It is clearly the only way to get some attention.

I saw him last night, and from what I could gather, they played quite a bit from the new one. In the context of the show, I highly enjoyed the presentation of the material. Outside of that, I'm not...

One more bump for this one. I'm now shipping signed Digipak versions of the album via Bandcamp. If you're in North America, this will be your best bet for costs. I am shipping elsewhere too, but for...

"CanStock"

If there was a festival solely dedicated to the music of Can and a celebration of female breasts, would every other Prog festival cease to be?

I caught them at Iridium in NYC last night. If you're searching for a a shining example of a group of musicians who can masterfully teeter on the tightrope of absolute control and absolute chaos...

What kind of person takes their shirt off?

I find a lot of inspiration creatively and artistically from many of artists of what was later to become known as "punk." Actually, I think the two genres were a lot more similar in terms of their...

You can now stream, download, and purchase the album through Bandcamp, which is one of the most artist-friendly places to do such a thing.

One last bump for this. There are 7 days left to contribute at www.pledgemusic.com/randymcstine. It is currently 86% funded.

Here's another tune from Blank called What You Become.

Trust me, I'm appreciative of the coverage. I don't have a particularly active profile from a press point of view, so I'm not really sure how I'm viewed (or not viewed) here based on different...

As in you're wondering why I'm surprised?

That is correct. Jane regularly works with Alex Skolnick as a co-guitarist, but she had some tour dates booked in Europe earlier in 2016 for which he was unavailable. Rather than just getting someone...

I am quite surprised to see this thread on here!

There are 16 days left in the campaign, and it is currently 80% funded. I hope to not hit the panic button, but we'll see how it goes. :)

This...

With no intention of being condescending here, comparing Wes to ELO is a ridiculous false equivalency. Of course he would prefer a band on the road. This is not economically realistic, as even adding...

Exactly. He's a conversationist, not an interviewer of the traditional sense. A lot of amazing, insightful talks with important artists of yesterday and today.

Thanks SRS. I'll speak with Jonas about it.

Pre-orders for The Fringe begin today through Reingold Records. Here is a single edit of a song called Flare.

One more teaser, and a full song goes up tomorrow.

It will be CD for a little while.

I'll have some copies of the somewhat-maligned last record I did, The Age Of Entitlement. A Deep Breath has been out of print for a while now, and I might have a handful of "budget package" versions...

We will have copies exclusively at our merch table at Rosfest on the day of our set.

It will start shipping from Reingold Records in June.

There will be more.

Although it is likely that many of your current thoughts and playlists are dominated by The Purple One, I'm just going to drop this off here for whenever you feel like getting around to it. Our debut...

Jonas was involved in the mastering, not mix.

The Tories

Just a little update that there is now an official website for the band. It's very basic for now, with links to all of the current social media accounts; Facebook, Twitter, Intagram, YouTube…There is...

I'm for all of that!

Happy New Year!

The Fringe is making some progress towards a 2016 launch. We posted this video today...

Five pages and no mention of Stevie Wonder. So, I'm here to say....Stevie Wonder.

Your assumption is incorrect in this particular situation.

I'm really excited to announce this special performance with Nick D'Virgilio! We've done a couple of gigs as a duo in the past, but this will be a different beast. You can expect to hear songs from...

I heard the track once during a recent session I had with Nick. I believe they switch off on individual sections, and then join together from the "duel" until the end. It might go Nick>Jimmy (when...

I know. I just wanted to get off the Prog path a bit. :)

"I only watch porn for the soundtrack."

Are we talking about the whole album here? I don't want to know the visuals that may have accompanied "Rainmaker" or "Hidden Treasure."

Well, I'd say we're more King's X and Kyuss than King Crimson and Kansas. More The Police and Prince than Procol Harum and Premiata Forneria Marconi. More…ok, shut up. :)

I can't say for sure, but hopefully someone will have some copies to sell. Greg Walker would be a likely candidate.

I loved The Next Day. To each their own…

I'm forgetting who it was now, but someone of note said something along the lines of "Artists have made entire careers out of one of Bowie's passing...

Famous last words! We're actually just making another Genesis Rewired record...

It is unfortunate about the NJPH, as that was going to be the front-end of our time together. We're not doing any shows this time other than the one in Ft Wayne.

Were you at the Orion show last...

Thanks! Yeah, the audience camera's mic is getting crushed there. You can view several videos from a house concert we did at a PE alum's house back in November of last year here.

As for an album,...

Hey, wait!… :)

We played together for the first time two years ago this week as "Nick D'Virgilio Trio" for a couple of dates in Poland. There are a few videos out there from our second gig, including this jam in...

:up

Jordan is not in the band. He'll be an integral part of the song we're recording together, and there is the possibility of him adding some nuances to some other tunes we've already recorded.

Nick and I are sort of co-lead vocalists, passing the ball back and forth a lot of times between sections or different lines. That being said, there will certainly be songs that are sung by just one...

Supergroups.

Did anyone mention that scoring a porno might be a way of expanding Prog? I suppose it's worth a try...

They let Swedish bass players visit from time to time!

Next week, Nick D'Virgilio (Big Big Train), Jonas Reingold (Karmakanic), and myself (Randy McStine, Lo-Fi Resistance) are meeting up in Indiana at Sweetwater Sound for further adventures of our new...

The Ocean Is The Ultimate Solution…2012 remaster is great. I've actually never heard the vocal version, as my intro to this album was through Lather. I'm curious to hear the alternate.

We did a trio version of "Follow Me To Sleep" at a house concert back in November 2014. It's raw, with a lot of fun moments. Check it out!

I think you've touched on one of the biggest factors here; demographics. I think it may be safe to say that in general, we're not going to have 55+ audiences mingling largely with audiences aged...

Nick doesn't work for Cirque Du Soliel anymore, but yes, his schedule is of a more "straight gig" these days.

As for bands making live debuts (though I've been corrected about BBT playing live...

Take into consideration that BBT has just played their first live gigs! It's much easier to manage schedules with a studio band.

It's a new venue in town. They had a few heavier rock shows a couple of months back, then took a break for remodeling. Some different shows are coming there soon; King's X, Kim Simmonds' Savoy Brown,...
