That's great to hear, Jeff!

Btw, did you ever cross path with the guys from Maximum Indifference? They're from the Bay and recorded a couple great instrumental prog-fusion albums.

Hi Guys, it's Jeff Brockman founding member of the progressive rock band Cairo, co-writer, engineer, drummer.

Over the years I've looked at several postings from Prog Archives, this is my first post.

Thank you for listening to our music, all the kind words and continued support!

Update - Yes, it was devastating to lose our great singer Bret Douglas. That really put a hold on us continuing on as Bret was like a brother to us and he was there from the beginning. We had so many great times together. Since I was the recording engineer on all of the Cairo Projects, I got to work countless hours with Bret one on one in the studio. He was the kindest, nicest, funniest and a super talented person you could ever know. Bret played guitar, drums, keyboards and had a music degree from collage, super talented!

There is so much more I would like to say about Cairo, so we must continue the conversations!!

Also, if you are unaware of my live Cairo performance videos, I would like to take a moment and let you know I perform and practice all three Cairo albums 3 to 4 times a week in both of my recording studios.

My show is called "Virtual Live Show" and it, IMHO is awesome! I've provided links below to YouTube, Twitter, and just recently got a deal with Amazon Prime Worldwide.

Please feel free to contact me via email for questions or interviews as I have a lot to say about now and the future of Cairo.

On a side note, I am the Director, Producer and engineer of EMGtv where I have produced 400 videos with the worlds best guitar players. This is what I have been doing for the last 9 years while continuing to work on my drumming craft and writing new music.

Sincerely with the biggest, most humble thank you!!!!!!!!

Search- there is a ton more!!!!!!!!!!!!

It had been quite a while since I had listened to them. I have a CD jukebox player with 400 CDs in it that I was listening to the CDs in order and one of the Cairo CDs came up. I didn't recognize it but while listening I was thinking, wow this is really good. I had to walk over to the CD player to see what it was that I was listening to.

Their lead singer, Bret Douglas, passed away in 2011 from pancreatic cancer. I know there were rumors of a fourth album back in 2009, but alas, I haven't heard any news since Douglas' passing.

They were a great band.

Incredible band. It's amazing how little they're talked about. Just listened to this this gem on the way to work today.

Keith Emerson also liked Cairo himself and especially likes to listen the last (long) track of the debut album. Well, that's what I once read in an old interview with one of the guys from Cairo.

Yes, I think they are very much like other Magna Charta bands, maybe more keyboard driven.

underrated but worth a listen I take it?

Thanks, I'm sure there are many that could use some hopefully good news as to a fourth album in the works.

I hope to have an interview with them a.s.ap.

which means I have to chase them up again to reply to my questions.
