UŽ JSME DOMA: The Sounds of Freedom at ProgDay 2011!

"UŽ JSME DOMA (pronounced "Oozh Smeh Dough-Ma") seemed to appear out of nowhere in the early 1990s, but it was a little more complicated than that.  When the group came together in the small border town of Teplice in Czechoslovakia in 1985, rock was freedom and freedom was illegal.  Via Western radio and smuggled tapes, however, the band came into contact with punk rock as well as more avant-garde bands.  It wasn't until the fall of the Communist government that they were able to record and tour.  The group has won a strong following with their great releases and their constant, high energy tours.  25 years after their founding, their music combines the energy of punk rock - their original inspiration - while ignoring genre walls and adding more complex structures taken from avant-garde and avant-progressive bands and even from folk music of their native land.  They are living, fire-breathing, alternative rock legends.  They are a singular, powerful group whose shows win them instant fans for life and whose musical voice is the voice of joy and freedom."
- Steve Feigenbaum, Cuneiform Records

Along with PLASTIC PEOPLE OF THE UNIVERSE, UŽ JSME DOMA are considered to be the pre-eminent ambassadors of Central European rock.  ProgDay is very honored to bring the legendary band to Storybook Farm. (http://www.progday.net/Bands-UzJsmeDoma.html)

UŽ JSME DOMA joins PANZERBALLETT (Germany), QUANTUM FANTAY (Belgium) and FIBONACCI SEQUENCE (US) at this year's ProgDay, the longest running progressive rock festival in the world.  ProgDay's 17th edition will take place on Saturday, September 3, and Sunday, September 4 at Storybook Farm in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  For more information, and to hear music from all of this year's bands, please visit us at www.progday.net.

ProgDay Welcomes FIBONACCI SEQUENCE!

Every now and then a band emerges on the progressive rock scene that seems to come out of nowhere to make an impression. FIBONACCI SEQUENCE is such a band. Though a two-song EP released in 2009 hinted at what was to come, it was the full-length debut Numerology that took everyone by surprise. It garnered glowing critical response and ultimately ended up on many best-of-2010 lists.

"Numerology is a fine piece of art, destined to become an instant classic..."
- Dimitris Starakis, MAGIC STARLIGHT 'ZINE

"I would recommend Numerology to fans of heavier progressive fusion bands like Planet X, Liquid Tension Experiment and so many others. Once you hear the music, you’ll agree that the band Fibonacci Sequence should be said in the same sentences as the aforementioned bands. This is one of my favorite instrumental albums of 2010 and gets a very strong recommendation from me."
- Ron Fuchs, PROGNAUT

"Numerology is a whole lot of experience: it is melodic, sad, cheerful, loud, classic, but most of all Fibonacci Sequence have made a brilliant album with Numerology. Every time I listen I get surprised and find something new. Wonderful stuff...9 out of 10"
- Gert Hulshof, DUTCH PROGRESSIVE ROCK PAGES

"It's hard to think of a more impressive indie prog entry in 2010."
- John Collinge, PROGRESSION MAGAZINE

With a symphonic core wrapped in a metal framework and delivered with energetic passion, ProgDay is happy to present FIBONACCI SEQUENCE for its first festival appearance.

FIBONACCI SEQUENCE joins QUANTUM FANTAY at this year's ProgDay, the longest running progressive rock festival in the world.  ProgDay's 17th edition will take place on Saturday, September 3, and Sunday, September 4 at Storybook Farm in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  For more information, and to hear music from all of this year's bands, please visit us at www.progday.net.

QUANTUM FANTAY Lands at ProgDay 2011!

One of the world's foremost space rock bands arrives at Storybook Farm to carry us far away...

Belgium's QUANTUM FANTAY was founded in 2002 when PETE MUSH (keyboards) and JARO (bass) decided to form a band that would "change the city of Lokeren forever!" It became much more. With the addition of GINO BARTOLINI (drums) and DARIO FRODO (guitar), and five albums later, QUANTUM FANTAY has evolved to be an important contributor to the progressive rock / space rock / psychedelic  scenes.  Though QF has closed the first night of the Burg Herzberg Festival in Germany in front of over 7000 people, audiences in the US will best remember the band from it's wonderful appearance at NEARfest in 2009. New music has been released since, and the band is very excited to be returning to perform material that's never yet been heard in the US, as well as old favorites.

Join us for the ride...

ProgDay is the longest running progressive rock festival in the world.  ProgDay 2011 will take place on Saturday, September 3, and Sunday, September 4 at Storybook Farm in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  For more information, and to hear music from this year's bands, please visit us at www.progday.net.
