Hi! some of you may have already seen me around in the forums. i've been a member since March, but haven't introduced myself until now. Embarrassed I thought I should since I'm still a newbie.
My name is Gabe,i'm 16 and i'm from Victoria, Australia. i've been into prog for a couple of years.
My favourite bands are:
Gentle Giant
Cheer-Accident
Egg
Frank Zappa
King Crimson
Dysrhythmia
Hatfield And The North
Focus
Dün (as of yesterday thanks to PA)
Don Caballero
 
Others I like include: Captain Beefheart, Behold... The Arctopus, Yes, Steely Dan, Arti E Mestieri, Spectrum, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and other stuff Smile 
 
Feel free to suggest anything you think i might like! Wink

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

They're one of my favourite current bands. I saw you like math-rock, but they do it very different than Don Caballero: no metal, weird vocals, electronica & effects.

Welcome aboard! I too quite enjoy Cheer-Accident, although I have only heard three albums to date.

I have about 10 of their albums. My favourites are Babies Shouldn't Smoke, Introducing Lemon, Salad days and Dumb Ask. They're all pretty good though. Except IMO for Enduring The American Dream which has its moments but overall is pretty weak.

I'm Gabe too, and I'm fifteen (sixteen in three months). Nice to see you around!
You seem to have great tastes, that's fun. Give a listen to Magma and Univers Zero eventually.
