Saw them at ProgDay they were great.Oh how I wish I could go to this!
For those that are going on Friday please check out and support Tempano. One of my very favorite bands with a very interesting history. Pioneers of progressive rock in South America (Venezuela) in the late 70's. Released one classic album in '79 Atabal-Yemal then promptly broke up. The Tempano name carried on throughout the 80's and 90's with one original member and became a pop act. Quite popular in their home country. Then finally some 20+ years later the original 4 reunited to once again play their first album and work on new material in their unique progressive style. They've released 3 albums since. 2006 The Agony & The Ecstasy being my favorite.
Fantastic stuff - here is a couple of links (one of them in the early years and one later) to check out if you want to hear some of them:
Presencias y Ausencias - The original lineup in 1980 shortly before they broke up[/URL]
El Fin de la Infancia - from their first album after reuniting 1999 - they came back in a big way with this huge epic piece.
any other fans of this band?
