I haven't seen much talk about it, so I thought I'd make sure
that people knew about the progressive rock festival, ProgScape. It's
taking place this weekend (6/29 and 6/30) in Baltimore, Maryland at Stephens
Hall in Towson University. There will be four progressive rock bands playing
each day and there will be CDs being sold for the bands and probably
additional prog-rock CDs being sold by "Of Sound Mind" (who sponsored
the event). The shows start at 1pm and the cost is $25 in advance (and
either $25 or $30 at the door, I'm not sure).
Day 1
Iluvatar (USA) Superior Middle-Period Genesis meets Marillion
Miriodor (Canada) Quirky, Instrumental, Rock-In-Opposition tinged
Porcupine Tree (UK) Searing to ambient Space Prog ala best Pink Floyd
Fourth Estate (USA) Crunching Instrumental fusion/rock ala Steve Morse Band
Day 2
Glass Hammer (USA) Majestic keyboard driven Prog
Braindance (USA) Remarkable Neo-Gothic Prog Metal
Eclat (France) Classic 70s French lyricism with the jamming virtuosity
of Minimum Vital
Boud Deun (USA) Unique, driving and complex Prog Fusion
