Hello,

NOVEMBER 26 2007 - Performing for the first time in Canada, Italian symphonic rock group Il Banco del Mutuo Soccorso will be a headlining act at the 2008 edition of the FMPM. Existing since 1969, Banco has released some of the undisputed classics of the progressive rock era, including Darwin!, Io Sono Nato Libero, and ...di Terra. With beautiful classically oriented compositions and the powerful vocals of Francesco di Giacomo, Banco is considered by many to be the greatest Italian progressive group. Renowned for their live performances, Banco has been to North America only a handful of times, and the FMPM will feature a different set than what they have played on the continent until then.

The 2008 edition of the FMPM will take place on September 13th and 14th 2008, at the Centre Pierre Peladeau in Montreal Quebec. For more information about this event, please visit our web-site at http://www.fmpm.net/ - http://www.fmpm.net

Sean

YES ! For once in my life I get the informations about a concert at the right time. I usually just learn that there was a concert two days before it happens... so I'm just too late...
 
I won't miss this one.

I had shivers down my spine when I saw that annoucement... Banco is my favorite Italian Symphonique prog bad ever and I won't miss that show for nothing in the world ! The last two editions of the FMPM were great and I'm really looking forward for this one.
 
The FMPM has now become, for me and my freinds a tradition. Taking a two and a half hour road trip to Montreal every september to open ourselves to awsome music is just magical. I'm really eager to see the Line-Up, I hope Octobre will reform and do a show, theey are my favorite Québécois prog Band !

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED AT FMPM 2008
Montreal-based avant-metal act http://www.unexpect.com/ - unexpecT will tear the roof off at the third annual FMPM. unexpecT is “a metal laboratory mixing elements of black, death, core, symphonic, progressive and melodic metal; classical, operatic, medieval, goth, electro, ambient, psychotic, noise and circus music with an occasional jazzy touch.” A seven-piece group featuring guitars, keyboards, a 9-string bass, violin, drums, and vocals, their 2006 release
In a Flesh Aquarium was released on pioneering metal label The End Records and has been nominated for several independent metal awards. While it is patently absurd to compare this group to anyone, progressive music fans with an affinity for genre-challenging groups such as Sleepytime Gorilla Museum will find much to enjoy in the power and creativity of unexpecT.

Incredible ! I saw them live a month ago or so in Ottawa, it was amizing. I couldn't believe the energy and the intensity they were displaying on stage.. It's crazi stuff.
 
I wonder if prog purists at the Fmpm will like that, I hope so :)

DECEMBER 8 2007 - Poland's Riverside has made a name for themselves over the past five years with the "Reality Dream" trilogy of releases. From 2003's "Out of Myself" (on the Laser's Edge label), 2005's "Second Life Syndrome" and 2007's "Rapid Eye Movement" (both on the InsideOut label), they have developed a growing following with a melodically attractive, sometimes heavy, sometimes psychedelic sound. Crunchy guitars, atmospheric keyboard passages and Mariusz Duda's powerful vocals have combined to make Riverside one of the most popular groups straddling the line between progressive rock and progressive metal. The music on these albums has been compared to groups as diverse as Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Pink Floyd, and Pain of Salvation, but one also hears similarities to the Polish neo-progressive school of Collage, Satellite, Quidam, and others. Riverside performed for the first time in North America at NEARFest 2006, and they have played a number of art rock festivals in Europe. After supporting Dream Theater on European dates earlier this year, they are now touring in support of Rapid Eye Movement. FMPM 2008 will be Riverside's first performance in Canada.

Riverside joins a line-up that includes Banco del Mutuo Soccorso and UnexpecT. For more information about the FMPM please visit our web-site at http://www.fmpm.net/ - www.fmpm.net

Magenta was formed in 2001 by ex-Cyan member Rob Reed. Debut album "Revolutions" was a mixture of Yes, Genesis, and Renaissance highlighted by the vocals of Christina Booth, a former collaborator with the group Trippa who had also guested with Cyan. The success of this album led to the formation of a live band to perform it, and 2004 saw the release of the first full-band album, "Seven". With a concept based on the seven deadly sins, "Seven" was a large leap forward that firmly established Magenta at the forefront of the modern British symphonic prog movement. 2006 saw the release of "Home", a concept album with some shorter pieces that combined the established style of the band with a progressive pop influence that Reed has applied in other projects. Regular live performances and festival appearances at Baja Prog, Rosfest, and NEARfest has kept the group tight and their reputation growing. The fourth Magenta studio album is slated for release in early 2008 and while certainly appealing to the classic prog fan, contains some new elements in the band's sound as well as some epic-length tracks. FMPM 2008 will be the sole North American show next year in support of this album.

Sean

Hello,

We have been getting lots of requests regarding ticket sales with our recent announcements that Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Riverside, Magenta and UnexpecT will be performing at FMPM 2008. Due to anticipated strong demand, the Gold Ticket seating area at the Pierre Peladeau Center will be expanded, and we are now officially accepting reservations for Gold Tickets only. Gold Tickets entitle the holders to reserve the best seats, and provide essential funding for festival operations, including our world-class line-up. FMPM 2008 tickets will be offered as follows:

1) Gold Ticket holders from 2007 can reserve the same seats they had by contacting us at mailto:[email protected] - [email protected] with the purchaser's name and the number of tickets desired. Previous Gold Ticket holders can reserve a larger number of Gold Tickets than they purchased in 2007, and so in some cases seats may not be identical to last year's, but will be very close to last year's seats.

2) Everyone else interested in purchasing Gold Tickets for FMPM 2008 can also reserve Gold Tickets by contacting us at mailto:[email protected] - [email protected] with the purchaser's name and the number of tickets desired. For these reservations, the exact seats will not be known until purchased, however you can let us know your preferences (i.e. seats nearer to the stage or further back in the center) and we will reserve you seats as close as we can to your preferred location.

3) Gold Ticket reservations will be accepted between now and January 31st, 2008, following which Gold Tickets will officially go on sale the next day on Friday February 1, 2008 at 8 am at http://www.progquebec.com/ - www.progquebec.com . All those who reserved Gold Tickets must pay for them by Friday February 15, 2008, after which time reservations will no longer be guaranteed and all seats will be assigned. The price per Gold Ticket for FMPM 2008 will be $175.

4) Regular Tickets will go on sale in March 2008, once Gold ticket sales are finalized.

We would like to acknowledge all those who helped launch Le Festival des Musiques Progressives by purchasing tickets for the first two editions, and extend our advanced thanks to all those who plan on continuing to support FMPM by attending in 2008.

Regards,
Sean

Hello,

Belgian chamber rock group and original Rock in Opposition member Univers Zero will headline the Sunday portion of FMPM 2008. Formed in the mid-1970s by drummer and leader Daniel Denis, Univers Zero has undergone several transformations during its existence, from dark acoustic chamber music inspired by Béla Bartók and H.P. Lovecraft, to a more electronic sound with use of synthesizers in the 1980s, and finally a more melodic, refined chamber-rock for the new Millennium. The ten CD releases that catalogue these three periods are acclaimed by followers of new music and Univers Zero have influenced countless other groups being practically the blueprint for chamber-rock. After avoiding live performance for decades, the modern incarnation of Univers Zero embraced it, with powerful appearances at festivals in Europe and a headlining performance at NEARFest 2004. Their first ever live album was released on Cuneiform Records in 2006, and their first album "1313" is to be reissued by Cuneiform in mid-2008. The current line-up of Univers Zero features Daniel Denis (drums), Michel Berckmans (woodwinds), Andy Kirk (keyboards and guitar), Martin Lauwers (violin), Eric Plantain (bass), and Kurt Budé (clarinet, sax). Univers Zero is currently working on a new studio album.

More information about Univers Zero: http://www.univers-zero.com/ - http://www.univers-zero.com/

The third edition of the FMPM takes place September 13 and 14, 2008. For more information about the FMPM please visit our web-site at http://www.fmpm.net/ - www.fmpm.net

That line baffles me, as I have seen countless recordings of the band from the late seventies and early eighties.

Jake, they basically did not play live from the 80s through about 2003. I understand there were more gigs during the RIO days (that being the purpose of RIO).

Happy Monday!

Charles Kaczynski was a violinist with the pioneering musique actuelle group Conventum in the late 1970s. After leaving the group, he released his solo masterpiece "Lumière de la Nuit" on which he played more than a dozen instruments. An obscurity long treasured by collectors, it was finally reissued on CD by ProgQuebec in 2005. Featuring a heavy string presence, with piano, guitar, woodwinds, and percussion, this mostly instrumental suite has elements of folk and chamber music and is reminiscent of Mike Oldfield, l'Engoulevent, Flairck, and others. Charles has stayed active in music performing in a variety of settings and styles, and has worked as the musical director and performer with the Cirque Éloize. This September Charles will give an hour-long performance of "Lumière de la Nuit", which will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness one of the highlights of the 1970s progressive music scene in Quebec.

Sean

World-class fusion trio Spaced Out will hit the stage this September at FMPM 2008. Formed by bassist Antoine Fafard and originally having the name Cortex, several different line-ups came and went before the group were signed to Unicorn to release their first album (self-titled) in 2000. They were the first band on Unicorn apart from label founder Michel St-Père's own Mystery, and are to this day one of its most popular and best-selling groups. Drummer Martin Maheux has been there since 1998, while guitarist Mark Tremblay has been with the group since the live dates following their second album, entitled "Eponymus II". Two studio albums have followed in recent years, 2003's "Slow Gin" and 2006's "Unstable Matter", which was the heaviest to date, allowing touches of metal to fuse with the jazz and rock influences already present. During this time the group has stayed active in a live setting, performing at NEARFest, as well as the Crescendo Festival in France. Two live DVDs are available to demonstrate their prowess. The music of the group is a heavy instrumental fusion that is compared to everything from Return to Forever to Planet X, with Fafard's own bass style reminiscent at times of Jaco Pastorius.

I`ve seen this band on a few occasions and they really smoke. I  have a couple of their CDs and I also believe I wrote a review here for their excellent Slow Gin CD. As for the mastermind Antoine Fafard I would place him closer to Alain Caron. Pastorious Confused ???
As for this Montréal festival, I`ve already spoke my mind about it last summer here so......Sleepy.

Some bad news and good news with the FMPM line-up. Rob Reed of Magenta is going to be a father in September, which unfortunately means no gigging for the group at that time. Although we had already signed the contract with the group, we did not feel it was 4reasonable to ask them to perform in a situation where their hearts would be elsewhere. We wish Rob all the best with the new album and his family, and have expressed to Magenta our desire to work together in 2009.

Luckily for us, Dutch modern symphonic rock group Knight Area has agreed to join the FMPM line-up for 2008. Knight Area released their first album, "The Sun Also Rises", in 2004. This album featured old and new material from the band members, some dating back to the 1980s, and quickly made a splash in the progressive rock community leading to an appearance at NEARfest 2005. As promising as the first album was, 2007's "Under a New Sign" takes the group to the next level, with an approach and quality very comparable to British group (and past FMPM headliners) IQ. I would also compare the sound at times to Steve Hackett's solo album "Voyage of the Acolyte." These days with many modern/neo progressive groups changing to heavier or poppier styles, Knight Area shows a mastery of the conventions of symphonic rock, and will delight their growing fanbase in Montreal this coming September.

Although we regret having to change our line-up, we are very excited we had the opportunity to invite Knight Area as a result and it is my belief that this is the strongest FMPM to date. The full line-up for the 2008 event is as follows:

Banco del Mutuo Soccorso
Univers Zero
Riverside
Knight Area
UnexpecT
Charles Kaczynski
Spaced Out

As always, more info at http://www.fmpm.net/ - http://www.fmpm.net and we would love to see you there.

Gold ticket sales begin this Friday, February 1st, and run through the 15th.

PREMIER CIEL to present HARMONIUM at FMPM 2008
Interference Sardines to replace UnexpecT

Le Festival des Musiques Progressives de Montreal (FMPM) is pleased to announce that Harmonium tribute band Premier Ciel will perform on Friday September 12th, 2008 at the Centre Pierre Peladeau as the pre-show of this year's festival. Formed in 2002, Premier Ciel has gained increased renown for its authentic live renditions of the Harmonium repertoire, and is the only ensemble authorized by Serge Fiori to publicly perform this legendary group's works. Premier Ciel's current line-up includes seven world-class musicians, with the same configuration as the L'Heptade live tour. The group will perform material from all the Harmonium albums, in two distinct sets. Please visit http://www.premierciel.com/ - www.premierciel.com for more information. Tickets to the Premier Ciel show will be sold separately as described further below.

Quebec City's Interference Sardines will be replacing UnexpecT, who have received an opportunity to tour the Southern US during
September. This has given FMPM the chance to invite one of Quebec's finest experimental groups instead. With a style combining rock, musique actuelle, improv, folk, jazz, and everything else, most progressive rock fans would most easily classify them as avant-progressive. The band has just released their third album, Spot de Rue, and their entire catalog is available at http://www.waysidemusic.com/ - www.waysidemusic.com .

The complete line-up for FMPM 2008 is as follows: Banco del Mutuo Soccorso (Italy), Univers Zero (Belgium), Riverside (Poland), and Knight Area (Holland), and three groups from Quebec: Charles Kaczynski, Spaced Out, and Interference Sardines, all performing on Saturday September 13 and Sunday September 14, plus Premier Ciel who are performing on Friday September 12. For more information please go to http://www.fmpm.net/ - http://www.fmpm.net .
