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. Go to www.echoes.org to find an Echoes station near you." 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. -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |
