Hey Irrelevant!
I had no idea that Ayers Rock band was a prog band! I've come across that album once in a while and dismissed it, thinking it was straight-forward commercial rock! I've heard very positive things about that Ben Craven album! Seems to be getting a lot of good buzz....I'll have to look into it :) Wotgorilla! I was hoping the Yes support act might be Unitopia as well, would make perfect sense. I DID go to the Melbourne show back in September, and only about 30 people hung around for it. Pretty disappointing. They were great, of course! |

Feel ashamed that I'm Australian after reading the OP. Lame? Oh dear.
Dimissing a host of sub-genres as part of your recruitment drive seems a lowly move sure to encourage thoughtful, open-minded members. Edited by dreadpirateroberts - March 25 2012 at 16:00 |

YEAH! Every new prog band should sound exactly the same as the ones from the 70's anyway!

Why do you write "should"- are you the ultimate authority on what's prog, and what it should sound like? And you're literally saying nothing when you accuse entire sub-genres as not how prog should sound. And come to the think about it, I know no Australian bands.

Does anyone know who's playing as the support for Yes at the Palais on 11 April? I was hoping it might be Unitopia, I missed their show here in Melbourne last September (clashed with the AFL Preliminary Final, alas the Hawks went down).

Ha, I love how honest this is lol!
While I do believe there are a number of decent progressive/metal bands around, I've been let down over and over hearing about a `great new Australian progressive rock band' only to find they're an `interesting' metal band at best. 
I kind of feel a few Aussie metal bands have hijacked the word `prog'! :) I don't mean that they're no good, just not what I want to listen to if I go to see a `prog' band live. Give me Unitopia, Myriad (loved their first EP from many years ago), Windchase/Sebastian Hardie (also got a great new album out!) any day! :) Would love to seem some `proper' progressive rock bands play in Melbourne soon! Would definately support them! |
