   Thought this might be of interest:

"Echoes producers John Diliberto and Jeff Towne were at last weekend's

NEARfest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and they've produced a short

feature about it, which is airing tonight and Sunday on Echoes

(Thursday on WXPN Philadelphia). Here's a description:

PROG-ROCK LIVES!

For many, progressive rock, the sound of groups like Yes, King Crimson

and Emerson, Lake and Palmer, died in 1976 when the Ramones released

their first album. But not only do many bands from that era still

thrive, but a second and third generation has emerged. On the popular

front, that's marked by groups like Mars Volta, with top 5 Billboard

charting albums. But this isn't news to the people at Nearfest, the

North East Art Rock Festival. Since 1999 they've been selling out 1800

seat venues in Trenton, New Jersey and Allentown, PA with a roster of

vintage and new art rock. This year's festival for the weekend of July

8 sold out in 30 minutes. We talk to festival founders and musicians

who played this year's featival, including PFM, Steve Roach, and The

Muffins, about a progressive rock rebirth.

take care.

	There is also a feature on Krautrock on the German radio channel WDR 3 at 11pm German time (in about 20 minutes). Sadly it is not accessible online, but we live in Cologne and will listen to it. Edited by BaldJean
