Got my 3-day pass! $75 is a steal, especially for this lineup! :)

New 'single' just released today. This is going to be another great album!

Nice tribute...
Not that it matters (although somebody might find this interesting), the reason I got into music a bit earlier than some is that my family just moved to Japan (my Dad was in the Air Force) and there...
And excellent young band that has the potential to produce some truly astounding music in the future. :up
From Valen's excellent review: "The album must have seemed like quite a musical revelation back then, with its mixture of radio friendly songs and more intricate and improvised arrangements."
Yes...
New Rolling Stone Interview with Steve Howe:
RS: "Most inductees pick three songs to play. How will you pick those?"
Steve: "It'll be pretty hard. I guess I would say that for us,...
As of tonight, this new (quite unexpected) effort is #1 not only in the category "Prog Rock", but also for "All Rock" on the Bandcamp site.
And Pete's "Seven Stones Turned" Genesis covers release...
Truly free. I'm amazed there's no way to follow them or give them some money (i.e. name your price) on their Bandcamp site. On first listen, I'm intrigued. Thanks for the introduction!
Wow! Finally a band plays two dates on either side of me (Seattle and Port Angeles, WA). Road Warriors for sure! Will certainly try to make both. :horns :horns

This is truly one of the better releases of 2016, IMO.
I just received this in an e-mail today:
"You are receiving this email because you purchased tickets to the Ozric Tentacles show on April 15 at Nectar.
Unfortunately, Ozric Tentacles is canceling...
I think Cailyn's "Voyager" is one of the better releases of 2015. :up

It's unfortunate that a lot of good music goes unnoticed today, simply...
I connect my laptop to my 90's Pioneer amp (via an Audioquest 3.5mm to RCA cable - $25 to $35 depending on length). I do play FLAC/WAV files mostly (occasionally some MP3 320 kbps) and find the...
Seen 'em a couple of times since the departure of Martin Barre. Ian's new band is accomplished, and the shows very worthwhile. :up
I was pleasantly surprised to see this album thread. "Silver Lining" has been one of my surprise favorite discoveries of this year (yeah, it was a late discovery as I think the album was late in...
One of the pleasant surprises of 2015!
(If you're 'slow' like me) This release requires multiple listens to fully appreciate what Patric has accomplished.
I do believe this is my favorite 'surprise' album of 2015 so far. These guys were nowhere on my radar (despite being fairly local for me) until they released this album just before I saw them at...

The new band Built For The Future's "Chasing Light" get better with every listen (I was lucky enough to get one of the physical copies). I think this is another case of a new artist not...
If I could get Free Drinks directly from the Internet on my computer, it would be a tie. Maybe somebody can get Al Gore to work on that one... :beer ;)
Welcome to PE, King Llama! Lesson #1: Know Your Audience. You probably should have labeled your post "FREE DRINKS" - that would have prompted more responses here at PE. ;)
Seriously, I...
I've been relatively successful in making friends with the local Giant Hogweed out here on the Olympic Peninsula (WA State)... with the exception of that nagging burning rash, that is! :O

I think Pete Jones is a great talent. He has, so far, managed to keep a sense of wonder and playfulness in his Prog craft. Listening brings one back to a time when we all initially had those...
+ :up
I've played some of the longer tracks from both Urban Nomad and Teleharmonium on my radio show in recent weeks. I love it when I find new bands that 'click' with me.
Teleharmonium is a...
Welcome to 'Cascadia' (be sure to look it up if you're not familiar)!
+1 :up on Dissonati.
And since you're close (3-1/2 hours), be sure to get to the SeaProg Festival August 7-9 in Columbia...
Prog Terrorists....... there's a new one!
Sorry for all the trouble you're having to go through, John, but the new domain name works like a charm; good work!
The only thing that kept "Cocoon" off of many people's Best of 2014 List was that it was just released on December 15th. There was originally no intent of releasing this at all - it was a personal...

I ordered my physical copy yesterday. E-mailing with the R.A.I.G. label, I was told there are limited copies. So if you're inclined, you might not want to wait too long.
No, Joe. That means HONDO will buy me a beer (see his generous offer below) and I'll 'consider' passing it to you... remember, I'm cheap! :D Besides, I seem to remember you having a pretty good...
Having attended both the inaugural and last year's SeaProg events, it was a no-brainer to buy my Weekend Pass already. There's no better event I know of that allows attendees to get to know the...
+1 on getting D97 to the Left Coast. SF..... Portland.... Seattle..... Vancouver BC.
Snarky Puppy..... :up :up
"C'mon Children" by The Out Crowd (with Matt Hollywood formerly of Brian Jonestown Massacre). Psychedelic....
Just in...........in a blatant act of one-upsmanship, SW will have FOUR (4) drummers for the US Tour. Just in my mind, that is. ;)
Just some FB post......not official, so could be bogus. That's why I always turn to the experts at PE.
I was really looking forward to seeing Guthrie for the first time. Marco was mesmerizing...
I just saw a Facebook post that indicated neither Marco Minnemann nor Guthrie Govan would be on the U.S./Canada legs of the Hand.Cannot.Erase. Tour.
Does anyone know if this is true? And if so,...
Don't know if anyone has seen this, but more accolades for KC 8.0: "Best NEW Touring Band for 2014". Ha!
...
Prog Nerd +1.
I watched part of last year's Super Bowl in a sporting goods store with Pete. Transatlantic's gear hadn't made it on time to Everett, WA and so there was time to burn. He came in...
Got it quite a while ago.
Love it.....still!
Highly recommended. :up
Got it. Love it. But maybe it's just a WA State thing........ ;)
The last time I saw Vernon Reid it was with Spectrum Road - Jack Bruce, Cindy Blackman (now Blackman-Santana), and John...
Have tix in hand for October 6th in Seattle. Will have tix this Friday for Adrian Belew Power Trio if all goes well. Stoked for both!
90% is good enough odds for me! Sign me up! :up
I certainly echo most of the comments above. I was there for every band Fri-Sun with the exception of Midday Veil (sorry Emily/guys, but I had to work very early Monday), and every band poured it...
It was GREAT fun last year with miRthkon, Moraine, Thinking Plague and all the other bands last year.
This year's bill is also very strong. At only $60 for all three days.........I'm there!
Delusion Squared - "The Final Delusion"
Frequency Drift - "Over"
Glass Hammer - "Ode To Echo"
Spoke Of Shadows - s/t
The Knells - s/t (technically late November 2013, but needs a mention, IMO)

Saw night #2 of the tour in Seattle. It was truly a Roxy-nostalgia-fest, and I left feeling very satisfied that I got my money's worth. Seeing Jorja Chalmers (oh, and Bryan too) perform was worth...
I think "Subliminal Plastic Motives" is one of my guilty-pleasure pop albums (crap, did I just admit that?). I used to crank this with the kids in the car (which probably explains the way they've...
Bob Lefsetz is on Wordpress, and runs a blog called "Lefsetz Letter" which I've subscribed to for a few years (as do a lot of others). He's opinionated about many, many things (especially how the...
I used to do a bit of business up at NC3A (back when it was the SHAPE Technical Center) down by the beach (I was posted in Belgium). So I can actually speak a fairly decent 'Scheveningen' (and I...
Last year was great fun!
Got my kitchen pass from home and time off work, so purchased my 2-day ticket this weekend and will see you in June, John. Looking forward to hearing who the Sunday...
I just received mine - took three weeks, so don't despair (yet). Just over $10 including shipping! Such an unexpected deal.
Got mine coming! C'mon March 11th.
BTW, it's really good to hear Susie's voice again.
Full disclosure, Adrian: I'm old enough to have an NFL team (Packers) and an AFL team (Broncos). Packers fan since birth (and now also an owner); Broncos fan 'only' since 1967. Oh, and you're a...
Welcome to PE, fellow prog DJ! This is a great resource, full of wonderful, like-minded people (well, most of the time we're like-minded).
Very cool site. Thanks for this, Progman!
Thanks Thomas, but that's what one does when one chooses to live at the 'end of the world', and Transatlantic makes possibly their only Seattle appearance. Although now very tired, I'm still glad I...
I feel your pain, Adrian. I'm from Port Townsend (about 2-1/2 hours and a ferry ride away), so with timing the ferry ride, I arrived at 4 PM. After a few minutes I discovered the delay only from...
I'll be there in Everett (Seattle) today, even though my Denver Broncos will be playing. Who knew way back when I bought tickets?
Anyway, I'll be 'representing' stealth-mode (t-shirt...
