Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Bass   Washington, D.C. native Steve Bowes formed the Pharmacy Prophets in 2002 as a (supposedly) one-time live band to play a benefit show in honor of his good friend John Kidner who had to check out on things much too early. One show led to another and he found that being a lead singer was a more fulfilling gig for a narcissistic attention freak than being a bass player, (where he had plied his trade for many years before). He's been front and center for the Prophets ever since. Prior to the Prophets Steve played bass for D.C. bands Too Small Children, Stonejury, SuperGiant, Magnaflux and Luka Brazzi. He is a proud veteran of pretty much every rathole club that the city offered forth from 1990 on. There was a disastrous stint in Hollywood many years back, but it's better not to talk too much about that. He still gets twitchy and the mention of the Whisky A-Go-Go. In 2006 Steve came up with a vague story idea about a girl and ghosts, and fathers and sons and murder and love. That idea became "Fantomé", the album the band is lovingly slaving away creating. Steve has two daughters that he loves more than the breadth of the sky and the depth of the ocean and he is actually much taller than he appears in real life. INFLUENCES: The Who, Hanoi Rocks, The Afghan Whigs/Twilight Singers, Mark Lanegan, Tom Waits, Shawn Smith, Neil Young, the Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop, good rock and roll and bad heavy metal. All the freaks, maniacs, broken hearts and unbreakable spirits that inhabit the places which provides the settings for the songs. And his dad, who is pretty much an intellectual and spiritual badass.
