All--
I know it has been a while since I have posted an update here-- I have been concentrating on the promotion of the Progressive Nation/DT show here in Oakland which is coming up this Saturday. As a quick refresher, the show is on June 27th and 28th at the Independent in San Francisco. Tickets should be on sale on May 10th. Confirmed acts at this point for Saturday are Liquid Tension Experiment as the headliner, Zero Hour in their album debut of "Dark Deceiver" and Sun Caged in their US debut. The Rocket Scientists with Lana Lane will be playing on Friday night. Many of you will not be familiar with them-- but I guarantee you this will be a good show- This will be the Spocks Beard of the show, that some of the die-hard power metal guys will probably not like, but the more melodic/prog crowd will really enjoy.
I will announce the Friday night headliner this week-- This a world-renowned vocalist who has played with one of the greatest guitar gods on the planet, as well as a number of other bands. Joining him as special guests on stage will be some other legendary Bay Area rockers that will close out Friday night in style.
There will be several other bands announced in the next few weeks before we go on sale- It is very difficult to get bands from overseas at this time, because of the summer festival scene, increased airfares, weak dollar, visa issues etc as you have seen posted here numerous times before. I promise that some of the other additions will not disappoint, as I build the unique identity of this festival out here in the Bay Area.
I will continue to post updates here, and mainly use my forum for everything.. See you all in SF!!
