[atlantaprog] Re: Speechless Fri gig recap & reminder of Decatur gig THIS SAT, June 24th!

I've told ya'll how I keep encountering young musicians who are toatlly influenced by prog. We're long past the punk anti-prog backlash now. I remember when I was a kid, discovering cool things in old big band records, not mention classical (thanks to groups like ELP holding my hand into the world of classical). I think the newest generation is finding the same kinds of things in prog we found in big band jazz & classical.

Make sure you all tell folks to come to THIS years Rogue fest!

Hi folks-

*****Just thought I would drop a line here to remind
you all that Speechless will be playing this coming
Saturday night in Decatur at Club 29, which you all
may remember as the old Jake's Toadhouse- the place
Rougefest was held last year.  See our page for more
details... We are special guests at Mike Levine's cd
release party and our set should begin around 9:30ish.
 Come on northside!!!!  This is your chance to see
Atlanta's newest rock/prog/fusion band live!*****

Also, last Friday's gig in Jonesboro went great!  You
all missed a good one!  We were on the bill with three
other bands, two of which were prog and very good.  I
asked them if they knew about ARIA and they said
"What's that?", so I mentioned to them what it's
about.  Nice to see more prog bands come out of the
woodwork around town!  Apparently they aren't all on
here yet!  Check out the bands at MySpace.

Totality sounded like they were all pushing 40 (in a
classic kinda way- taseful with a great reverence for
70s prog sounds and approaches) when I visited their
page.  Amazingly they are all high school age!  And I
think are probably the tightest band that age I have
encountered yet around ATL, and you all know there are
a few good ones!  Check out that first tune there and
tell me that dosen't sound like classic Camel, or
something from that school of sound...... Their
originals were good and they even covered "Hells
Kitchen" from DT.  Gravel Undertow I hear were great
as well.  They played after my bedtime but our drummer
Derik stayed for the set and gave them great props!
So check these young bands out folks! The need your
support!
