Try this new band for size....

Please give this band a serious listen.
Here is a tasty new "prog-ject" almost ready to be independently released, so I'm looking for critical feedback from you guys (& gals) here on PE as final touches are put to the package...
I believe this opening track could be a "winner"...

Can't open it. Do you need Quicktime?

Pretty retro, and I like it alot. Very 70s Proggy, with some spacy Psychedelic edges. I'm guessing this is a collaboration of old heads, as opposed to newcomers trying their hand at an old form. I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

Calabasas Jim alert!! In your wheelhouse, buddy.

Close guess, but it's actually a collaboration of "old head" influence on two 17 year olds (drummer & guitarist), with the father of the drummer on keyboards & vocals. Basicly, it's a three piece core band with some special guests.
We have twelve tracks in the can and enough material for a second album.
Chalkpie: - Sorry you could'nt get the link (Yes it's Quicktime, so did you allow enough time for it to load?), however, as this prog-ject remains under wraps, I'm attempting to minimize too many "easy" copies flooding the web prematurely.
It will hopefully become an independent release once the cover art and song running order is finalized.

Interesting. I'd really like to hear more.

Hi Mick, a family tradition starting? Keep us posted, first impressions are very good.

.... and so you shall.

Hi Mick, a family tradition starting? Keep us posted, first impressions are very good.

The "family tradition" of direction, promo, advice and visuals will involve me mate... however the music, lyrics, concepts, engineering & the magic combination of the right audible ingredients was entirely up to "the band" this time (Like pre-1970 Nektar). With over a dozen tracks already "in the can", the band is also out there playing live.
Anyway, here is another track already....

Incidentally, this band is playing at Bobby Simones in Doylestown PA tomorrow night (Thursday).

I forgot to comment on the 2nd clip...Um, I liked the first one much better. Still want to check this out when it is released.
