Hmm.. maybe I should try reading the forums, and not just check my subscriptions.

When I found out Marco Minnemann and Guthrie Govan dropped out of the Steven Wilson tour for another band they're involved in, I had to check it out. And damn, this is some really good prog.

These guys are touring right now. Caught the second show of the tour last night here in SF. Go see this. You must. Holy shit. What a freak show.

Also seeing Rush in Vegas in a couple weeks.

New Symphony X album came out this week. If you like any of their stuff, you'll probably like this.

I like after he adds shit and he looks at the camera with this, "it's that easy, ok?" expression.

From Orange County, CA. Painted Wives. Hard to describe.. I get a Mastodon meets Alice in Chains vibe from them for some reason. They're unsigned, but have a CD out on their own label.

They have that indefinable something that gives them a unique sound. I listened to a couple on YouTube, excellent stuff!

Classic Prog:

Steven Wilson just announced a new EP that will be released on January 22. Contains some leftover tracks from the HCE and Raven sessions.

What did you all think of the new David Gilmour album? The opening song was great and then the second song made the whole album 'meh' for me. Wish he would make another album exactly like division bell / on an island. I just love those chilly melodic guitars.
