THanks loads :) Good times. Hawkwind were storming :)

The current Hawkwind line-up are amazing live. We (the Fierce And The Dead) are opening for them in a couple of weeks on their summer dates, they are SO good. Highly recommended.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it.

Thank you Matt, looking forward to Suite For Piano and Electronics!

See you soon!

Prog magazine have just premiered the third video from the album:

Not in any way, just saying they have in the past :)

Steady now, I've seen your moves X

Rosfest have booked at least one post rock type band, in 2017. George is a legend and Rosfest is an awesome festival.

Date was 6/10/17 - I had to look it up - there was a review!

Hiya Mike!

They were the final recordings for us to reference, we have rough rehearsals and garageband or early pro-tools works in progress too :) I'll find out that date over the weekend. Thanks...

Thanks very much, we had so much fun making this record and we've beem blown away by the response to it, Prog mag made it their lead review and the press has been really good alongside the fan...

AWESOME, I shall see you then sir!

We get prog, psychedelic, stoner rock and post rock at present. Really we're an instrumental rock band that combines all of the above with some metal and electronic stuff.

It's cause we've...

Thanks Mike, see you soon man :)

New album is out today - you can have a listen to the whole thing @:

Cheers X

Cheers for all the positive feedback X Here is another tune from the new album :)

We're really excited to be playing :)

Dilate is their best stuff, when they pushed past the post rock. Amazing live act.

Great live band, really special, actually progressive.

This is going to be so much fun :)

Really sad to hear about the staff at TeamRock losing their jobs just before Christmas. Jerry, Jo, Russell, Hannah, Natasha, Grant and the freelancers at Prog(and Classic Rock) have always been there...

Mark Buckingham (Miracleman/Fables/Hellblazer/Neil Gaiman) is a prog fan and he's done artwork for The Gift and The Fierce And The Dead 9253

He's a lovely man too.

The Peel - Kingston.

Most important prog venues of the last 10 years everyone inc Fish,Oceansize, Amplifier, Tinyfish, Pallas, Pendragon, Knifeworld, Haken, Frost, IQ etc etc . Sadly it's been...

I enjoyed both sets (I hid at the back). Mike Bearpark is a great guitar player. Nice to see so much joy in the room. Good stuff.

Bill Ward had a stand in ready when he toured towards the end of his time in Sabbath.

We have a song with 2 sung words. Are we out of the instrumental band club too?

Aww, thank you Vicky :)

I like em, they're on the list of bands we want to play with....

Just listened to Von Frickle for the first time, they're pretty cool, thanks!

I'd agree they are a pretty important part of the current movement of bands. Things are changing cause Knifeworld, Bent Knee, Trojan Horse etc are crossing over and the progressive scene is becoming...

His work with Lifetime and Bruford is the highlight of his career but it's all relative. Him and Mclaughlin define fusion guitar.

Cheers for your interest ref Fierce And The Dead

Thanks Kerry, hope you guys play over here soon.

We're really looking forward to playing and appreciate the Rosfest team booking us, especially as we push the boundaries of progressive music.

Still a few in Berwick street left in Soho or Rough Trade and Flashback Records in East London.

It was well organised. Saw some great bands, good times.

The second death is always hardest.

BEM and Esoteric are both good, speaking from personal experience of being signed to them.

Because we don't tour internationally we've had people come from Japan, Ireland, Netherlands and the US to see us - mostly at festivals but because they can see a load of their favourites in one...

For BEM releases may I recommend this - It's Emmett Elvin from Guapo/Knifeworld/Chrome Hoof's excellent solo album that features loads of people from the London avant-prog end of things.
...

It's a great label.

I can only echo Kavus. Fierce And The Dead get asked when we're coming but unless we win the lottery it's looking very unlikely. I'd love to do it. But for the moment the focus is the UK/Europe.

No one I know apart from Steven Wilson and even he does remix work as well.

How do you make a small amount of money out of prog?

First start with a large amount of money.

And sold out - truly remarkable for a prog festival in the current climate

Review of the Summers End Prog Festival http://theprogressiveaspect.net/blog/2015/10/24/summers-end-festival-2015/

We've played with them on many occasions - great band.

Blimey that's twice what we did with the band!

They're progressive and they're rock. Add a few more solos and a bit less reverb to most post rock and it's prog. :)

Exactly!

My friends who were around in the 70's often tell me that the music wasn't labeled prog untill much later, it was called underground music or psychedelic music at the time.

I think we need to look at the fact that many of the progressive music events aren't labeled prog. Check out the audience on these photos of Arctangent, people listening to music in 11/8! Under 40!...

I think now is an amazing time to be in a band. Arctangent festival etc have proved that thousand of young people will come out see bands playing new "progressive music". Good times. Mogwai sold out...

If you sell to 10% of your likes on Facebook you're doing well. And in the current scene 1000 sales for an underground/non heritage act that's good. If you appeal to a younger audience you'll be...

Prog's audience is growing. It's just not called prog, they call it post rock. Look at the recent Arctangent festival - Trojan Horse, 65Daysofstatic, Fierce And The Dead, Alright The Captain, Mike...

I'm looking forward to it. :)

In the UK we have Ramblin Man (mainstream prog), Arctangent (post-rock/prog), Summers End, HRH Prog, And until recently Resonance and Celebr8. We're very luck here I suppose.

Not on TV but this is the best I can do :)

They played Arctangent in front of 1000 people on Friday. This festival showcased a lot of the new wave of british bands that sit between prog/experimental rock etc. Vennart played, Polymath, we did...
