i've played in a prog rock/metal band for several years(butterfly pie), first on vocals, later on on the synths. currently i'm playing synthesizer in a kind of NU-meatl band...just started off, we are developing ;)
i'm curious, are there more musicians among us? ------------- Live Long and Prosper... |

I used to front a Genesis/Yes cover band called "Frost." Way back in the late 70s, early 80s. It was the most fun I've ever had as a performer. We did lots of Genesis (from Can Utility to Squonk to Down and Out), and Yes (including all of Close to the Edge). Also some Gabriel (D.I.Y., On The Air), Crimson (Larks Tongues), U.K. (Nothing to Lose), Asia (Heat of the Moment). I currently front (don't laugh, please) an Elton John tribute band that is very hot in the NYC market. Called "Rocket Men," we do a one-hour tribute of EJ's greatest, plus some obscure ones. I sometimes do the shows in the kind of full regalia he was known for in the 70s- wild outfits, top hat, crazy glasses, glitzy rings, feather boas, high-heeled platform shoes, etc. It's great fun. (I hope this won't get me kicked off a prog site!! Anyway, I've been a performing musician since my single digits, and have always done something musical. Peace. |

Perhaps a song like "Rocket Man" (ever heard the beautiful Kate Bush version?) could qualify as "Progressive Pop," as could maybe the entire "Madman Across the Water" LP.

You're both right of course, Danbo and Jim. Holdsworth and Mclaughlin are both awesome! I know Holdsworth best from his work with UK, Bruford, and Jean Luc Ponty's '77 fusion masterpiece, "Enigmatic Ocean." A true axesmith. What are Holdsworth's newer solo works like, Danbo? Jazz fusion or what?

Yes, A Tale of Two Cities is a great novel. I also highly recommend David Copperfield (if 950-page Victorian novels don't put you off) and (the much shorter) Oliver Twist and Great Expectations. Great reading with some choice instrumental music in the background. The BBC productions of Dickens' works (and Victorian novels in general) are also top-notch.

Allan Holdsworth's newer stuff is in the Jazz vein, however, he is his own genre. Check out "All Night Wrong" incredible soloing LIVE. He's also involved in some newer prog bands, Atlantis and K-2 |

Jim: kudos on your "gom jabbar" reference! Peter: If any of EJ's material is "prog," it would have to be some of the later stuff, especially some of the stuff on GYBR (esp. Funeral for a Friend) and Capt. Fantastic. Still, the early albums had lots of non-standard instruments (to say nothing of keyboards and strings), and songs like "Madman" and "Mission" do have some "progressive sensibilities." Good call.

"Jean Luc Ponty's '77 fusion masterpiece, "Enigmatic Ocean." I have that one, got in on disc because it's just so damn tasy, lots of great interplay between Holdsworth and Stuermer (sp?). I have on cd now recordings me and the guys did as 'Agatha Soup' twenty years ago; I played bass guitar for quite a while, never professionally though (bit of stagefright, always played better by myself). My friend, the improvisational lead vocalist, transferred them recordings from cassette to disc, which did take quite a while. Among the largely improvisational ramblings there are covers of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood and Mary Had a Little Lamb, and poor little Mary takes quite a bit of abuse in the lyrics. ------------- 'This is a local shop, there's nothing for you here' |

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.

There is: http://www.geocities.com/owlsounds/owlsamples.html - www.geocities.com/owlsounds/owlsamples.html I also played in a band called Tony Island (as a bassist) that was a wacked mix of funk, biting Zappa-esque satire, early Yes and a dose of the blues. The instrumentation was Tony Island: Keys, vocals, woodwinds Tom Scotto: Drums, Percussion and little 'ol me on bass plus a few Special Guest Villains, 'er we mean musicians. http://www.tonyisland.com - www.tonyisland.com We managed to get a CD out before quetly dissolving (Tony relocated to upstate NY). It was great while it lasted though, the gigs were fun and we dropped some jaws.

We did a lot of cover work (Elton John, The Beatles, Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer, King Crimson) plus a good deal of self-written material. The group started as a trio, then developed into a foursome...then another foursome and then to the only two members which persisted through all revolving door process: the drum player and me!

I play guitar and viola, but the only band I've played in has two constant members (I'm one of them). We can't find a friggin' drummer, and I just went off to college. But I'm trying to form a prog band (although I'm probably not good enough yet). ------------- My recent purchases:

Well, nothing really special right now. I can hardly find anyone that matches my musical ambition, but well, I have hope. I will probably play some québécois folk music (on violin, of course) with friends, but nothing too special right now. Though recently I might start a project a la Fly Pan Am with two friends. I'd play drums, ut also try to extract the worst sounds you'd ever hear out of a violin... ------------- Vive le Québec libre!... |

I'm in a band that has a sound like a mixture of classic rock, a tiny bit of prog( althouhg this influence is increasing) some punk, grunge, and a ltittle metal and ambience Its good sh*t i'd say, but we are now writing stuff that's alot more proggy and that makes me happy! Our name is distortion and i play guitar and back up vocals ------------- I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t. -Stone Beard |

Well, i dont work with music full time
i play in two bands, one of them plays classic rock, purple, zeppelin, Floyd, Rush, Nazareth, Bob Dylan and whatever comes that way the other one is a Progressive rock band, in this one im even more perfectionist, playing shows with metronome so we can be in sync with DVDs i produce to match the playing (you guess should see we playing Echoes, by Floyd, in the end its a big jam, so it was kinda tricky to do the screen behind, but random images and psychedelic accelerated images worked BEAUTIFULLY) both of them writes their own music, and the classic rock one is where i get the money for my equipment, since the prog rock one is not so public friendly hehehehe i also produce a load of beggining bands (mostly emocore ones who wants to have a good guy representing them, tough none of them are getting far, im just ripping them off hehehehehe ) and stuff like that
quite a load of work for a 18 year old hehehehehe

I play piano and guitar. I was in a band, but quit it because they only
wanted to cover bullsh*t songs like 'Seven Nation Army' and
'Starcrossed'. It was a good choice because they now are really
worthless, and weren't allowed to the school's Battle of the Bands. I'm starting a prog-ish band with the old drummer, but I'll unfortunatly have to throw some pop-covers and metal elements through it because the dumbass idiots at the school wouldn't recognise good music even if it made sweet love to them (like it does to me). There's also this raggae-grunge band that I'm gonna play in, I'm good friends with the band leader/lead guitarist, and also live close to him. This is important 'cos I totally dig his younger sister. |

Something unserious called 'De Galschreeuwracers.'[Trancelated: The Galscreamracers.] The band consits of nothing but a drummer and a keyboarder/vocallist[Myself] and we're making a blackmetal subgenre we very HIMishly made our own called 'spockmetal', What we basically do is cover internet animations like Magical Trevor, and The Llama song in a blackmetal way. With only a drummer and a keyboarder. I'm also in an experimental ambient trance project called Stasis And I produce independantly under the name Xiaoj, more experimental metal and ambient and some techtrance and classical. ------------- Don't invest too much effort in your life, you won't make it out of it alive anyway. |

| I play in a small band since a few weeks, playing synth. We don't play prog though, just rock / blues / reggae / gospel, since I'm the only prog lover in the band. It's nice though, and we've only just started. |

I play in a band called http://www.aenigmaband.com - Ænigma ,
we're from Italy. Our genre is hard to classify, let's say a
progressive-thrash metal experiment... If you're curious our demo is
downloadable from our website http://www.aenigmaband.com - www.aenigmaband.com ------------- http://www.aenigmaband.com">

See thread on Malaysian prog-rock ... also in Music and Musician
Exchange ... that's me on lead vocals and keyboards ... for my former
band Samarkand (a prog band that had a Top 10 hit!) I now play bass in a folk-rock group called Mojo Pin ... fingers crossed that the album's ready next year ------------- "Death to Utopia!
