Hey Irrelevant!

I had no idea that Ayers Rock band was a prog band! I've come across that album once in a while and dismissed it, thinking it was straight-forward commercial rock!

I've heard very positive things about that Ben Craven album! Seems to be getting a lot of good buzz....I'll have to look into it :)

Wotgorilla! I was hoping the Yes support act might be Unitopia as well, would make perfect sense. I DID go to the Melbourne show back in September, and only about 30 people hung around for it. Pretty disappointing. They were great, of course!

Feel ashamed that I'm Australian after reading the OP. Lame? Oh dear.
Dimissing a host of sub-genres as part of your recruitment drive seems a lowly move sure to encourage thoughtful, open-minded members.

Lovers of old prog and musicians playing prog the way it should* be played, Australian or not, join up and get a scene going!!!




*by this I mean the exclusion of lame subgenres such as: post-metal, math-rock, ambient, industrial and any new 'prog' that sounds nothing like prog should (ie. Dream Theatre)

YEAH! Every new prog band should sound exactly the same as the ones from the 70's anyway!  
New album!

Why do you write "should"- are you the ultimate authority on what's prog, and what it should sound like?

And you're literally saying nothing when you accuse entire sub-genres as not how prog should sound. 

And come to the think about it, I know no Australian bands.

Does anyone know who's playing as the support for Yes at the Palais on 11 April? I was hoping it might be Unitopia, I missed their show here in Melbourne last September (clashed with the AFL Preliminary Final, alas the Hawks went down).

Ha, I love how honest this is lol!

While I do believe there are a number of decent progressive/metal bands around, I've been let down over and over hearing about a `great new Australian progressive rock band' only to find they're an `interesting' metal band at best.

I kind of feel a few Aussie metal bands have hijacked the word `prog'! :)

I don't mean that they're no good, just not what I want to listen to if I go to see a `prog' band live.

Give me Unitopia, Myriad (loved their first EP from many years ago), Windchase/Sebastian Hardie (also got a great new album out!) any day! :)

Would love to seem some `proper' progressive rock bands play in Melbourne soon! Would definately support them!
