OzProg
For decades, progressive rock has been focussed around the global epicentres of the USA and Europe. From King Crimson, Pink Floyd and Yes in the 60s and 70s to Dream Theater, Tool, Opeth in the 80s and 90s, the 20th Century’’s legacy of progressive music doesn’t have much in the way of an Aussie flavour. But this is a ...new millenium, and pioneers like Cog, Karnivool and Laura are leading the way for a new generation of expressive, intelligent, creative music down under which is beginning to make waves internationally.
The “progressive rock sound” can be hard to pin down at the best of times, so OzProg.com has put together a diverse and far-reaching sextet of bands that share one common trait: sublime talent. They have assembled to form a Voltron-like beast known as PROG FEST, hitting Melbourne’s East Brunswick Club from 7:00pm on Saturday 27th December.
Headlining the night will be hometown heroes NE OBLIVISCARIS, a volatile six-piece who sweep from the extremes of full-bore gritty metal and etherial subtlety with ease. In support will be SLEEPMAKESWAVES, a Sydney post-rock band with worldwide appeal, showcasing their luscious, bombastic style alongside Melbourne’s MUSHROOM GIANT, who will perform songs from their highly acclaimed album “Kuru”. Rounding out the group is the eclectic trio of A STATE OF FLUX (launching the digital single "Pulse; Impulse"), NEW BORN and PURPLE ELEPHANT.
Who said there’s no originality left in music?
Tickets can be pre-purchased from the EBC website (www.eastbrunswickclub.com) for $17 including booking fee or $20 on the door. An extremely limited edition CD will be free upon entry for the first 100 people through the door featuring a fine selection of tracks from all six bands playing on the night.
