    Baja Prog - a thing of the past

    Are they still doing Baja Prog? I haven't heard anything about it for a few years.

    They did one in 2014, but not this year.

    Maybe I would make one last trek if they have one in the next 5 years.

    Well OK, what I meant was, what is Baja Prog? I am guessing it's not King Crimson doing a version of "Who Let the Dogs out".

    Baja Prog is a 4 day Prog music festival with bands of all styles of Prog including Avant, Symph, Fusion and Prog Metal... even Zeuhl and Canterbury bands on occasion. It happens in the border town of Mexicali. It has always been phenomenal.
    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

    You people in Europe and the Americas should consider yourselves so fortunate to even have prog festivals of any kind.

    I've always regretted I haven't made it to a Baja Prog. I did see Cast once. This festival always sounded cool.

    I've only been to one, but it was beyond killer! Getting there is half the fun, NOT!

    We lounged by the hotel pool all day listening to live bands outside, took a break for dinner, and then drove over to the Teatro for the bigger bands. This goes on 4 days in a row. We wound up sitting by the pool at a table with Eric Norlander & his bride Lana Lane for over an hour one day talking about the politics of the music business, prog & otherwise.
