Great news!
Right on.
Interest was already building as soon as I heard of them planning a new release! Great stuff Steve, can't wait.
Yes! Love these guys. Great that they are back.

Killer track. Looking forward to this album.
Are they reformed with all the original members?
I only ask because I like this track much more than anything from their two albums.
Please don't ask questions, just use google.
Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.
I'm only here to reglaze my bathtub.
I'm not even going to listen to this demo track. This is an autobuy for me.

Cool. I was wondering if they were done, or not.
Hired on to work for Mr. Bill Cox, a-fixin' lawn mowers and what-not, since 1964.

Wow! Killer track!
loved the first 2... looking forward to this!
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?
About f'n time.
Well I've heard of these guys but never heard any stuff. Sample sounds really good, are their previous albums in a similar vein?

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
This not an untypical track (from their first album):
Oh I need some of that. Thanks!!

Thanks Steve, nice stuff.
I'm sorry, really sorry to have to bring this up but every time I see the band name "Happy Family" I am reminded of this song:
Partly at least their second release, Toscco from 1997 - which I'd personally rate as one of the top 15 or so progressive rock albums from the 90s. Heavier but probably less overtly weird than Ruins or Koenjihyakkei, they nevertheless possess some of that to-the-bone force which is usually associated almost exclusively with Japanese acts (Ground Zero, Bondage Fruit, Altered States, Optical 8 et al.).Originally Posted by NogbadTheBad

@Rcarlberg
But it is probably the KC song that is their reference?

Three (Guitar, Drums, Keyboards) are the same guys from "Toscco". The bassist is a new guy.
Yes.
FYI, they once used the KC song as a gig opening SE.
