Michael Bennet and Co. are in the planning stages for ProgDay again this year which will take place as usual Labor Day Weekend.

Progtoberfest in Chicago has also been announced for the weekend of Oct 19, 20, 21. Soft Machine, Plastic People Of The Universe and Il Castello di Atlante have been announced so far for that one.

Plastic People?? !!

[Trane]

Thanks Ian for your usual yearly thread creation....
I'd looked for it a couple of weeks ago to warn of a cancelllation (or delay... they're thinking of a change of formula) of Belgium's principal prog event Prog-Resiste Fetsival/Convention.

For the last 6 or 7 years, the event was organized by two (even three) organization: the Prog-Resiste Magazine, the TPE (Tournai Prog Event) and Alter Ego, the latter being +/- the hosting organization, and active since 2002, I believe. Just so you know the PR magazine organizing gang has decided not to organize the event in late April, but it doesn't mean that something won't be held later on this year.

OTOH, Alter Ego chose to keep the date and organize a differently-titled event called Les Intemporelles - Slow Music Festival over the two days, but it appears that only the first day (Saturday April 21st) will be interesting for music fans... I've posted two weeks ago a topic about Thierry Zaboitzeff's new project, and he will be playing his first concert at that event.

Indeed, the Slow Festival general theme (already apparent in the name) is a reflection upon slowing down modern life speeds and taking time to live, and the Sunday will be developped more about other aspects of life (slow food, relaxation methods, etc...) in the original Alter Ego location in Braine le Comte (10 kms away)

Plastic People?? !!

Supposedly it is an exclusive. Here is the announcement from back in November:

BIG HEADLINER ANNOUNCEMENT #2:

Progtoberfest Festival IV is is very excited to welcome, all the way from the Czech Republic, the LEGENDARY The Plastic People of the Universe!! An EXCLUSIVE performance you won’t see anywhere else in the U.S. except at this festival!!! Next year will mark their 50TH ANNIVERSARY as a band, so they have something very special in store for us!! Progtoberfest IV will be October 19-21, 2018!

From January into August 1968, under the rule of Communist Party leader Alexander Dubček, Czechoslovakians experienced the Prague Spring. In August, Soviet and other Warsaw Pact troops invaded Czechoslovakia. This led to the overthrow of Dubček and to, in what came to be known as the normalization process. Less than a month after the invasion, Plastic People of the Universe was formed.

Bassist Milan Hlavsa formed the band which was heavily influenced by Frank Zappa (Plastic People being a song by Zappa and the Mothers of Invention) and the Velvet Underground in 1968. Czech art historian and cultural critic Ivan Jirous became their manager/artistic director in the following year, fulfilling a similar role the one Andy Warhol had with the the Velvet Underground. Jirous introduced Hlavsa to guitarist Josef Janicek, and viola player Jiri Kabes. The consolidated Czech communist government revoked the band's musicians license in 1970.

Because Ivan Jirous believed that English was the lingua franca of rock music, he employed Paul Wilson, a Canadian who had been teaching in Prague, to teach the band the lyrics of the American songs they covered and to translate their original Czech lyrics into English. Wilson served as lead singer for the Plastics from 1970 to 1972, and during this time, the band's repertoire drew heavily on songs by the Velvet Underground and the Fugs. The only two songs sung in Czech in this period were "Na sosnové větvi" and "Růže a mrtví", lyrics of both being written by Czech poet Jiří Kolář. Wilson encouraged them to sing in Czech. After he left saxophonist Vratislav Brabenec joined the band and they began to draw upon Egon Bondy whose work had been banned by the government. In the following 3 years Bondy's lyrics nearly completely dominated the PPU music. In December 1974 the band recorded their first "studio" album, Egon Bondy's Happy Hearts Club Banned (the title being a play on The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band), which was released in France in 1978.

In 1974, thousands of students traveled from Prague to the town of České Budějovice to visit "the Plastics" performance. Stopped by police, they were sent back to Prague, and several students were arrested. The band was forced underground until the Velvet Revolution in 1989. Unable to perform openly, an entire underground cultural movement formed around the band during the 1970s.

In 1976 "the Plastics" and other people from underground were arrested and put on trial (after performing at the Third festival of the second culture) by the Communist government to make an example. They were convicted of "organized disturbance of the peace" and sentenced to terms in prison ranging from 8 to 18 months. Paul Wilson was deported even though he had left the band in 1972. It was in protest of these arrests and prosecution that led playwright Václav Havel and others to write the Charter 77.

In 1978 the PPU recorded Pašijové hry velikonoční (released in Canada as "The Passion Play" at Paul Wilson's company Boží mlýn). The lyrics were written earlier by Vratislav Brabenec. In 1979 followed Jak bude po smrti, being influenced by a Czech writer from the first half of the 20th century, Ladislav Klíma. In 1980 they rehearsed and performed a new record, recorded one year later, Co znamená vésti koně (released in Canada as "Leading Horses"). In 1982 Vratislav Brabenec was forced by the police to leave and emigrate to Austria. After he left, the band recorded its next record Hovězí porážka (1983) and Půlnoční myš (1986, Midnight Mouse).

Despite their clashes with the government, the musicians never considered themselves activists and always claimed that they wanted only to play their music. The band broke up in 1988, with some members forming the group Půlnoc (meaning "midnight" in Czech). At President Havel's suggestion, they reunited in 1997 in honor of the 20th anniversary of Charter 77, and have performed regularly since then.

[Steve F.]

They stayed at my house in 1986, with their KGB 'minder' before the wall fell.

Me and Jared; we'll never get that security clearance....

About a decade ago (so, 20 years later) I went to the Czech embassy to see them perform and there was also a [great] documentary film shown about them.

After the show, I went up to Joszef (keyboardist) who I remembered a little bit and waited in line to speak to him and I told him that I really enjoyed the performance and the film and that in 1986 he stayed at my wife's and my house when they were playing in Washington, DC and that I was really happy to see him again under such happy and changed circumstances.

He shook my hand and he looked deeply at me and he said, "I ... don't....think.....I remember you.....BUT I remember your house!"

You and Jared must be "rogue Jews". I got my top secret clearance in a matter of weeks when I was re-assigned in the Navy to a job that required one.

I was looking around online and I noticed in all the lists I have seen of prog festivals, there doesn't seem to be or have been any in Asia. Is that actually the case or am I missing something?

Great job on the thread by the way!

If I see any details on Asia festivals I'll add them but currently I'm not aware of any.

The Friday night show at Terra Igcognita is an ELP tribute (not Pink Floyd). I tend to skip the Friday night events at Terra Incognita.

Thanks for the info. I would have thought there would be more in the way of prog festivals there. Any idea why there wouldn't be much activity on that front?

Thanks for the info. I would have thought there would be more in the way of prog festivals there. Any idea why there wouldn't be much activity on that front?

One thought is that it is an extremely expensive undertaking to bring musicians from outside of Asia to Japan. So the usual 'prog' suspects from England, European continent, USA, etc are prohibitively expensive, making the act of putting on an international festival more daunting.

But this is merely a educated guess. I don't know.

I do know that in the 90s and early 00s, there were single day events of all Japanese progressive bands, at least a couple of times. I know that because I remember Happy Family appearing at them.

ProgPower seems a good add, Ramblin Man has both Fish and Chas & Dave so not so sure

Ha good point though in 2017 Ramblin' actually called one of their stages a "prog stage" and the line-up was:

Prog In The Park--

The Devin Townsend Project 19:00 – 20:25
Magnum 17:10 – 18:10
Focus 15:50 – 16:40
Martin Turner ex Wishbone Ash 14:30 – 15:20
Civil War Reenactment 14:00 – 14:30
Iamthemorning 13:20 – 13:55
The Gift 12:25 – 13:00

This year it looks like it's Fish, Sons of Apollo, Mostly Autumn and Von Hertzen Brothers.

I tend to err on the side of over-inclusion personally especially with more marginalized music. I wonder if any other non prog festival has more prog. Maybe one of the big metal festivals on the harder side of things but I would love to know if anyone knows of a big all purpose festival which features prog more than others.

Also, maybe you should include Be Prog My Friend: http://www.beprogmyfriend.com/18/en/home/ and 2 Days Prog +1 : https://www.facebook.com/VerunoProgRockFestival
