See thread on Malaysian prog-rock ... also in Music and Musician Exchange ... that's me on lead vocals and keyboards ... for my former band Samarkand (a prog band that had a Top 10 hit!)

I now play bass in a folk-rock group called Mojo Pin ... fingers crossed that the album's ready next year

I play in a band called Ænigma, we're from Italy. Our genre is hard to classify, let's say a progressive-thrash metal experiment... If you're curious our demo is downloadable from our website www.aenigmaband.com

I play in a small band since a few weeks, playing synth. We don't play prog though, just rock / blues / reggae / gospel, since I'm the only prog lover in the band. It's nice though, and we've only just started.

Something unserious called 'De Galschreeuwracers.'[Trancelated: The Galscreamracers.]

The band consits of nothing but a drummer and a keyboarder/vocallist[Myself] and we're making a blackmetal subgenre we very HIMishly made our own called 'spockmetal',

What we basically do is cover internet animations like Magical Trevor, and The Llama song in a blackmetal way.

With only a drummer and a keyboarder.

I'm also in an experimental ambient trance project called Stasis

And I produce independantly under the name Xiaoj, more experimental metal and ambient and some techtrance and classical.

I play piano and guitar. I was in a band, but quit it because they only wanted to cover bullsh*t songs like 'Seven Nation Army' and 'Starcrossed'. It was a good choice because they now are really worthless, and weren't allowed to the school's Battle of the Bands.

I'm starting a prog-ish band with the old drummer, but I'll unfortunatly have to throw some pop-covers and metal elements through it because the dumbass idiots at the school wouldn't recognise good music even if it made sweet love to them (like it does to me).

There's also this raggae-grunge band that I'm gonna play in, I'm good friends with the band leader/lead guitarist, and also live close to him. This is important 'cos I totally dig his younger sister.

both of them writes their own music, and the classic rock one is where i get the money for my equipment, since the prog rock one is not so public friendly hehehehe

i also produce a load of beggining bands (mostly emocore ones who wants to have a good guy representing them, tough none of them are getting far, im just ripping them off hehehehehe ) and stuff like that


quite a load of work for a 18 year old hehehehehe

yes, wow!
keep that way...

COOL!  I play violin with Philly-area spacerock band Scattered Planets.  It's a very part-time band.. we just wing it at shows!    I have also toured with Nik Turner/Spaceseed and am in the middle of touring with Harvey Bainbridge/Spaceseed this week..  I just recorded my first solo electric violin CD (I can post the CD Baby link if you'd like to hear the samples).

 I'm in a band that has  a sound like a mixture of classic rock, a tiny bit of prog( althouhg this influence is increasing) some punk, grunge, and a ltittle metal and ambience

Its good sh*t i'd say, but we are now writing stuff that's alot more proggy and that makes me happy!

 Our name is distortion and i play guitar and back up vocals

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

I play guitar and viola, but the only band I've played in has two constant members (I'm one of them).  We can't find a friggin' drummer, and I just went off to college.  But I'm trying to form a prog band (although I'm probably not good enough yet).

You have a good strategy in prog-imification, try to do it discreetly.  Slowly get rid out of the punk material, emphasize BLACK SABBATH and mostly your own compositions!

Will most certainly do!  Thanks!

hey-  i was passing through, looking at the artist list for a Aural Moon tribute cd

i'm helping to put together. more on that later.

--------------------------------------

 zenpool is the umbrella name i use for my projects.

 so i don't have to type a big page, or sound like i'm full of myself,

anyone that's interested, please do a google search.

 short story- we're in rotation at all the PRRN stations, made the

460 member station Rradionetwork's top 10 "world" chart w/ our latest

tune "majiker". we've had plays on the gagliarchives, the cd's been featured in full

on Aural moon, progpositivity, and soon to be on stellar attractions.

 the cd's available at cdbaby, toweronline, downloadable from itunes

and the rest of the lot. some of the tunes are more prog-ish than the early solo pieces,

which are electronic/newage(y) ala vangelis.

p e a c e
