It looks like Kavus is playing at Gouveia Art Rock Festival on May 4 with Gong, the same day as the second Sing to Tim show in London. I'm a bit disappointed, since I (perhaps mistakenly) thought he...

It goes without saying...I'm pretty stoked for this! Was lucky to catch them twice on their brief visit to the US last year after thinking I'd missed my chance. What a phenomenal band!

I'm a...

A long awaited (by me) Cardiacs Family & Friends tribute concert to Tim has been announced for May 4, 2024 at the Garage in London.

I've had Visions of the Void by Red Fiction on constant rotation in the last few days--what a phenomenal album! Intense, dynamic, and incredibly varied instrumental music. It occurs to me I may have...

What an awesome weekend! I found a lot to enjoy in all 8 bands this year. I would say my personal highlights were Tu-Ner and WYTCTG, with Red Fiction and You Bred Raptors close behind.

That said,...

If anyone else is here, I’m the tall, young guy slowly turning red on the grass that’s wearing a white dog Bent Knee shirt. I’ve run into a few PE’ers from last year already—feel free to say hello!

Pre-orders for the book are live now. I just got mine! What are you waiting for?

It looks like a lot of the presale codes are on HackettSongs: http://hackettsongs.com/news/tour-foxtrot-at-fifty-north-america-2023.html

Was just able to pick up some great tickets for Durham!

"Interference Patterns" from the upcoming release was posted on the VdGG Facebook page yesterday.

It looks and sounds...

I'm super excited for this one! I was fortunate to attend three of the UK VdGG gigs this year, and this one was my favorite by far! The band was in great form, with some really interesting setlist...

In for Carrboro! These guys always put on a great show

I'm looking looking forward to this one! I knew they were recording, but this seems like quite a quick turnaround to release, especially these days.

A new single, I'm Done With You, is out now as...

I had such a blast at my first ProgDay. Such great music and great people (some of whom I know are on this site)!

For those of you who were there, I was in the Bent Knee dog T-Shirt on the first...

For me, I think it comes down to production. Compared to BK's other albums, YKWIM sounds much more compressed and harsh to my ears. I'm quite a fan of many of the songs, and was at the release...

You're not the only one :). Although I was initially put off by some of the production choices (i.e. autotune), Frosting grabbed me way more than I expected, and definitely much more then YKWTM. I'm...

The Live EP (Bent Knee on Audiotree Live) is now on Bandcamp, as well as your streaming platform of choice!

I think it was released in November by mistake, since it disappeared pretty quickly....

These guys really blew me away in 2019. I'm sad they're not coming to North Carolina this time around, but this gives me a great excuse to plan a weekend trip to Atlanta or Baltimore. I'm guessing...

Thank you so much for the offer! I've heard from someone separately who may be able to send me Flac files next week. If that doesn't work out, I may send a message your way.



This is an...

I really appreciate the reply, but unfortunately there's no Cleveland from this seller (or any others that I can see)

Hello PE community!

TL;DR: If you have this, I’d love to pay you $200 for it.

My first concert ever was Genesis in 2007 in Cleveland. My dad brought me along when I was 11. I don’t think it’s...

Thank you so much! I will make an effort.

I hope everyone here who has an upcoming show (or 7, as the case may be :)) has a fantastic time! This reunion seemed increasingly unlikely just a few...

I don't post on here too much, but I wrote up some rambling-ish thoughts about my recent experiences seeing this tour, and thought I'd share them (I've also posted them to the SH forums). I was...

Maybe the best show of the four I've seen from them and the longest! The setlist was (I believe):

The Whole New Album

Land Animal
Battle Creek
Leak Water
Holy Ghost
Way Too Long

Wow! That was quite awesome. It was a real pleasure to meet/see NogbadTheBad, Sputnik, and Rick L. as well! :^D

Rabbit Rabbit Radio was great as well.

I saw them in Boston last week and thought they were awesome! Unfortunately, only ~15 other people there. More people should know about this band.

Also had a chance to chat with their bassist...

Absolutely phenomenal!!! A pleasure to meet you as well.

^ His tour this summer isn't a Utopia tour, like the one discussed in this thread. It's an "Unpredictable Todd" tour.

Wow! This is awesome. I just picked up Manhoo, Odd Even, Signs, and Hazel, all of which I never thought I would get due to the CDs being prohibitively expensive. Excited to dig into some unheard...

Ooh...this interests me. Do you recall how they shortened the song?

It's great to hear you enjoyed the performance! I'm hoping to catch them when they come to the US

Uh...I'm pretty sure "Walls" is the only track that fades out on this one. Everything else has an ending.

A few updates on Tim's FB today:

"Hello everyone. This is Sharron here on Tim's Facebook page. Please think positive thoughts for our beautiful leader today. Please don't ask why or raise a panic....

^ I believe they have played Breathless as well (from RF's Exposure album). Not sure if there's anything else.

And now Level 5!

^I'm glad to hear you like it! It was somewhat of an impulse purchase, so I'm excited/interested to get into it.

Fine, Steve. If you insist on making your prices more reasonable. :) I got:

William D Drake - Rising of the Lights (heard good things about this in the Cardiacs thread)
NSRO - I a Moon (loved...

Have you heard the two K-Group albums, Enter K and Patience? There's some fantastic material on those I would consider both rocking and a bit funky.

Try this:
...

Also, I don't think I saw this posted, but I came across it today. This may be the best video on the internet:

The next tiny Bob Leith...

I do indeed. :-)

So...due in part to my dad giving me a Wayside gift card for my birthday, I just placed an order that will bring my Cardiacs collection pretty close to complete. This is what I got:

Cardiacs -...

PE friends, I have two tickets for tomorrow night's show at the Hollywood Bowl and found out I won't be able to make it. They are Section P3, adjacent seats 9 & 11 (near the middle-back of the bowl)....

Per Sid Smith in the DGM Guestbook, "Jeremy is also a keyboard player as well." I guess this means he'll cover for Bill in that capacity too. :)

So...it looks like KC has a new drummer for the fall tour in Jeremy Stacy. Maybe Reiflin can decide to do the tour after all and we can just have four drummers. That wouldn't be overkill, right?
...

I have just listened to Easy Money a few times, and it sounds fantastic. I ordered the CD's and am very much looking forward to putting them on the stereo. We shall see if I can hold off from buying...

Gabriel did in fact record an orchestral version of Heroes that that you can hear on Scratch my Back. :)

A Bus... is listed under Cardiac Arrest, but the price is about five times as absurd as Ditzy Scene.

Thanks for the recs! I'll definitely consider adding Sea Nymphs or Mr. & Mrs. & Mr. (as well as the Bill Drake) to one of my next orders.

So...a few months ago, following some recommendations from everyone here, I picked up A Little Man, Songs for Ships, and On Land from Wayside Music. I played those three albums more than I EVER could...

I believe that a show on the UK tour was filmed for DVD, but I'm not 100% sure without checking. It looks like I won't be able to catch this one either, so I look forward to checking it out.

^ I have heard so far that there are vocals, but I didn't attend the shows, so...

I'm praying to the Prog Gods (y'know, Banks and friends) that this is true.

And that they come back to the US. Soon.

Definitely super excited for this! The concert in 2014 was one of the musical highlights of my life. Speaking of, does anyone have any thoughts on the newly released 2014 live tracks on the (2015)...

For those interested:

^ I agree. It seems more than a little bit inconsiderate to people who want to be surprised by the set.

^ I don't think so. According to RF, there are three new group pieces: Radical Action (To Unseat The Hold Of Monkey Mind), Meltdown, and Suitable Grounds For The Blues. I'm very excited for some of...

I do wonder where the three new tracks are. They seem to be missing. Does anyone know if they were played, or is the set correct?

I need to see them. Again. Once in 2014 wasn't enough.

Done.


I just ordered A Little Man, Land & Sea, and Songs for Ships. My wallet is not friends with PE right now, needless to say. I'll report back when I get them, but I ordered them ahead to my...

Okay, so by my count:

A Little Man 5
Songs for Ships 5
Land and Sea 4
Sing to God 1
All that Glitters 1
Greatest Hits 1

So...decisions.

My dad got me into "prog" when he took me to see Genesis in 2007, but the first prog record I bought for myself was Steve Hackett's Voyage of the Acolyte, which remains one of my faves.

Steve,

I'm heading out to school on the 23rd. If I were to order my items (to the US) tomorrow, could you get them to me in time? If not, it's no problem. I'll just order them to my school...
