Just a note that at 9:00pm tomorrow night (Friday, November 14th) we'll be featuring Indonesia's amazing simak Dialog. For those who were here last year to see them you'll be pleased to know that...
Just a couple of notes: There are very few reservations left - last I knew we were 7-8 tix from a sell-out. That means two things. Obviously, if you're hoping to come to the show you need to email...
So here's some FSE for ya...

Well, there is a bunch of stuff on YouTube, but mostly crappy audio. There is one I saw that was filmed in their rehearsal room a few days before they played their first gig - and that is really...
Hells ya it was pretentious - and we loved it!
Moderators - this was posted in the wrong forum! Please move to the "what's on / new" forum, where I meant to post this!

I'll be there. It will be my 18th.
Is the DVD from NearFest or is it from the show done later that year presented by Classic Rock Productions?
Most definitely sounds like a great show!
NOTE!! There's been a change in start time - starting at 9:00pm instead of 8:00pm. To be honest we likely would not have started before 8:30 anyway (what some refer to as 8:00 Orion Time). Still,...

Listened to some of this in the car today. 1974 never sounded so good!
Another very fine RoSFest! Thanks a million George, Krista, Carl (monitor sound guy), Bobby Mac, all the Majestic Crew, so many others! Anyway, my surprise band was Fright Pig. Man did they lay...
How about Stolen babies? I love this band and am so F'ing pi'd I missed them just a month ago here in Baltimore! Damn! Anyway, I met the most lovely Dominique (she who wields the weapon of mass...
Well, that was a big ol' throbbing slice of amazing music! Thanks to everyone who came out!
Thanks Steve! I'm not sure how many folks from this area actually see postings here (as opposed or in addition to those who get my emails or are on the studio's Facebook list) so it seems this is...
Stolen Babies!
Well, there's Peter Gabriel.... (oops - just noticed Jed's previous quoted comment!)
Wow - I'd ask "who really cares' but it's already been asked earlier in this thread and it's obvious that a lot of Yes fans care. But at the end of the day the RRHOF is a tourist attraction and...
Damn, Steve! These descriptions are SO much better than mine - mind if I swipe them for my emails/website?
I didn't know that McKenna Lee had studied at Princeton, home of another really great "chamber prog" band Newspeak.
Sort of as an interesting side story - after first making contact with Andrew regarding doing a show here, and having listened to what was then available on-line, my first question to him was ".. can...
Could this be a partial explanation?
2819
A bunch of these are from a show at Orion - particularly the one with the guys from Discipline was one of the better shows that ever happened here. Always Almost, Iluvatar, and Discipline on the...
New Amsterdam Records has just released the entire The Knells album for streaming - check it out here:
...
Our next show is on Saturday night, November 16th, and features NYC-based The Knells, an 8-piece "post rock neo-psychedelic chamber prog band". Chapman Stick virtuoso Rob Martino will open the show,...
Couple of Norwegian bands coming to Orion in December: Bushman's Revenge and Cortex.
My fault - not theirs'. There is a direct relationship between drunkenness and how loud I seem to push the faders. Sorry 'bout that! The beer was good... And that chocolate wine was strange but...
It was nice that SimakDialog got an early start, thanks, I understand, to ThankYou Scientist being really fast at both setting up and breaking down after their set. So Simak started, what, 30...
Ya - ProgDay does it again! That one-two punch at the beginning of Sunday was just electrifying! So much so we started getting lightning. Out of the Beardspace followed by Thankyou Scientist -...
I have a room for ProgDay that has two double beds - if there is someone who would like to save some bucks and share that room just contact me at mike at orionsound do com. The room is rented for...
The Cheezits bit from Idot Flesh's "Fancy" album.
I ran sound for them at the French Embassy one night. A truly superb trio - fabulous music! I think it was last year and that was one of if not THE best show I saw all year (okay - NearFest).

yup!

This was the album that changed everything for me. I'd already been wandering down Bungle avenue and already liked a bunch of pretty heavy bands, even some death metal. But the first SGM album...
Tomorrow night! Last show of 2012 - in fact the last Orion show before the end of the world!
Wow, Chain - you've got to get on a boat and go see it! I have a whole bunch of friends on a ship off the coast of Australia right now, steaming for the intersection of clear skies and central...
Ed - given your love of listening from the hallway we'll just put your Lazy Boy down by the old Kurgans room.
Sheesh - I made the same mistake on the last show! Ya - corrected the start time to 7:00pm. And since we're going to do sound checks between sets on this one we may even actually get started by...

Ya - I'm a total astrogeek, and have been pretty much my whole life. Here's a picture of the observatories in my back yard - located just a few miles NE of downtown Baltimore, so the skies are murky...
