This was a write up in the description of a show someone just posted on Dimeadozen:
"Progressive Rock" Fans are a funny bunch. Despite the label given to the music they like,
what they want the least is something "new" (let alone progressive). They'd rather go to a show
see a band perform their 1985 album in its entirety, then go see a new band. And if that new band doesn't
sound like Genesis, they wouldn't go see them at all. Of course no venue would consider booking a young,
largely unknown Prog Band, that doesn't cover Supper's Ready.
"What a crying shame", thought Oliver from Germany and established his "Progressive Promotion", to give
young, largely unknown but incredibly talented Prog bands the opportunity to play live. Soon after, a record label
and online record shop followed. "Progressive Promotion Records" was born.
To celebrate the 5th Anniversary in 2011, a festival was staged at the heart of the Rhein-Main-Area. It was such fun
for everybody involved, organizers, venue, bands and most of all fans, that the festival was repeated in 2012.
I'll bring you all seven shows of the 2012 edition in the next couple of days.
