I see three bands I like up there:
Discipline (which is making a comeback this year), fantastic dark, VdGG influenced progressive rock
Thought Industry who had stunning 3 first progressive metal albums before changing direction
Larval who I added to PA is the creation of Bill Brovold and who's doing interesting avant-rock, sometimes with a post-rock touch.

It is debatable whether these guys are prog or not. My policy is not to dabble in Proto, or Related bands, but that is because thay are usually big names. SRC was a very cool psych band from this area. Their 1968 debut can stand up to any of the psych classics of the era. Over the next two albums they moved closer to prog.

H.T., I am listening to Distant Shores and it sounds very much like many progressive bands of the 70's.  I think based on what I am hearing on this album they should be included on PA.  But, as is, this is just my opinion, and your opinion is more knowledgeable in these matters than mine.
 
Who is SRC?  I am not familiar with them.

SRC was kind of a cult band, based here in Ann Arbor. My Aunt had a copy of the debut when I was a kid. She was at U of M in the late '60s, so she must have seen them. They also of course played the Detroit area. That's an interesting fact. Considering that the underground rock scene there at the time was MC5, and Iggy Pop, these guys decided to do psychedelic.   http://www.humvee.net/src/

Indiana Prog Bands:

 
Dead Meadow http://www.deadmeadow.com/    http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=4685368 I think this is a stretch because they appear to be an LA band located in Wash D.C. area but when I do a search on Indiana their name comes up with a quote that an entire album was recorded in a barn in Indiana.  Not sure which one because I can't seem to find that after I click on it.  So what the heck, I haven't heard of them so maybe somebody will want to talk about them.
 
 
Umphrey's McGee  http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=308696596  Well known jam band.  Website says they are Chicago based, but they are originally from South Bend, Indiana.
 
 
And lastly I did a search on Progressive and Indiana on MySpace and it came up with 10 pages.  Not sure if anything of interest and it is time to go to bed so I don't have the time to look for any good stuff but maybe there is something there.

I have added Sufjan Stevens to the list of Michigan prog artists.  I am not familiar with him, but I have seen his name mentioned on PA from time to time.  I'm not sure what category he would fall under, prog folk or something else.  And to be honest I am not sure if he is prog, although he does have his supporters.  Anyhow, here are a couple of links.  There seems to be a number of MySpace pages, but I am not sure if any of them are official or not.
