Who are The Prophets?

The members of Red Sea Prophets met each other in Vietnam, whilst searching for the fabled lost city of Long Bank. Legend has it that the city was built during the D’ouma dynasty by Emperor Can Lu, and at the end of Long Bank laid riches beyond imagining. They started playing music as a way to: 1. Pass away the sleepless hot nights in the jungle, and 2. Keep the animals away. To, as they put it, ‘Kill two birds with one song’. As the search went on, the party run out of shaving cream, and so started spotting long flowing beards. So long in fact, the locals they encountered started referring to them as the wise men or the prophets, and so the name stuck. But why Red Sea??? The local guide they hired to take them to Long Bank was blind as a bat and a North Korean refugee to boot. ‘We just thought he wore dark glasses ‘cos the sun was always so strong’ the boys said afterwards. Afraid of being deported back to North Korea and unfamiliar with the Vietnamese landscape, their guide, strangely named Darren, takes The Prophets on an increasingly wild goose chase. Eventually they realize they’re even more lost than the guys from the TV show, when they find themselves at the shore of The Red Sea, in Egypt. Their blind North Korean guide is nowhere to be seen. Broke but never broken, the boys spend the next few months doing a variety of odd jobs in order to pay their airfares back to Australia; trying their hand at amongst other things: extras in the local version of ‘The Nanny’, exotic belly dancers, and enter the local show ‘Egypt’s got Talent’; where they reach the finals with their song ‘The Great Unknown’, only to be beaten by a dancing camel doing The Nutcracker. On their return to Australia, the boys make two momentous decisions: 1. They will shave their beards 2. They will learn to count cards and make a fortune playing blackjack. They pull off the first part without a hitch, but the second one ends in disaster and they lose all their savings plus more. In desperation they go back to music. Now The Red Sea Prophets ask for your support, so the can pay back the money they owe to the Chinese mafia and keep all their limbs intact. Please give generously…
