Can't wait for 2015 to see if this album was worth the wait. Two great talents fronting this ensemble.

Hi all, We're called Reload, a prog rock band. Just thought you might be interested in supporting our Kickstarter EP project. (launched 21st August 2014 ! )  We may not be Jon Anderson or Genesis but would certainly "appreciate" any support to get our project off the ground :)  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/reload/dark-matter-progressive-rock-debut-ep



I really hope we can generate support for our project !

Thanks 

Paul

The song samples posted for Kickstarter contributors sound fantastic!!  I'm pumped, this will be one hell of a super-group!!  

As soon as something becomes available, I'll post it for PA.  This is a notable lineup, the guitarist is hot! 

The Anderson Ponty Band also includes

Jamie Dunlap on guitars - well known as a film and television composer, most notably South Park.

Wally Minko on keyboards - virtuoso player and composer who has performed and recorded with many worldwide stars including Pink, Toni Braxton, Jean-Luc Ponty, Tom Jones and Barry Manilow.

Baron Browne on bass who has played with Steve Smith, Billy Cobham and Jean-Luc Ponty.

Rayford Griffin on drums and percussion, who has played with Stanley Clarke Band, George Duke, Jean-Luc Ponty and Michael Jackson.

I don't mind backing smaller artists who are struggling but not those who had the money and wasted it.

This is easier: 


I'm a backer of the $60.00 package, which isn't a bad deal. 




I can't swing this right now. Does anyone know if the CD/DVD will be released through the regular shops?
(I imagine it will?)

Very interesting. I love them both, but they sure come from very different musical worlds. Let's hope for a successful merger like Plant/Krauss, and not a stinker like Metallica/Lou Reed.

I'm a backer of the $60.00 package, which isn't a bad deal.  This is a very unique way to generate buzz, I'm sure the project is a "go" already.  

Not sure about the backing musicians, I wish Daryl Stuermer was the guitarist!  He's played with Ponty and was amazing with Genesis, live.  

The Anderson Ponty Band also includes

Jamie Dunlap on guitars - well known as a film and television composer, most notably South Park.

Wally Minko on keyboards - virtuoso player and composer who has performed and recorded with many worldwide stars including Pink, Toni Braxton, Jean-Luc Ponty, Tom Jones and Barry Manilow.
