Was great to see micky, raffa, ht and a large group of friends at another excellent ProgDay, what a wonderful weekend. I'll write a longer review when I'm a bit more awake but the top 2 for me were Jack O The Clock and Ut Gret. JOTC were particularly stunning.

cute? honey ducks are cute.. she is mysterious, beautiful, and ohhh..so very talented.
Oh .. a real sweetheart as well. I videotaped their performance, as promised to Gustavo.. I'll have to see how well it turned out and upload it. They did most of Ancestor's Tale and even unveiled some new material. Fanstastic group. I had such sky high expectations.. and they exceeded all of them. |

Another amazing weekend of food, drink, music, and friends. And yes..Ut Gret was f**king amazing..sold out every CD they brought and yes.. while I did not sufficiently impress the group with my singing abilities to get invived on up on stage...I did fall in love with Cheyenne I think she liked the big Mick as well |

oh yeah.. in case anyone missed it in a completely off topic thread.
Cheyenne Mize is due to be appearing with Ut Gret at Progday to lend her incredible vocal talents so wonderfully displayed on last years McRaff album of the year.. Ancestor's Tale what was going to be amazing in the first place might now be the most anticipated show for me since ... TKOTB |

PROGDAY Movie Screening - ROMANTIC WARRIORS III!
ProgDay is hosting a FREE showing of "Romantic Warriors III - Canterbury Tales" at the official ProgDay hotel, Comfort Inn University, 3508 Mount Moriah Rd., Durham, on Saturday night at 9:30pm. ROMANTIC WARRIORS III - A Canterbury Tale A Progressive Music Saga by Adele Schmidt and José Zegarra Holder (USA/2015/118 Min.) How did a small allegedly non-existent "scene" of a dozen musicians from the mid-sixties British town of Canterbury go on to change the musical path of their time? The emergence of the Canterbury Scene represents a remarkable period in the history of British progressive rock music, and notably, the development of Jazz Rock. Its three most timeless bands, Soft Machine, Caravan, and Gong, continue to inspire contemporary musicians all over the world. "This is without doubt absolutely essential viewing for anyone interested in the Canterbury Scene, Progressive Rock or Jazz Rock." - Roger Farbey/All About Jazz "A practical guide for a vibrant and diverse scene that continues to evolve." - Sid Smith/PROG Magazine "Beautiful, deeply touching." -Raffaella Berry, Progmistress "Consistently compelling!" -Bruce Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery, NYC ProgDay 2015 will take place on Saturday, September 5th, and Sunday, September 6th, at Storybook Farm in Chapel Hill, North Carolina featuring THE MERCURY TREE (US), QUANTUM FANTAY (Belgium), MARBIN (Israel/US), PASCAL GUTMAN TRIO (France/Mexico), TRYO (Chile), JACK O’ THE CLOCK (US), ECCENTRIC ORBIT (US) and UT GRET (US).

THE MERCURY TREE at ProgDay 2015! “‘Countenance’ doesn't really sound like anything else being made today, and that alone makes it remarkable. It doesn't hurt that the songwriting, arrangements, and performances are top notch too. Really, albums like this demonstrate how special music still can be. I'm often very critical of how mundane, repetitious, uninspired, and just plain useless most popular music is, and so bands like The Mercury Tree feel like a true breath of fresh air.” - John Nicholson, PROGARCHIVES “The fact is that there are not so many progressive rock bands on the current scene that actually understand the term progressive, and that offer music that is colourful and inventive. Portland based The Mercury Tree have been around for eight years and so far they produced three records. Their latest is titled “Countenance.” Long story short, this album is a masterpiece.” - PROGARCHY THE MERCURY TREE is a progressive rock trio from Portland, Oregon that began life as a solo project of Ben Spees (guitar, keyboards, vocals, loops). The project morphed into a full band by 2006, and released it’s first album in 2011. Comparisons to King Crimson, Porcupine Tree, The Mars Volta and Tool often come up when trying to describe the music’s eclectic mix of math-rock, post-rock, jazz, and metal. The band’s third release, Countenance, has been applauded for its inventive and effortless blend of styles, resulting in an elegantly rich and original musical experience. In addition to established material, the band will also be performing new tunes from the upcoming album scheduled to be released in the fall, 2015. THE MERCURY TREE (US) joins QUANTUM FANTAY (Belgium), MARBIN (Israel/US), PASCAL GUTMAN TRIO (France/Mexico), TRYO (Chile), JACK O’ THE CLOCK (US), ECCENTRIC ORBIT (US) and UT GRET (US) at ProgDay, the longest running progressive rock festival in the world. ProgDay 2015 will take place on Saturday, September 5th, and Sunday, September 6th, at Storybook Farm in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

cool Ian.. I'll check that out.
Great news for old timer attendees... Dan and his killer Citroen will be back in attendance after a year break (health issues). Will be great to see him and umm... now to decide who to cruise Chapel Hill with Saturday night. Dan or HT and his bitchin' Camero. |

Nice adds, looking forward to all of these though I own nothing by any of them. I'm guessing QF will light my candle.
