| Frequently Asked Questions: Things that Provision gets asked often, or something you may be wondering right now. |
Q. Why have there been member changes?
A. Provision has always performed as many live parts as possible on stage, and have constantly
fought against the stigma that many synth bands face as credible musicians who really perform
"Live".
Provision's opposition of Synth bands who prefer to perform "Fake To DAT" shows, has often
caused controversy in online forums and open debates. But no matter what other synth bands
choose to do, Provision will always stand behind the fact that it is a band in every since of the
word.
People don't realize that it happens to almost every band. The Cure, Information Society,
Anything Box, and Psyche are just a few who have gone through member changes while
maintaining that they can continue on no matter what happens.
A band is very much like a marriage, it is a relationship of Love, Trust, Pleasure, and Pain. It
takes a lot to keep a band together. Provision is a band in every sence of the word, and will
always be comprised of who is in it.
What each member contributes is his or her choice; and the amount of
input, creativity, and Live performance can only be determined by that individual.

Q. Why did Leslie leave Provision?
A. Leslie attended college while she was in Provision. She graduated in 2003 and is now a Surgical
Technician at one of the best hospitals in the country.
As stated before, what each members contributes is his or her choice; and the amount of input,
creativity, and Live performance can only be determined by that individual.
Her life goals and priorities changed since encouraging Breye to form the band in 2000. Her
current career and lifestyle demands no longer allow her to be a part of the magic she helped
create. The times we shared with her we'll always treasure. Her bio page has been left here:
Leslie Bio as a tribute to her and her contribution to the band.

Q #1. Is Provision still signed to A Different Drum?
A. Provision did not actually sign to A Different Drum as in the form of signing to a Record Label.
Not a single band on A Different Drum, Metropolis, or Insert Independent Label Name Here
_________ actually signs to any of those labels. They simply get a Licensing Deal for one album.
And that is it.
A lot of bands just like to say “Oh I am signed to this label or whatever”. It’s a façade.
On any independent label there is little promotion unless you are very well known and no Tour
Support at all in the way of booking, product such as T-Shirts and Stickers, Postcards, Buttons,
Posters, Print Ads, Radio, or anything else needed to really push a release to make it known.
Provision went with A Different Drum on their 2nd album Visualize, because it was the best deal
for where Provision was in their career at the time. But they also lost some control, and did not
agree with some of the decisions that were made regarding their product and it's release.
Are they unhappy with the decision. Not at all. Provision has nothing but respect for A Different
Drum and they have done a ton of work and helped Provision to get where we are now. They carry
Provision releases and support us as Provision does them.

Q. When Provision Tours and performs live, why don't they come to my city?
A. If we did not make it to a city near you on our last tour, or we haven't ever made it close to you
yet; we truly apologize.
We've gotten a lot of E-mails from fans asking, why No Chicago show, why No Atlanta show,
Tampa, Ohio, Denver, etc...etc...??? In all honesty we couldn't get shows in many cities due to
attitude, and statements such as "No one knows you" or "Unless you are Apoptygma Berzerk or
VNV Nation we're not Interested".
While those are incredible acts, and definitely leaders in electronic music, there are many
talented new bands that need support, and it's this negative mentality that holds the American
Scene down. Certain promoters and even some of the Top D.J.’s out there still have this attitude
that only a few Top bands are worthy of being played in the club, or booked. And until they can
wake up to the fact that new bands are out there, the American Scene will only suffer.
Shows we did in Louisville and D.C. to crowds of a few Hundred each time, were evidence that not
only are we known; but will only solidify Provision as a credible Synth act to has to be seen "Live"
to be appreciated. Just ask anyone who has seen us on tour so far, and they'll tell you we are not
to be missed. Fans will attest, Provision is bringing back the energy of Synth acts like Front 242,
Information Society, Depeche Mode, and Nitzer Ebb. There is a new wave, and Provision is at the
forefront!
If you are a promoter, fan, or booking agent that wants to get Provision to your city...Please
contact us!!! Don't be afraid to say hello, and that you demand "Provision Live" where you live!
You are the key to getting your city on our next Tour.
