it served as host to the Datura Blues more experimental leanings (as a recording project, live performance group and song concept...)

Over the course of its decade long evolution the BPBS monikor has come to represent many things to many folks... However, despite the community's nomadic tendencies and a constant deviation from one mode of operation to the next, the ongoing and traditional purpose of Beast, Please be Still is to explore and expand upon the collective artistic interests of Datura Blues members and their friends, without limiting the Mantra to one conceptual interpretation, environment or cast of characters...

The latest incarnation of BPBS draws inspiration from its cultural heritage while extending a hand towards a larger community of family and friends, connected by their devotion to similar ideals and worldviews, and deeply committed to a grassroots approach of distributing and archiving their artistic endeavors...
