I just recently added them here. The bio I wrote is kind of short because everything I found seemed to come from the same press release. I'll gladly take any additional info to make the bio more substantial.

I'll drop a line to Kerry to see if he can send me some more information about the band, so that you can add it to the bio. I'm sure he'll be very happy to see the addition!

It would appear that George have managed to assemble a fairly appealing festival for 2015. From what I understand the ROSfest website actually crashed due to high traffic when the gold tickets went on sale this weekend, and the festival hotel (The Aspire) are apparently sold out for the ROSfest weekend already. Next door hotel Eisenhower should still have a few rooms left though I'd suspect.

I would really love to make this. Lots of great bands plus a few bands to check out for the first time. Anyone in NYC going? Maybe we can do a carpool. I have no problem driving.

Ugh, nothing to do for 2 months except RoSFest, and guess when daughter's first communion is scheduled!  I'll have to wait to see Glass Hammer, I guess.  At least I'll see Steven Wilson in Philly later in the month...

ROSFest... nice, but to frickin' far away from here - at least in terms of flight prices :(

We are sitting this one out, though it is very close to us (just a two-hour drive). With only a couple of exceptions, the lineup is not particularly appealing, and we'd rather save the days off for later.

Return flights from Amsterdam start at approx 500 euros if I book today, and then the festival ticket and lodgings come on top of that. I'm an independent consultant getting paid by the hour, so going away for say a week also means no income. I could do it, but have some other trips that I'm saving money for which are more important to me...

Aha. Some times it is better to be a low paid employee working for some official function or other. A certain number of weeks of paid vacation a year comes to mind. Here in Norway we have 5 of those, and I also have 3 weeks I didn't manage to use in 2014 which makes it fairly easy for me to schedule such a trip.

Figured that... plus that independent consultant doesn't imply high pay nowadays. Still considering though...

What we should do is gather a group of the U.S. members and go to a festival over there.

Somehow I missed that Spock's Beard was going to be there this year.  I'm seriously considering going now.  It all comes down to finances.
