I am the vocalist and second guitarist in an original prog band. The music is melodic hard rock with funk and jazz overtones. The lyrics I have written are never blatant and are always poetic, keeping in the with the tradition and sublime nature of prog.

Can I get partial cred for doing sound and lights, and humping the PA and drum kit for 5 years? OK, not exactly prog either, it was a jazz-rock/fusion band that had to do top 40 covers to survive. |

I use to play in a Band in my early 20s. I still have all my keyboard gear but I haven't played in a band for years now. We use to play some Genesis ,Yes ,Supertramp,& classic rock stuff . -We wern't pros but did all right. I'd like to have a band today but the problem is: -Trying to fing guys around my age -who want to do prog&Rock -who still don't dream of being "Rock Stars" -who still have their equipement -and whose wives would let them out to play. Not as easy as it sounds to have a band in your late 30s |

Trust me on this one. Your love life stinks very much bad when you do sound/lights/roadie on the weekends, rather than take women out on dates. |

I can play soprano, alto and tenor saxophone and I have been in a cover-band for a few months, but we only played stupid pop songs and rock 'n' roll. The band is disbanded now and I'd love to play Frank Zappa's music...

we would never dare call ourselves a band and disturb our reputation as avant-garde "artistes," but I helped found a "collective: devoted to improvisation in light and sound in Minneapolis, called sensor re:engine. the senses regard the engine, the engine re:engineers the senses. armed with an enormous array of computers, synthesizers, ethnic percussion and woodwinds, and toy laser pistols, we try to raise human consciousness to the seventh sphere of heaven. everything is improvised, even lyrics, and everything we've ever recorded is free in high resolution mp3 at www.waste.org/sensor I promise that 75% of what's there isn't crap. -freyacat |

Sounds like you need to see 2 bands, both of whom I know tour extensively in Europe: The Grand Mothers - a collection of various ex Zappa musicians fronted by Napoleon Murphy Brock, who perform '70's era Zappa. The Muffin Men - a group from Liverpool who perform a cross section of Zappa material & who are more often than not fronted by Jimmy Carl Black |
